for the Personal Priority Display, Big Dot®, and Series 200, 300, 4000, and 7000 signs
Introduction
These instructions show how to change the serial address and how to mount the following ALPHA series signs: Personal Priority
Display (PPD), Big Dot, Series 200, Series 300, Series 4000, and Series 7000.
Changing the serial address
An ALPHA sign’s serial address is a number from 0 to 255 in hexadecimal (00 to FF). An ALPHA SA sign’s serial address is a number
from 000 to 255 in decimal (000 to 255.) The address is used to identify the sign in a network of signs. All signs leave the factory with a default
address of 0 or 000.
