Signage Systems

BLB = LED backlit signage system

Durapanel = non-illuminated aluminum panel system with 1 ¼” beveled frame with .050 message panel

LED Light Engine = 3.5” diameter LED source with medium base socket

TC = neon backlit signage system

TCI = Incandescent illuminated traffic/indicator signal

TCIL = LED illuminated traffic/indicator signal

TCL = Direct View LED signage system

TCU = incandescent backlit signage system

550 = 5.5” deep extruded aluminum sign cabinet.

SI = Status Indicator- LED signage system. Generally in the 5.5” deep 550 extrusion. Face panel is 1/8” aluminum with routed windows, which display LED circuit Boards, such as OPEN/FULL/CLOSED

I-Bar = plastic extruded clearance bar

HED-100 = “Post and Panel System- 2 ¼” Beveled aluminum frame with .080 aluminum face panel with 2 ¼” x 3” extruded aluminum mounting posts

TCLF = Large Format LED signage system using LED Clusters. Clusters are generally 1”dia. Containing 12 individual LEDs

Non-Illuminated Wall Mount System = The Durapanel is a non-illuminated wall mount signage system for exterior site identification and directional information applications, such as CLEARANCE signs and DO NOT ENTER signs

Neon Illumination = TC units are maintenance free, easy-to-read traffic controllers/neon signs that feature grid neon tubing, an unbreakable Lexan® message panel and a specially designed louvered sunscreen. The grid neon tubing provides consistent illumination, is energy conserving, and is available in green, yellow, red, blue and white.

LED = The LED units are low voltage units making it very cost effective by reducing power consumption. LEDs also provide exceptional life characteristics with an estimated 100,000 hours of continuous use.The LEDs used in these units have a wide viewing angle unlike traditional LED and fiber optics units allowing approaching traffic to see its illuminated status from any angle. The components are housed in a 2.5" wide extruded aluminum cabinet with hinged back panel and duranodic bronze finish.

Incandescent Illumination Indicator Lights = The 7" x 14" TCI unit is injection molded of impact resistant Lexan® polycarbonate, making it extremely durable, corrosion resistant, light weight, and maintenance free. The standard unit includes 2 long life incandescent traffic bulbs and features 5-1/2" (diameter) red and green Lexan® Fresnel lenses specifically designed to provide even illumination. Optional amber or blue lenses are also available

Incandescent Illumination Verbiage = TCU units feature long life incandescent traffic bulbs, an unbreakable Lexan® message panel, and a specially designed louvered sunscreen. The incandescent traffic bulbs screw into heavy duty porcelain sockets and are installed in specially designed reflective aluminum raceways for maximum illumination.

 

Terms used
Blank out = phantom message. Message disappears when non-illuminated.
Superimposed = when two or more messages are laid over top of each other in the same space.
Visual Opening = area of the sign cabinet that messages are fully illuminated or vinyl can be applied
Status Indicator = LED signage system. Generally in the 5.5” deep 550 extrusion. Face panel is 1/8” aluminum with routed windows, which display LED circuit Boards, such as OPEN/FULL/CLOSED
Custom LED Messages = LED messages that are not normally stocked. Custom boards have longer lead times.
Hybrid = Signage system consisting of both TC= Neon and TCL= LED components.
LED = Light Emitting Diode
Protective Face = 1/8” impact resistant polycarbonate generally in a smoke tint or clear.
Power Supply = Integrated circuit board with transformer and components
Transformer = device for converting variations of current in one circuit into variations of voltage and current in another circuit
UL/CUL = Underwriters laboratories Approved US and Canada
Photo-Dimming = device that lowers the light output to a LED message for night time viewing and energy savings
VAC = volts alternating current
Cluster = 1” dia. X 1 ½” sealed enclosure containing 12 individual LEDs
Direct View LED = Light Emitting Diodes are visually seen and arrayed to depict a message
