Call 1-800-223-4636 to order a new or replacement
Alpha cable remote keyboard for your Alpha electronic
sign.
There
are two versions of the cable remote keyboard. One is shown in the photo
above. The other looks similar, but is marked Alpha 2100 at the top.
The
two keyboards are interchangeable; though a few of the buttons invoke
different functions on their respective signs.
The
keyboard is used to program text and message sequences. On some signs,
the remote control keyboard can perform utility functions, such as clearing
memory and setting a sign's time.
Alpha
Cable Remote Keyboard
The
Alpha 2100 Cable Remote Keyboard is used on the Alpha 210
and 221 models. The Alpha Cable Remote Keyboard
shown above is used on the Alpha 430, 440, 460,
480, 710, 715, and 790i models. Both Alpha
Cable Remote Keyboards have a 12-foot long, 14-conductor ribbon
cable that attaches to the sign.
You
may download various manuals for signs that use the Alpha Cable Remote
Keyboard. Find the manuals for your sign below under Manuals.
Older
Alpha signs can also be programmed using software. See Programming
Alpha Signs With Software below.
Older
Alpha signs that used the Alpha Cable Remote Keyboard
provide outstanding performance with or without the keyboard. Many of
the earliest Alpha signs are still operating flawlessly today
after more than twenty years of operation. Alpha signs have very
bright, easy-to-read LEDs, and your Alpha sign should continue
to serve you well for years to come, unless you lose the power supply,
or the sign fails.
Certain
power supplies and some of the repair components for older Alpha
signs are no longer available, but if your sign needs repair, please
contact us, and we'll let you know if we can fix your sign.
Programming
Alpha Signs With Software
You
can use AlphaNet software and RS485
connectivity items to program your Alpha sign by computer.
Using
AlphaNet software to program your sign is a much better programming
solution than using either the cable remote keyboard. Editing messages
on a computer screen is MUCH easier than editing messages on the screen
of the sign and in sign memory.
Older
Alpha sign models can use either RS485 connectivity items or
Ethernet connectivity items. Click here
for additional information.
Modified
Firmware
Some
Alpha signs have modified firmware, so they can be used in special
applications, such as News Ticker, Stock Ticker, Sports Ticker, or Lottery
displays, or as ACD readerboards for specific phone systems. Alpha
signs with modified firmware often will not work with an Alpha
programming keyboard or with Alpha software.
You may be able to order a replacement firmware chip by calling 1-800-223-4636.
