Removal of Parts from Existing Sign Preparation of Sign 4. Removal of Parts from Existing Sign 4.0. If the Electronic Price Display is not going to be retrofitted into an existing sign, skip to step 5. 4.1. If the Electronic Price Display has already been mounted to a retrofit face with frame from the factory, removal of the existing face and frame is required. Remove all the screws in the existing face frame including the screws attaching the hinge and remove the face from the sign. Important: For ease of servicing the existing hinge needs to remain or new replacement hinges will need added or the sign must be constructed such that it can be safely and easily serviced by one technician. Failure to comply will void warranty. 4.2 If the Electronic Price Display is to be mounted to an existing face. Removal of existing scrollers, older led price change unit(s) or any other obstacle preventing the installation will need to be removed. 5. Preparation of Sign 5.0. The Electronic Price Display is intended for damp or dry location installation. Repair and seal any unused openings in the sign (missing lifiting lugs etc.) Openings greater than 1/2" diameter require a metal patch secured by screws or rivets and caulked with non-hardening caulk. Smaller openings may be sealed with non-hardening caulk. 5.1. If the sign face is hinged foam tape is required on the top portion of the face frame between the sign cabinent and face frame. apply 1/2" closed foam tape to top edge and down the sides of face frame leaving no gaps for water entry 5.2. If the sign face is not hinged foam tape is required on the top portion of the face frame between the sign cabinent and face frame. Note: One side of the sign must be hinged for servicing. foam gasket Page 3
Priceline Installation 6. Priceline Installation 6.0. On the back of each Priceline located on the Priceline Control Card (PCC) the Priceline will be labeled with an alpha character followed by a number. The labeling reflects the PCC jumper settings. There are two types of Priceline Control Cards depending on the digit style. One is a Seven Segment the other is a Multisegment. Seven Segment Priceline Control Card, Part No.: 7S-PCC01 Jumpers set to A1 Multi Segment Priceline Control Card, Part No.: MS-PCC01 Jumpers set to A1 The alpha character depicts the grade of fuel, and the number the sign side. Priceline's are installed with the A1 Priceline as the top grade (typically Regular) followed by B1, C1, D1 and so on as required. The top Priceline on the opposite side of the sign will start with A2 followed by B2, C2, D2 and so on. When planning the installation of the Priceline make sure to locate the A1 Priceline on the side of the sign that faces closest the store. Note: This is an example the actual sign configuration may vary. Regular Premium Priceline A1 Priceline B1 Diesel Priceline C1 Other side of sign Top A2, B2, C2 Bottom Page 4
Priceline Installation 6.0. Priceline displays can be installed directly to the sign face using KT1003-001 fastener kit, with angles fastened to the face frame or to the sign cabinent as shown here. indention in metal Installed Directly to the Sign Face Center the Priceline in the viewing window. Using a 3/16" drill bit drill all the mounting locations on the priceline pre-marked with a + indented in the metal. Regular Premium Diesel Part no.

Communications Cabling 7. Communications Cabling 7.0. There are two communications ports on the Master (MCC). Run the communication cable (ethernet cable) from one of the Masters communications ports to the Priceline Control Card communications port on Priceline A1 then from A1 to B1 and so on. Run cabling from the Masters other communications port to the Priceline Control Card communications port on Priceline A2 then from A2 to B2 and so on. Note: 1. This is an example the actual sign configuration may vary. 2. This example shows the Multisegment Priceline Control Card (PCC). The Seven Segment PCC has the same communications ports located in the same position on the right side of the printed circuit board. 3. This example showing the Master Control Card 2 (MCC2). The Master Control Card 1 has the same communications ports located in the same position on the right side of the printed circuit board.

Power Supply Installation 8. Power Supply Installation 8.0. Pricelines are to be powered using UL recognized class 2 power supplies. Red and Amber pricelines are powered with 15VDC power supplies Green and White pricelines are powered with 19VDC power supplies. * 30" Pricelines requires 2 class 2 outputs from a power supply * 42" Pricelines requires 4 class 2 outputs from a power supply Digit Height 6" 8" 12" 16" 18" 24" Max Amperage Red / Amber Green @ 15VDC @ 19VDC 2.2 1.4 2.2 1.4 2.7 1.9 3.5 3.8 5.0 2.1 2.7 3.6 * 30" 4.2 2.9 ** 42" 3.6 1.9 8.1. Install the power supplies on the bottom of the sign no closer than 2" from the sides. Plan your installation to insure the wires will reach the Priceline its intended to power. Run the wires up along the side and to the top of the sign and fasten in place using the plastic retainers, screws and wire ties provided in the Priceline Installation Kit. Using a 1/8"drill bit, drill a hole through an interior flange or cover. Do not drill through the exterior of the sign. Remove the tape from the back of the retainer, position the retainer over the hole and secure with a 3/8" self threading screw.
