Electrical characteristics
The flexible printed circuit:
The flexible printed circuit is the master part of the LEDs lighted indicator. It links mechanically and electrically the head and the body.
It performs the following functions:
H
H
H
H
Lighting through LEDs
Keeping body with head together when this one is off
Supporting electrically and mechanically the LEDs and components together
Wiring connections
The thickness of this flexible printed circuit has been determined to be as flexible as possible to make 150,000 cycles for mechanical endurance
and enough rigidity for face traction.
FULL DISPLAY
(MONOCASE)
The DIMMING:
The LED PB switch lighting can be controlled either by a continuous
28VDC power supply or by 28VDC PWM source.
The current consumption is <50 mA.
1) 28VDC power supply mode H The use of a continuous 28VDC on pins 9 and 4
(pin 4 only for monocase) allows a BRIGHT mode lighting
H The use of a continuous 28VDC on pins 8 and 5
(pin 8 only for monocase) allows a DIM mode lighting
SPLIT DISPLAY
(BICASE)
2) 28VDC PWM control mode
The use of a 28 VDC PWM source on pins 9 and 4 (pin 4 only for monocase)
allows a full dimage of the lighting by varying the PWM duty cycle. The variation
law between the luminance and the duty cycle is linear.

General terms of sales
 Acceptance of order
 Delivery
The customer's order and its acceptance by l'EQUIPEMENT ET LA CONSTRUCTION ELECTRIQUE (here in
called Company), in the same way as the acceptance of
all goods by the customer, until the customer's agreement
to these Standard Terms and Conditions of sale.
Company is only committed by the remittance of a firm
offer, on its headed paper. It is not bound by the undertakings that may be entered into by its representatives or
employees as long as it has not confirmed them. Offers
will hold good only for the option period indicated on the
quotations. This is three months, apart-from stipulations
to the contrary.
For all the supplies being the subject of an additional
order or amendment prices and delivery times are quoted
without taking the main order into account.
The delivery is considered to be made at Company's
works or stores.
The equipment travels at the consignee's risk, even if
shipped "carriage paid" or "assembled on the spot"; these
conditions being considered as a factor determining the
price agreed to without any shift in responsibility.
The risks relating to the products sold become the liability
of the purchaser as soon as he is notified that the equipment is at his disposal or else, if in-factory acceptance has
been scheduled, eight days after he has been informed
that the equipment is ready.
 Cancellation of order
An order may not be either totally or partially cancelled
without Company's prior agreement in writing. ln the
event of an order in process of execution being cancelled,
all the goods whose manufacture has commenced will
be delivered and billed. Moreover, if Company has had to
procure raw materials or special products in view of executing the aforesaid order, the cost of these procurements
will be billed without deducting their possible reemployment value.
 Design studies and projects
The studies and documents handed over by Company
remain its sole property and should be returned on request.
Company retains the patent rights of its projects which
may not be communicated or executed without its
permission in writing.
22
 Prices
Company's quotations are established before VAT,
ex-works. ln the event of variations of economic conditions,
they can be readjusted where listed equipment is concerned, or revised whilst the order is in process for equipment supplied against estimates.
 Delivery times
The delivery times mentioned on Company's documents
are provided as an indication. Company will do everything
possible for them to be observed. Nevertheless the delays
which may be observed may in no event involve Company's
responsibility. No penalty for the late delivery may be
applied without prior agreement in writing from Company.
ln this case the total amount of the penalties may not
exceed 10% of the price agreed. They will only be applied
if there is a real and duly established prejudice. Company
is automatically released from any commitment concerning delivery times and penalties, if the conditions have
not been observed by the purchaser or if the information or documents to be supplied by the purchaser have
Zodiac aero electric (ZEL) | LED Push-Button: Momentary & Alternate switches And Indicators
not arrived by the dates scheduled. Strikes or lock-outs,
epidemics, wars, fires, floods, transport delays, legal changes
of the working hours, toolings incidents, scrapping of
important parts during manufacture, duly established by
the customer or one of his mandated agents, or any other
case of force majeure beyond the control of Company,
can warrant an extension to the delivery time.
 Terms of payment
Company's invoices are payable at its head office,
7 rue des Longs Quartiers - CS 50029 - 93108 Montreuil
Cedex - France, in the following conditions:
• by cheque, on removal of the goods, for a first transaction
• by cheque or bank transfer, accepted and domiciled
draft, promissory note, letter of credit or bank transfer
at 30 days starting from end of month of invoice date
Any additional or different terms shall not be binding
upon Company unless specifically accepted in writing by
an authorized representative of Company.
Bills should be sent to us within 15 days after their issue.
The fact of not paying an invoice on its due date makes
the payment of all the other invoices due immediately.
For any late payment on any one of the due dates,
the sums due will bear interest at a rate of 3 times
legal interest rate without any prior notice required, and without prejudice to any other right which
Company reserves for itself.
This rate equals to European Central Bank (ECB) interest
rate applied in its current refinancing operation, plus an
increment of 10 percentage points.
over a period of 12 months as from the date of delivery.
It is applicable provided that products have been used
complying with the indications or specifications given
by Company and that no work has been done without
Company's previous agreement.
Company reserves the right to modify products in view of
improving them in order to meet warranty requirements,
purchasers undertaking not to claim any indemnification.
For products returned to Company in view of inspection,
calibration, repair and generally speaking all maintenance operations, Company's warranty is limited to three
months, in the same conditions as above.
No claim will be accepted if it has not reached the
Company within a period of one month from receipt of
the goods, which time is increased to three months in the
case of a latent defect which could not be observed within
one month.
 Disputes
Acceptance of an offer or sending of an order is equivalent
to agreeing to the Standard Terms and Conditions of sale.
The special conditions indicated on an order form only
commit Company insofar as they are not contrary to or do
not modify the terms specified in the above text.
Any dispute concerning the interpretation or application
of these terms will, failing an amicable agreement, be
decided only by the Commercial Courts with jurisdiction
over Company's domicile, whatever the place of delivery
and the method of payment, even in the case of calling
on the warranty or there being more than one defendant.
 Transfer of ownership
The transfer of ownership of the term sold takes place
automatically on the day on which it is fully paid for.
 Warranty
Company's warranty covers reconditioning free of charge,
parts and labour, of all products returned carriage paid,
