NOTIFIER Alpha-215 Indoor Display
General
The LEDArray Series Indoor Displays are LED message centers designed for light
industrial, commercial, and office use. They quickly display large amounts of
information in eight colors and three rainbow effects (red only versions are
also available). These message centers are among the brightest and sharpest
indoor displays available.
Messages are entered through a wireless, remote control key-board, as easy to
understand and use as an ordinary calculator. Exclusive three-step message
entry with Automode programming eliminates the need to learn complicated
programming procedures. Within seconds, the user can create exciting visual
messages that cannot be ignored. Ten preset mass notification messages are
provided.
In applications requiring multiple units to communicate important information,
Alpha displays can be networked and con-nected to a PC to form a powerful
integrated visual information system throughout your plant or business
facility. The Contact Interface Panel can be used for Fire Alarm or Manual
type acti-vation.
