The temperature may be adjusted with the built-in temperature offset feature for improved temperature accuracy. The temperature is accurate to within ± 1°.
• 5 Counters – The Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display will automatically count up or down in any increment, updating every minute, hour, or day. Up to five different counters may be active in your messages at the same time. Counting may begin at any value between 0 and 99999999. Messages can display the number of days, minutes, or hours until a special event; the number of days or hours since a lost-time accident; or a numeric value that increments or decrements by the same amount every minute, hour, or day. Settings permit the counter to restart automatically after counting to zero.
• Target Messages – Upon reaching specified Counter "target" values, specific target messages can be displayed automatically. For example, a message might display "10 DAYS WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT!" and on the next day automatically display "11 DAYS WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT!" followed by the target message: "A NEW RECORD... CONGRATULATIONS!"
• Timeout Message - The Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display user may specify a timeout period and a timeout message that plays when the timeout period has expired. If no message is received during the timeout period, the timeout message can be displayed automatically.

  • Alpha Eclipse 3500-B Installation Manual – This manual describes the Alpha Eclipse 3500 setup and provides internal connection schematics for each connectivity option.
• RS485 Echo Feature - This special feature allows the use of multiple Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display master and slave displays and RS485 communications without using an RS232 to RS485 Converter Box. The first Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display display is attached to the messaging PC with an Alpha RS232 Serial Cable or an Ethernet cable. The Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display converts the RS232 or Ethernet data signal to an RS485 data signal and transmits the RS485 signal out via the RS485 connector. Additional Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display displays can be attached to the first display using RS485 connectivity items (RS485 Modular Cables, RS485 Network Adapters, and RS485 Network Cable).
• Address Each Display – Each Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display can be given a unique address, so that messages and data may sent by computer or control devices to different displays on the same cable, wireless channel, modem phone number or TCP/IP address. 255 addresses are available, and the Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display address may be set or changed easily with the remote control keyboard or using a computer and special software. The Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display enclosure does not have to be opened.
• Message Verification and Error Checking – Built-in checksum features ensure that messages are received accurately when a computer or control equipment sends messages or data to the Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display by cable.
• Priority Message – The Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display has a 125-byte Priority message file that can be activated by special programming. When the Priority message file is activated, all other message files that are currently running stop being displayed. When the Priority message is terminated, the other messages resume displaying.
• Dimming Feature – The brightness of the Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display LEDs may be dimmed by a built-in optical sensor or by specifying the time that dimming and undimming are to occur and the percentage of brightness to be dimmed.
• Overheating Protection - Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display 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.
• Internal DIP Switches - The following Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display features can be set with DIP switches located on the controller board inside the sign.
  • End of Line Termination
  • Baud Rate
  • RS485 Echo
  • Demonstration Messages
  • Memory Clear

  • 2400 Baud
  • 4800 Baud
  • 9600 Baud
  • 19200 Baud
  • 38400 Baud
  • Autobaud
• Non-Blinking String File Updates – The Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display supports "String Files" and real-time updating of String Files without blinking the messages displayed on the sign. String files are memory areas set aside in sign memory by special programming. One use of String Files is to store changing data being updated by an external device or computer. For example, the Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display could be programmed to display five (or more) ACD statistics fields for each of ten (or more) ACD queues. As the real time values change for each of the 50 variables (5 x 10), the updated values can be transmitted into the Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display instantly, without causing the Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display to blink and without affecting the information currently being displayed. String Files can also be used to save sign memory. For example, if the same data is displayed multiple times within a message, the data can be stored once in a String File and recalled from its String File location each time it is needed.
• Nested Commands – For programmers writing control sequences using native sign communication protocol, multiple commands can be repeated or "nested" within a transmission frame.
• Clear Memory Easily – When debugging and testing software and messages features, diagnostic control sequences may be entered to to clear the memory of the sign quickly and conveniently, without opening the Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display enclosure or taking it down from where it is mounted. Clearing memory removes all messages, graphic files and the password that have been programmed into the Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display.
• Supports Wireless Applications – The Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display protocol supports POCSAG or pager transmission format. It can be programmed for wireless applications.
• Wireless News and Sports Service – The Alpha Eclipse 3500 LED Display can be equipped with a wireless broadcast receiver that will display the latest news headlines, financial market summaries, sports information and scores, in addition to your own messages. The receiver and news service are extra charge options.
