Telltale/Tattletale

[essengineer]

Hey lads,I am trying to find a device I used to use in Canada called a telltale or tattletale that you would put across a contact.The idea was that if the contact opened the device would trip a flag.It was usefull in trouble shooting if you had a intermitant fault.It was definately better than using a flashbulb!Trouble is I can't find this product in the UK.Any ideas?

Cheers Rick

Hi Rick

I know a man that uses them, (Controls Engineer) I'll give him a call next week to get his source

TT240 tattle Tale control monitor code:- 1394 in 2005 catalogue.
I've used them on a butchers coldroom. The meat was not keeping properly despite the cold room always being at the correct temperature. It turned out that the owner of the shop, who was renting it to the butcher was turning the power of at night and back on in the morning before the butcher got to work.
A case of sour grapes as the owner had previosly run the shop and went bust and didn't like to see someone else succeed.
