10.3 Photocells
CAUTION
Dust and grime accumulation can obstruct the correct functioning
of external photocells.
Photocells detect the ambient light conditions and the brightness of the sign display
adjusts in consequence.
External photocells are located on the junction box underneath the solar panels or on
the left outside side wall of the sign case.
10.4 Radar Device
A speed radar device is attached directly to the underside of the sign case.
10.5 Sign Display
Before putting your PCMS into operation, it can be a good idea to run a pixel text and
verify that all display cards for the signboard are functioning.
Accessing the pixel test varies, depending on the software that controls the signboard.
