HOW TO DESIGN A SIGN SYSTEM USING ALDOR COMPONENTS, 1 to 6 points
3 OR 4 POINTS:
ALDOR sells a line of VF flasher modules, 3 or 4 point, 12VAC, 24/28VAC, or 120VAC at 10 amps per point.
ANY PATTERN OPTION AVAILABLE!
MORE BRAINS:
ALDOR also sells a "3/4 Smart Flasher" that operates off of a small microcontroller
and uses a UL approved DC power source. This flasher has a DIP switch on the
PC board where you can set your pattern option. It has fuses on board and the
triacs unplug for easy service.
The unit will control up to 10 amps per point and can be set for 3 or 4 point
operation.
UP TO SIX POINTS:
The most versatile flasher application is accomplished by using a 6 Point Controller board
and a Lamp Driver board (also called a Triac Board). The 6 Point Controller board can be
programmed to turn on the Triac Board with any kind of pattern the customer desires.
The controller can be programmed with special patterns that change at random or at
set intervals or are changed by some kind of remote input.
