| |
| Basic Electronics |
Modular plug-in boards allow for easy field service and maintenance and provides optional plug in features. |
| |
| Charge Controller |
Controls charging of batteries from the solar panels to prevent overcharging and over-discharging. Includes thermal compensation to control the charge from the solar panels based on ambient temperature. Promotes prolong battery life. |
| |
| Ease of Computer Programming |
User friendly components designed by Precision Solar Controls reduce the number of steps required for programming. The keyboard provides specific keys for common functions and the program provides automatic centering of your custom messages. Remote programming allows for even greater flexibility. |
| |
| Folding Display Rack |
Display rack designed to be lowered for storage and travel and to be raised when operational. Provides easy access to change fixed speed signs. Reduces wind resistance in travel mode. |
| |
| Full Matrix Design |
The arrangement of pixels in a display that creates a continuous image. The pixels can be controlled to create various sizes of alphanumeric fonts and can display graphic images. |
| |
| Heavy Duty Trailer |
Trailers built to withstand rigorous use. Manufactured with thick wall steel tubing to improve stiffness and torsional rigidity. |
| |
| Industrial Leveling Jacks |
Manually operated heavy-duty jacks at each corner of the trailer used to level the trailer for optimum viewing. The jacks are designed to swivel up for extra ground clearance in travel mode. |
| |
| Large 18" or 20" Characters |
Motorist speed is displayed clearly and is legible up to 1100 feet away in both daylight and nighttime conditions. |
| |
| LED Lamp Matrix Design |
An array of pixels comprised of L.E.D.'s and lens elements whereby the L.E.D. light output is captured, focused and distributed by a multifaceted lens designed to meet or exceed distance and viewing angle requirements. |
| |
| Lockable Utility Compartments |
Provides ample secured storage for additional signs, equipment and accessories. |
| |
| Minimal Maintenance |
The modular electric system was developed for easy replacement of components with reduced down time and cost. |
| |
| Modular Electronic Components |
The entire system was developed with the operator in mind. Modules are easily replaced, dramatically reducing downtime and maintenance costs. |
| |
| Pre-programmed Text and Graphics |
The SMC-2000 comes with 250 text messages and 50 graphic symbols in the system's computer, minimizing set-up time and increasing ease of operation. Additionally, the unit has the capacity to include 250 custom messages of your own. |
| |
| Simple Installation |
The compact, self contained unit comes with solid structural steel mounting angles for immediate installation on standard traffic poles. Alternative mounting options are available. All you have to do is hook up the power and the unit is read to go. |
| |
| Solar Assist Power |
The SMC-2000 is powered by deep cycle batteries that are recharged by four, 75-watt solar panels. This design allows you to operate the SMC-2000 for 30 days without sunlight. You can recharge the batteries with only 2.5 hours of sunlight for a full day . No Pollution, no noise, no fuel costs, no exhaust emissions, no engine maintenance, no pavement damage. |
