Custom Panel Mount Indicators

Even with thousands of standard PMIs available, modifications may be needed to satisfy unique design requirements. We offer multiple methods to deliver your custom solution.

What is a Panel Mount Indicator?

A panel mount indicator (PMI) is a type of status indicator attached directly to a device’s operator panel. It may also be called a pilot light, indicator light, or status indicator. PMIs play a vital role in operating the devices used by every industry, every day, so careful consideration should go into their design.
