Overview

Federal Signal MicroStat 4" Pipe (MSP-4) is a compact, high-performance status indicator designed for OEM applications requiring reliable visual signaling in industrial environments. Part of the renowned MicroStat series, this 4-segment unit delivers exceptional optical clarity while maintaining a minimal footprint—just 2.2" in diameter (55.9 mm)—making it ideal for space-constrained installations. The MSP-4 is factory-assembled and available in both 24V AC/DC and 120V AC configurations, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of control systems and PLC outputs, including Triac-based interfaces. Engineered for durability, the MicroStat 4" Pipe features a rugged Type 4X enclosure that provides superior protection against dust, water, and harsh industrial conditions. The unit supports surface mounting or direct 3/4-inch NPT pipe mounting, offering flexible installation options to suit diverse operational requirements. Each segment is available in five vibrant lens colors—Amber, Blue, Clear, Green, and Red—allowing for clear status differentiation in multi-signal applications. Optional 50,000-hour LED lamps enhance longevity and reduce maintenance costs, while the innovative lens design locks securely and snaps apart with a simple twist for quick lamp replacement and easy reconfiguration. For applications demanding both visual and audible alerts, the MSP-4 can be integrated with the optional MicroStat Sound Module (MSS). This add-on features a piezoelectric horn delivering 93-95 dBa at 1 meter (83-85 dBa at 10 feet), ensuring compliance with OSHA and industry safety standards. The sounder is PLC-compatible and rated for NEMA Type 1 use, making it suitable for indoor industrial settings where ambient noise may require supplemental signaling. Federal Signal’s MicroStat series is trusted by OEMs and system integrators across chemical processing, water treatment, manufacturing, and automation industries due to its consistent performance and adherence to the highest safety certifications, including UL and cUL listings. The compact design, vibration-resistant construction, and high-quality wedge lamps ensure reliable operation even in demanding environments. Whether used as a standalone indicator or as part of a multi-unit stack, the MicroStat 4" Pipe delivers precision, durability, and ease of integration—backed by Federal Signal’s legacy of innovation in industrial signaling solutions. Ideal for machine status monitoring, process control, safety alerts, and equipment diagnostics, the MSP-4 provides engineers and facility managers with a versatile, low-maintenance solution that enhances operational visibility and compliance.
