Dimming
The dimming level of the Rate display can be adjusted in two ways. A light sensor, mounted
on each driver, can detect the level of ambient light at the display location and dim the sign's
LEDs accordingly. This function is known as automatic dimming. When the manual
dimming function is selected, the LEDs remain at the same level of brightness regardless of
the level of light detected at the display.
To select either of these functions, press
[Dimming]
. The current setting is shown on the
bottom line of the LCD.
