The WAŚ load resistor module, catalogue number 494 (type 02), is designed to simulate the current draw of conventional incandescent indicator lamps in 12 V–24 V vehicle systems when upgrading to LED indicator lights. This ensures that the indicator flasher unit maintains correct flash rate and system compatibility.
Constructed for installation on a suitable metallic surface (mounted via ground potential), the module accommodates two indicator lights. Key specification: universal voltage range 12 V–24 V. The module must be secured to a metal chassis part and positioned so that surface temperatures (which may reach up to 120 °C) do not affect surrounding plastic or vulnerable wiring.
This resistor module is ideal for commercial vehicle lighting systems where LED indicators are used but the original system flasher depends on a higher load for proper operation. By installing this module between the indicator feed and ground, it corrects flash-rate issues and meets regulatory requirement for indicator load simulation.
