Sign-Control

DIN Rail mount lighting controller

Sign-Control™ is aimed at the LED signage industry and is suitable for controlling LED display applications. The product is available in a DIN Rail case that can also be surface mounted.

Sign-Control is a DMX512 playback system, controlled by 14 buttons. Features include 3 pages of 8 memories. Each memory contains all 512 channels and an Independent Fade Time. A fourth page provides 6 sequences with variable step times and direction control giving the user total flexibility.

With additional triggers, Sign-Control can be controlled by a variety of events; such an integral Real Time Clock (RTC), RS232 and external contacts. This allows Sign-Control to integrate into larger systems with BMS (Building Management System) interfaces.

Up to 15 Sign-Control panels can be connected to a single DMX512 cable. Each panel can be programmed to control a specific zone or group of DMX Channels. This allows Sign-Control to be used in multi-room or multi-zone applications. Artistic Licence Light-Switch can also be used as remote panels.

The entire system is programmed by a PC application: Sign-Edit. Once programmed, the show is downloaded and programmed to flash memory. Sign-Edit contains a moving lamp library and fully implements both post and pre-master channels. This feature allows all types of DMX devices to be freely mixed. Sign-Control can also be programmed by recording DMX512 from a lighting console.

Sign-Control requires a 9 to 48V DC PSU (not included). PSU-9-1.5-FER

As with all Artistic Licence products, and in line with our policy to ensure our products are accessible to all, full technical support and training can be offered to customers who are unfamiliar with signage applications.
