DESIGN
Low profile threaded lens assembly with moisture seal and LITEPIPE®.
MOUNTING Mounts in 5/16˝ (8.0mm) hole on 1/2˝ centers. Panel thickness 1/32˝ to
1/8˝. Compression of the seal is accomplished by twisting the retaining
ring into place.
STANDOFF
Use standoff to adjust height of standard LED above the PCB in order to
maintain a maximum .050˝ clearance between LITEPIPE® and LED.
See STD Series data sheet on page 28.

VERSATILITY
The LITEPIPE® moisture-sealed assembly provides a method of transmitting the light from PCB
mounted LEDs to the front display panel while providing moisture protection. Both styles of LEDs,
surface mount, 3mm and 5mm standard packages can be displayed in this manner.
APPLICATION
BRIGHTNESS
The LITEPIPE® assembly increases the apparent brightness and viewing angle of a PCB mounted
LED. LITEPIPE® transmits the light from the source to the lens, which in turn disperses the light
up to 180 degrees.
APPLICATION
GAP .050˝
The LITEPIPE® threaded assembly exceeds NEMA 4 for water, ice and dust conditions when properly
installed. Because there is no physical connection between the lightpipe and PCB mounted LED, the
circuit board can be installed or removed without disturbing the panel display.
INSTALLATION
The LITEPIPE® and lens assembly is easily installed. Pass assembly through the panel opening and
position the lockwasher behind the panel. Tighten retaining ring to secure unit to the panel. Slide
PCB into position aligning LED with the end of the LITEPIPE® unit.
Pass lens through panel opening. Position lockwasher and twist on retaining ring. Use standoff
to adjust LED height to within .050˝ of LITEPIPE®.
