Overview
Alpha Eclipse 2500 signs are outdoor, full matrix, single-color
LED displays with daylight-visible characters and a weather-resistant
enclosure. Various Alpha Eclipse 2500 models can display from
one to thirteen lines of text, graphics, and animations; and they
can be networked together with other Alpha Eclipse, Alpha,
AlphaPremiere, and AlphaVision displays using RS485
or Ethernet connectivity.
Alpha
Eclipse 2500 Series signs are versatile outdoor LED message centers
designed for industrial and commercial use. The Alpha Eclipse 2500
is one of the brightest and sharpest outdoor displays available.
Messages
are enhanced by 24 built-in display modes; 7 text sizes; serif and
san-serif fonts; fixed and proportional spacing; nine built-in animations;
user-designed graphics and animations display; day, date and time
of day display; temperature display; five automatic day, hour, and
minute counters; special symbols and international characters; and
many other special features.
Messages
may be entered using a computer and special messaging software. Information
from customer files (SQL, ODBC, Excel, DDE, etc.) can be displayed
automatically. Automode programming features eliminate the need to
learn complicated programming procedures. Within seconds, anyone can
create attractive visual messages with attention-getting impact.
Built-in
