Expandable LED , Flexible LED , Bendable LED SIGNS..
Full Color M-ARX Models Now available "Made In the USA"
We specialize in flexible chassis’ that are extendible in length
indefinitely and allow you to create curved forms such as serpentine
and circular signs. Our flexible signs are made with discreet LEDs
rather than LED blocks. LED blocks are square package that usually
include 35 to 64 LEDs in a block. When these LED blocks are butted up
against each other end to end over many feet of sign they are not very
bendable and therefore make it very difficult to create a smooth
radius. Rather, signs made of LED blocks are fine for straight signs
but really have a very segmented look when you try to create a circular
or serpentine form. Our new SMD surface mount displays on our M-TKR models are much more flexible and don't show the lines as they are all soldered on the top of the LED cards. Our MEXL series made from individual discreet LEDs that have
32 vertical columns on a circuit board.
Introducing the
NEW FULL COLOR M-TKR SERIES USING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY, "SMD LEDS" (surface mount LEDS)
3 colors in 1 pixel RGB red green blue in 1 Pixel
Whether you need stock symbols, company logos, or just fancy script, this model
will articulate your message with picturesque clarity. M-TKR signs, commonly referred
to in the industry as “tickers,” are signs that never pause. Their tight matrixes contribute
to a sharper display than typical LED signs, not to mention their ability to
seamlessly present a constant flow of up-to-the-minute information.
Shown below, this Full-Color ticker sits snuggly inside the cement countertop of an
island bar. The stream of stock figures being pulled in from an online feed begins
at the floor and ends as an L-shaped pendant suspended above the bar. Strategically
remoting the sign’s internal components to a hidden location permitted the
chassis to be a shallow 1.75” in depth to accomodate the both embedded and
erected installation.
M-TKR Series Product Details
installations are as customizable as our signs. LED modules and
internal components can be kitted for direct installation, without
chassis, into a prepared wall cavity or can be conformed to any
previous architectural structures to create a seamless LED display.

M-EXL Series Indoor/ Outdoor.
The EXL Series
is our most universally popular product line. The EXLs
are available in multiple colors, character heights and shapes. The
chassis have no length limitations and are flexible enough to adapt to
any architectural design allowing them to accommodate any industry or
application.
Standard colors are red, amber, green, blue and white. Pseudo tricolor
is also available in the following combinations: Red, Blue and Purple;
Blue, Green and Mint; and Red, Green and Amber. The text height of each
individual sign is represented by the number in the name of the product
beginning with 2000 (2”) and ending with 10,000 (10”). Industry Rule of
Thumb: For people with 20/20 vision, reading distance is approx 50 feet
per inch of character height.
You
can wrap on a radius of two feet or with our MEXL-3000 you can make a
circular sign four feet in diameter or you can make a circle as large
as you require .
Sizes 2" & 3" character, 6" & 10" character heights
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's are
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.
DIMENSIONS
5.25"H. X 3.00 . variable length.
To determine the length of a sign the following information MUST be adhered to.
LED boards for the M-EXL 3000 are
13.6" long.
All signs or sign segments
must be in increments of 13.6"
LED ARRAY
The array for the MEXL 3000, consists of a series of black circuit
boards. Each board (13.6" long) X (5.06" high) has 224 LEDs mounted on
a .425" matrix of 7 rows high by 32 columns wide.
WEIGHT
The EXL 3000 weights 2.5 pounds per linear foot.
ATTACHMENT
From the ceiling on rods. To walls by cleats. Curved sections require
