GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
ENCLOSURES Black powder coated aluminum. On straight sections, the metal is continuous on all sides. On curved sections, the metal is continuous on the circuit board plain, and forms isolated ribs on the top, bottom, and back. Cutting sections of the isolated ribs allows for smooth curvatures by the bending of the circuit boards and enclosures.
LED INFORMATION All LED'sare wide angle viewing, discreet, 5mm domed type. directly exposed to view. No plastic fascia is used. Colors available are RED, AMBER, and GREEN. (by special order BLUE, and WHITE)
ATTACHMENT From the ceiling on rods. To walls by cleat. Curved sections require metal backing plate (provided) adding .25' to depth.
CONTROLLER Signs are animated through a serial port on a dedicated IBM compatible PC. In most instances this is an embedded single board industrial PC with a solid state disk that resides inside the sign. In this configuration, an external PC is only required temporarily during the program editing. Communication with the external PC is conducted using RS-422 serial ASCII async 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, one stop bit.

PROGRAMMING The M-EXL control PC executes a sign script text file. This script contains embedded message text and control commands that determine the presentation modes and parameters. In most applications the script file is manually changed whenever the messages need updating. In some applications where real time information must be displayed, a sign may be loaded with special script file that causes the sign to act like a streaming ticker device. Other interactive control schemes can also be implemented via the serial communication port.
On signs equipped with an embedded PC, the script automatically starts executing power up. As many as 100 signs may be connected to a two pair RS-422 cable to a common host, which may be a PC or a modem. Command sequences may be sent to address any specific sign and put it into command mode whereby it may be downloaded and managed. Signs are blanked during command mode. Basic utility software is supplied to download scripts to signs via direct or dial up connection. Chronocastrm Windows based software is also available to manage multiple sign installations requiring complex programmed weekly schedules with override capabilities. Third party software is also available to supply real time quotes and news, and to support instant messaging functions over LANS and WANS.

POWER The units operate on 100/120 VAC, 60 Hz. Units are ETL labeled to UL and CSA safety standards. Forty five (45) feet of this standard EXL product may be powered from one 20 AMP circuit. Power entry is normally made at the right rear end of the sign. OTHER POWER FEED REQUEST MUST BE MADE WHEN ORDERING. Permanent installations require AC hard wired, per National Electric Code (NEC) using junction boxes built into sign sections. The NEC also requires a readily accessible disconnect switch on premises. Signs DO NOT have a built in power switch. Temporary, portable installations may be cord connected.
