Your Spectrum sales representative can help you choose the proper communication method for your sign. Fiber Optec Modem Communication Fiber Optec Modem Fiber Optec Cable 1000 Maximum Distance LED DISPLAY RGB Full Color/Greyscale 256 Options Broadband Internet: DSL/Cable internet connection used for Controller Fiber Optec Modem remote communications to mid- to high-bandwidth displays. Static or dynamic IP Addressable. Fiber Optic: Hard-wired multi-mode or single-mode fiber optic cable for communications over 300 feet or in areas where high EMF interference is encountered. Maximum distance is 2.5 miles. Telephone Modem Communication Modem Controller Dedicated Telephone Line LED DISPLAY * * 56k Modem Ethernet: Ethernet to communication displays on a LAN or WAN network less than 300 feet away. Additional Ethernet serial server is not required. Wireless Ethernet: Ethernet to communications displays on a LAN or WAN network. Instead of using cables, it sends Ethernet Data over Wireless Bridge devices. Requires clear line of sight. Maximum tested distance is 0.5 miles. H003-3RGB-0307
Distance Distance, Size and Speed The distance between your sign and its viewers is the number one factor in determining the type of LED display to consider. For example, if your sign will come into the view of traffic at a distance of 300 feet, you should have a sign that can be programmed to display 6-inch or larger characters. The rule of thumb for LED signs is 1-inch of character height for every 50 feet of viewing distance. Viewing time is dependent on obstructions, traffic speed, character size and character style. Viewing Angles LEDs can output a narrow beam of light like a spotlight, or a wide array like a floodlight. Spectrum Horizon signs utilize a high density design of wide-angle LEDs to simultaneously insure both brightness and wide-angle viewing as shown on the diagram below. 10 Height at 500 feet Viewing Distance (feet) 5 Height at 250 feet 2 Height at 100 feet Distance, Size and Speed Chart Minimum Text Height (inch) Viewing Time @ 30mph (seconds) 200 4 4.5 250 5 6.0 300 6 7.5 400 8 9.5 500 10 12.0 600 12 15.0 900 18 22.5 1200 24 30.0 1800 36 46.0 NOTE: All data is approximate.

Construction Horizon Marquee Identification Sign Features The face of the sign is constructed of a UV resistant Pan Style Polycarbonate material which increases the durability of the sign. Vinyl Graphics are then applied inside the face or second surface, protecting them from vandalism, airborne elements yellowing, fading, or peeling. Letters, logos or mascots can be embossed to give your sign a 3-dimensional look. This enhancement makes the sign easier to read from wide viewing angles, especially when illuminated at night. Service Horizon signs are designed for easy access. The fully front serviceable feature makes them easy to service and repair, saving in costly service charges. Highly desirable formed and embossed faces are stronger than flat faces. Pan Style Polycarbonate face strengthens the sign, while embossing the letters not only enhances it, but offers a wider viewing angle. Photo Cell H010O0407 - O Two-sided Horizons reach audiences from both directions.
Construction Smart Pixel Technology Smart Pixel LED Technology offers the widest viewing angle and best heat ventilation in the world. Each pixel has its own lamp louver which provides highly focused LED light output for superior color contrast, brightness and maximum horizontal viewing angle. Inside each pixel is an individual circuit controlling each LED Easy to service, each pixel is Hot Swappable saving customers costly repairs. lamp. Together with the controller system, the brightness and color shading can be controlled for each LED lamp level verses competitors individual pixel shading. And, because we are able to control or turn off individual LED lamps when not in use, we end up with a better color mix, contrast, higher virtual resolution and longer LED life. Smart Pixel LED Technology with individual louvers over each LED lamp provides maximum brightness and contrast. Features: Individual louver over each LED lamp Individually removable and serviceable pixels High brightness and contrast Optimum reliability with no heat accumulation Easy to service; individual pixels are hot swappable Cabinet design offers: Front service panel design Water proofing and heat ventilating Withstand high winds Choice of: Vented cabinet with thermostatically controlled fail-safe cooling system Fully enclosed, no outside air exchanging sealed cabinets H010O0407 - O
