Programming Colour &
Illumination Modes
SignalLED signs bought after 1st December
2010 are programmed using a separate
handheld remote control, instead of being
programmed using DIPSwitches on the sign.
Please note that the remote control must
be ordered separately, LD-RPC. Please
contact your Sonifex distributor for ordering
information.
Although the SignalLED is delivered as standard to indicate a certain colour
when a pull-low (to 0V) input signal is applied, the sign is programmable
to allow a number of different display modes and uses. For example, the
sign can be made to switch between 4 colours, one for each of the input
conditions below. The sign can also illuminate a certain colour when no
input signal is connected, i.e. it can be permanently illuminating, or it can
be made to switch from one colour to another on application of an input
signal.
Setting The Colour & Display Mode(s) of The Sign
The sign can be set to illuminate in 4 different states according to the
combination of the 2 x pull-low signalling inputs present at the input
connector block:
• Connect pin 1 to 0V to select input 1.
• Connect pin 4 to 0V to select input 2.
For each of the 4 states, the following features can be adjusted and set:
• Divide Point – This allows you divide the sign into two separate sections,
to set the size of each section and to set the size of a ‘dead area’ in
between the two sections, if required.
• Colour of each section.
• Brightness of overall sign illumination.
• Mode of sign operation, selectable from on, off, flash, pulse and fade.
Enter Programming Mode
To enter programming mode, open the Access Door (See Fig 2-5) which
exposes the infra-red receiver. Then point the remote control unit at the
opening and press & hold the PROGRAM (7) button for 3 seconds until the
LEDs in the main sign quickly cascade away & to the opening. This indicates
that the unit is in the Programming Mode.
To exit the Programming Mode, press & hold the PROGRAM (7) button
until the LEDs cascade away & to the receiver again.
During programming the input state being programmed is reflected in the 2
LEDs positioned in the opening:
