Norgren 5VS-420-800 Rotowink Indicator - G1/8 Port
Part Number: 5VS-420-800
Quick Summary
Rotowink indicator 5VS-420-800 from Norgren clearly shows pneumatic signal presence or absence in control loops. Engineers often battle with misread signals on crowded panels, leading to delayed responses. Certification expectations vary by region; consult the official datasheet for CE, IP, or SIL references. This indicator offers bright, color-contrasted status cues and a wide visibility angle to shorten diagnostic times, improve safety, and support fast maintenance in pneumatic systems. The compact G1/8 port and robust PBT body align with industrial procurement needs, while the Rotowink family enables scalable signaling across plant-wide automation projects.

Visual status indicator with contrasting colors provides immediate feedback of a pneumatic signal's presence or absence. The off state is green and the on state is black, creating a clear dichotomy that reduces operator errors in busy environments. This is especially valuable on valve stacks and air-operated actuators where rapid status checks save minutes per changeover. Color-contrasting codes enable reliable identification in variable lighting and cluttered control panels. By standardizing the color language across machines, maintenance teams can quickly verify line status during setup, troubleshooting, and audits. This improves first-pass acceptance and reduces the need for repeated readings, cutting downtime costs. Wide viewing angle improves visibility from multiple operator positions. The Rotowink indicators are designed to be legible from the front, side, or overhead viewpoints, which is essential in compact or modular automation cells. Range of colors available offers customization per plant convention, ensuring consistency across equipment and signaling strategies. Designed for compressed air systems across a temperature of 2 to 66 C and 0.7 to 8.6 bar, with a maximum inlet pressure of 8.6 bar, ensuring reliable signaling across most plant environments. The G1/8 port size matches common fittings, simplifying installation and reducing adapter hardware. Durable body materials: PBT plastic with synthetic rubber elastomers resist typical factory solvents and wear, extending service life and reducing replacement costs. Rotowink series compatibility with the 5VS-400 range supports scalable signaling for multi-machine installations in lean automation setups.

FAQs
To install, verify the G1/8 port compatibility with your manifold, mount the Rotowink indicator in a visible location, and connect the compressed air line with a standard G1/8 fitting. Ensure the panel orientation allows clear viewing from operator stations and avoid over-tightening the body. After installation, verify that the Off state shows green and On state shows black to confirm correct signaling alignment.
The Rotowink indicator is designed for compressed air (medium) with an operating temperature range of 2 to 66 °C and operating pressure from 0.7 to 8.6 bar. Maximum inlet pressure is 8.6 bar. The G1/8 port size supports common pneumatic fittings, and the color-coded Off/On states provide immediate status feedback in typical industrial environments.
Yes. The Rotowink indicator provides a clear, color-contrasted readout of pneumatic signals ideal for control panels, valve stacks, and actuator signaling. Its wide visibility and durable PBT body enable reliable operation in crowded, high-demand automation cells, while the green/off and black/on color scheme minimizes misreads during fast line checks.
Certification details are not listed in the provided data. Please refer to the official Norgren datasheet and the product downloads section for CE, IP, SIL references or regional certifications. Verifying these in your procurement process helps ensure compliance for specific plant sites and safety programs.
The Rotowink indicator reduces downtime by enabling quick, at-a-glance status checks, speeding commissioning and fault finding. With a durable PBT body and elastomeric seals, it withstands typical factory solvents and wear, lowering replacement frequency. Its compatibility with standard G1/8 fittings simplifies retrofit projects and supports scalable signaling across multiple machines, improving overall maintenance efficiency.
