PROGRAMMING STANDARD FUNCTIONS
Insert the on/off key into the side mounted switch on side of the trailer.
Note:
The power key is removable in both the “on” and “off” positions.
After finishing all programming make sure to remove it and keep it secured
for future use.
The display is programmed using either the remote, or the small
programming push button located underneath the display at one bottom
corner (blue arrow Figure 6).
When turned on, the display will show a number between Zero and 9 which indicates the ambient light level.
The display will continuously adjust brightness of the LED display according to the surrounding light level.
Note:
The brightness control is always on automatic but it can be checked for proper operation by the user, if
needed. To check this, refer to codes 1003 and 1004 in Advanced Features.
KEY CHAIN REMOTE CONTROL
Your unit may have come equipped with a key-chain size remote control (photo). It can be
used in place of the sign-mounted pushbutton as shown above.
The bottom left button directs the numbers up with the bottom right directing down.
When the sign is in run mode, holding both buttons in for 1 second resets the sign
without having to cycle the power key, To replace its battery, replace with a type CR2032,
12volt alkaline cell.
THE SPEED CODES AND THEIR MEANINGS:
Read over the following programming codes listed in the Speed Code Table below to become familiar with
the two-letter groups (modes) you want to set in the sign using the push button. Concentrate on the “Normal
Mode” (NM) and “Violator Alerts” (VA) modes only, for now. Notice that they are grouped so that for example,
when “VA” is selected, you can set the “Minimum Speed”, Flash (speed), Blank (speed), etc. As the last numbers
are entered, the display is ready and goes blank.
