Figure 1: DF-2009
DataMaster displays use light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) to illuminate their numeric digits. LEDs are
high-intensity, low-energy lighting units that use a
semiconductor to transform electrical current into
light. All DataMaster displays may be configured
with red, amber, or green LEDs. Because of their LED
technology, the displays consume little power, some
barely more than a household lamp.
Figure 2: DF-2109 with Top Caption
The DF-2009 and DF-2109 displays are two models of

The Cash/Credit caption allows for the setting of a
fuel price for each option, one for cash and a different
one for credit. These prices and their associated
captions will alternate showing on the display. This
option can only be set using the DM-100 controller.
The DataMaster outdoor LED displays have been
designed for use with a variety of controllers. These
include a DataMaster
™
100 hand-held controller, a radio controlled RC-100 system, or the
RC-50 mini remote control.
