ALLMAND ECLIPSE 2220/SE SERIES SOLAR ASSIST ARROWBOARD
DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
The ALLMAND ECLIPSE 2220/SE SERIES solar assist arrowboard uses two, three or four
12V DC 8D deep cycle batteries, providing a nominal 12V DC to the operating system. The
battery enclosure is lockable, ventilated and designed to protect the batteries from theft or
vandalism. The location of the enclosure allows for easy maintenance or replacement of the
battery bank. An electronic control system protects the batteries from overcharging and gas-
sing. The Low Voltage Disconnect (LVD) system protects the battery from excessive dis-
charge which can result in premature battery failure.
Solar charging is accomplished by a 50w, 75w, or 100w class 12V DC single crystalline
photovoltaic array located above the sign panel. This provides maximum exposure of the array
to the sun. The array location minimizes vandalism or theft. The array constantly charges the
batteries when exposed to the sun. An optional
ALLMAND ECLIPSE battery charger, specifi-
cally designed for this unit, allows the batteries to be recharged using standard 115V AC line
current.
The ALLMAND ECLIPSE 2220/SE SERIES features the Allmand Eclipse LED Lamp con-
sisting of individual ORANGE/AMBER LEDs per lamp. Each LED is situated on a printed
circuit board behind an individual Fresnel lens element. If an individual LED burns out, the
entire lamp does not go out. This results in greater safety as the sign will still show a complete
display even if several individual LEDs in a number of lamps are not functioning. The LED
lamp easily interchanges with halogen lamps, allowing older halogen equipped boards to be
re-fitted with LED lamps. It is not recommended, however, that LED and halogen lamps be
mixed in the same board.
The LED lamp has approximately 1/5 of the power requirement of the ALLMAND halogen
lamp, resulting in much longer run time between recharges. With the LED lamp, the display is
more defined, resulting in greater legibility distances (greater than one mile,
which exceeds
MUTCD requirements). The ALLMAND LED lamp carries a 5-year limited warranty from the
manufacturer against defects in materials and workmanship.
Also available is our proven modular PAR-46 high visibility/high efficiency halogen lamp. The
lamp life is over three times that of a standard 4412-A lamp . The lamp housing/reflector and
Lexan lens provide an extremely durable and damage-resistant assembly. This lamp assembly
easily
meets or exceeds the MUTCD (Section 6E-9) one mile visibility specification.
The ALLMAND ECLIPSE 2220/SE SERIES CONTROLLER is mounted directly on the sign
panel to minimize electrical connections and exposed wiring. This feature, along with the
lockable cover, also makes malicious mischief or vandalism less likely. This unit is a high-
reliability solid state component featuring state of the art electronics and engineering. Lamp
dimming during night time hours is accomplished via the
ALLMAND ECLIPSE SUNTRAK
system which automatically varies the lamp intensity relative to ambient light levels.
