LED Programmable Electronic Message Center
Signs and Software
-
The Alpha Eclipse 1500 is an single-color electronic LED
outdoor sign that can display the time and the temperature in Fahrenheit
and/or Centigrade.
- The Alpha
Eclipse 1500 is one of the brightest and sharpest outdoor time
and temperature displays available.
-
Two
Alpha Eclipse 1500 signs can be connected together and synchronized.
-
An
optical sensor enables the LEDs to automatically dim at dusk and
automatically brighten at dawn. The user may specify the dimming
percentage.
-
The
display font is selectable.
-
The
user may specify the hold time for each display screen.
-
In
the event of a power loss, a backup battery in the Alpha Eclipse
1500 provides short-term power to retain the time, dimming percentage,
and hold time settings.
-
Super-bright,
daylight-visible LEDs provide over 100,000 hours of continuous operation,
significantly outlasting comparable incandescent lamps.
-
Alpha
Eclipse 1500 displays consume less than 1/40th the power of
incandescent Time and Temperature displays, providing significant
savings in electricity costs.
-
The
Alpha Eclipse 1500 has a weather-resistant enclosure.
-
Each
sign face is front-serviceable.
-
A
back-to-back model consists of two signs connected together by communications
wire.
-
The
Alpha Eclipse 1500 display is energy-efficient and easy to
operate, install and service.
-
A
limited five-year warranty is provided
Applications
Alpha
Eclipse 1500 Time and Temperature LED Display is designed for
industrial and commercial use.
The
Alpha Eclipse 1500 Time and Temperature LED Display is designed
for high-visibility, high-traffic applications.
The
Alpha Eclipse 1500 Time and Temperature LED Display is
the perfect attention-grabbing solution for businesses where message
centers are not permitted or where the cost of a message center is
prohibitive.
Attract
attention with an eye-catching Time and Temperature display to dramatically
increase your company sales and profits.
Programming
A
palm-sized Remote Control device (cabled) is used to set the time,
to specify the hold time for each screen, to set the dimming percentage,
and to specify which functions to display: 12- or 24-hour time, Fahrenheit
temperature, and/or Centigrade temperature. A computer is not required.
Installation
Each
Alpha Eclipse 1500 sign has two horizontal angle irons across
the back of the sign. One is even with the top and one is even with
the bottom. Provide a matching pair of angle irons on your wall, pole,
or monument, and installation is very simple.
If
the sign is mounted to a solid surface like a wall, nothing should
block the space between the top, bottom, and sides of the sign and
the solid surface.
If
there is an obstruction, as in a monument-style installation, then
run duct work (not supplied) from the bottom of each fan cover to
the side edge of the sign. Do not run duct work to the top of the
sign, since rain or other material could enter the sign. Do not run
the duct work to the bottom of the sign, since this could force exhaust
air back into the sign.
Electrical
Guidelines
-
Run
power wiring from a switched, fused power source.
-
Install
a two-pole disconnect device in the building wiring for each branch
circuit supplying the sign.
-
Run
separate conduits to the sign for power and communication connections.
-
Make
all electrical connections watertight.
-
Make
sure the sign is properly earth grounded. The sign's support structure
should not be used as ground.
-
Use
minimum 80°C copper wire only. Torque terminals to 7-10 inch/pounds.
The Alpha
Eclipse 1500 Time and Temperature Displays are available with
120V or 240V AC power.
The Alpha
Eclipse 1500 does not ship with a power cord.
Your electrician
must provide conduit, connectors and wiring to properly connect and
seal the electrical connections inside and outside the sign and the
junction box (not included).
Temperature
Protection
The Alpha
Eclipse 1500 will start and operate at temperatures from -40°
to 131°F (-40° to 55°C).
The sign
is protected from extreme temperatures by heaters and cooling fans.
These are activated by the internal temperature of the sign, not the
external temperature.
-
At
or below 4°C (40°F), an internal heater strip will automatically
turn on. Air warmed by the heater strip will be blown by a fan throughout
the enclosure. If the temperature rises to or above 16°C (60°F),
the internal heaters will turn off.
-
At
or above 29°C (158°F), a cooling fan will automatically turn on.
If he temperature drops to 19°C (67°F), then the cooling fans will
turn off. At or above 70°C (158°F), over-temperature dimming will
occur. The LED output of the sign will automatically be reduced
to 50% of its maximum output. If the temperature falls to 68°C (154°F)
then over-temperature dimming will stop.

Alpha Eclipse 1500 Time and Temp Features
- Multiple
Connectivity
Options – Two Alpha Eclipse 1500 units may be connected
together in a Master-Slave configuration. The twi signs must be within
25 feet of each other..
- Dimming
Feature – The brightness of the LEDs may be dimmed by a built-in
optical sensor. You may specify the percentage of brightness to be
dimmed. The dimming feature can be disabled, if necessary..
- Overheating
Protection - Automatic internal controls determine when the internal
temperature of the sign is too hot to continue normal operation. Ambient
external temperature and heat generated by the LEDs affect the internal
temperature. As the temperature inside the sign rises, cooling fans
are switched on. When the temperature falls below the cooling fan
threshold, the fans turn off. If the temperature continues to rise,
auto-dimming occurs, and the display goes into a reduced power mode,
dimming the brightness of the LEDs until the temperature falls below
the auto-dimming threshold level. For adequate ventilation, allow
at least 1 inch clearance all around the sign.

Switches - DIP switches located on the controller board inside
the sign can be used to set:

specific type of fastener required will vary depending on the physical
characteristics of the material (drywall, concrete, brick, wood, etc.).
Each of the fasteners that you use must be capable of supporting four
(4) times the weight of the sign. An overhead support, wall or counter
should also be capable of supporting four times the weight of the
sign.
