Abstract

See full text

An add-on fault indicator comprising a magnetic reed switch (22) and a lamp (24) connected in series across relay contacts (10, 12, 14) with the reed switch mounted by a clamp (34) contiguous to the outer surface of the metal coil shell (6) so as to be closed by the magnetic field when the coil (2) is energized. A normal operation indicator lamp (26) is connected in series with the relay contacts to indicate closure of the latter to energize a load (20). Fault indicator lamp (24) lights if the contacts do not close when the coil is energized but is shunted by the contacts to remain unlighted when the contacts close properly.
