Abstract: A locator light assembly comprising at least a light-emitting transducer and a current limiting resistance is connected to an unused digital output of equipment disposed behind a surface comprising panels. The locator light is disposed in a panel of the surface such that, when illuminated, it is visible from the front side of the surface. The locator light is illuminated by writing a value to a digital output port of the equipment. Such writing may be a command from a Facilities Maintenance Program (FMP), and may occur via a network linking the equipment to a processor running the FMP. By immediately identifying the proper panel to remove for access to the equipment, by seeing the illuminated locator light, a technician may directly access the equipment.

Abstract: A locator light assembly comprising at least a light-emitting transducer and a current limiting resistance is connected to an unused spare digital output of equipment potentially requiring service, where the equipment is disposed behind a surface comprising a plurality of panels. The locator light is disposed in a panel of the surface such that, when illuminated, it is visible from the front side of the surface (opposite the side where the equipment is located). The locator light is illuminated by writing a value to a digital output port of the equipment that is operative to output voltage on the digital output to which the locator light is connected. Such writing may a command from a Facilities Maintenance Program (FMP), and may occur via a network linking the equipment to a processor running the FMP.
