Tech/Engineering - Electronics / Elect Eng / Weighing
English term or phrase: annunciator
We have a variety of electronic weight indicators with various functions. Many of the functions cause a specific annunciator to illuminate. For example, "Press the TARE key and the NET annunciator is illuminated." I have seen annunciator translated as "indicador" but that does not work for me as we use it for "indicator." "Anunciador" sounds like an advertiser to me. Suggestions?

panel de señalización eléctrica


Explanation:
According to dict. Routledge.
It can also be "cuadro indicador" but as you say you don't want use the word "indicador", "panel de señalización" would be the best option

testigo/LED


Explanation:
He oído y leído "testigo" como sinónimo de indicador para España.

Puedes ver que aparece en Google si buscas "se ilumina el testigo" aunque acabo de ver que no aparece esta acepción en la RAE:

http://buscon.rae.es/draeI/SrvltGUIBusUsual?TIPO_HTML=2&LEMA...

(de lo que se entera uno consultando el diccionario...)

Como segunda posibilidad, "LED" puede encajar bien si confirmas que efectivamente se trata de un LED y no de otra forma de fuente luminosa.

Suerte.

agree  Jose Palomares: Lo cierto es que yo intentaría usar "indicador" en tantos casos como fuera posible, porque me parece la mejor opción. En este texto además, parecen ser sinónimos absolutos "indicator" y "annunciator". Pero si no puede ser, "LED" o "testigo" son perfectas.

indicador


Explanation:
Si el equipo es el del link mostrado abajo o similar, la mejor traducción para annunciator es indicador. Pero, para el equipo, indicator estaría mejor traducido como visor o pantalla.
