LED system light Rittal SG 2370.501 — red polycarbonate housing, indicator light

Rittal SG 2370.501 is an LED system light in a red polycarbonate housing designed for visual signalling on control panels, switchgear and machine enclosures. The unit provides 360° signal transmission through an optimised prism system and is supplied as a single indicator module. It is intended to show status information, fault conditions or process steps clearly and reliably in industrial and electrical installations.

Advantages

The polycarbonate housing offers mechanical robustness and good resistance to impact and environmental influences typical for control cabinet environments. The integrated LED source ensures low power consumption, long service life and steady light output without filament wear. The optimised prism system distributes the red signal uniformly around the module, enabling clear 360° visibility from different viewing directions.

Suitable for

• Visual status indication on control panels and switch cabinets
• Fault signalling and alarm indication in production and process systems
• Machine status display where a compact red indicator is required
• Retrofit and replacement of existing indicator modules in electrical enclosures

When it may not be suitable

This LED indicator is a single-colour red module and therefore not suitable where multi-colour or multistate indication from a single unit is required. It is intended for signalling and not for illumination of workspaces; it does not provide general lighting. For applications that require specific ingress protection ratings, additional information about sealing and mounting should be verified.

Key specifications

• Light colour: red
• Housing material: polycarbonate (PC)
• Signal distribution: 360° via optimised prism system
• Supply: single unit (1 piece)
• Intended use: indicator / signalling element for control cabinets and machines

How to use

Install the LED system light in a suitable cut-out or mounting point on the control panel or enclosure following the cabinet manufacturer’s mounting guidelines. Connect the indicator to the control or signalling circuit according to the system’s voltage and wiring requirements, ensuring correct polarity if applicable. Verify the unit’s visibility from required viewing angles and test operation during commissioning. Replace the module as a whole if the LED fails; no user-serviceable parts are inside the sealed housing.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the control circuit voltage and compatibility with the LED module
• Ensure the physical dimensions and mounting type match the panel or enclosure cut-out
• Check required visibility angles and whether a single-colour red indicator meets signalling needs
• Verify environmental requirements such as impact resistance, temperature range and any sealing needed

Usage recommendations

Use the Rittal SG 2370.501 for clear, energy-efficient red signalling in control cabinets and machines; position the indicator to maximise the 360° visibility and include it in regular system checks to ensure continuous operation.
