General information

You can operate a BetaBrite® sign in two ways:
• by using a hand-held Remote Control
• by using a single computer with special software (See “Appendix C — Connecting the sign to a computer” on page 39.)

Remote Control Programming Manual
To program a sign with a Remote Control:
• Stand at least 5 feet and no more than 30 feet from the sign.
• Make sure nothing reflective is in front of the sign. (Light from the sign’s display that is reflected back can interfere with the Remote Control.)
• If nearby fluorescent lights interfere with the Remote Control, you may have to relocate either the lights or the sign.

Basic sign operation

Turning a sign on and off

When you plug in the sign’s power supply, the sign starts up
automatically, and unplugging the power supply turns the sign off.
However, instead of unplugging a sign, there is another way to turn a
sign off:
Holding down
SHIFT and then pressing PROGRAM turns a sign off and on.
NOTE: Messages that you have programmed into the sign will not be
lost when you turn a sign off. Messages will be retained for up to 30 days
if the sign is not powered.
When a sign starts up, the following will be displayed:

In Example 2, you set the order of messages by file name. However, that method could not specify an exact appear.
In this example, we’ll show you how to make a message appear and disappear at times you specify.
NOTE: Unless a sign has a battery-backed clock, displaying
messages in time order will only work so long as a sign is powered. When a sign without a battery-backed clock loses power, its internal clock becomes inaccurate and must be reset (see “Setting a sign’s time and date” on page 4).
Step When you do this... You see this...
For this example, make sure that your sign’s internal clock has been accurately set.
(See “Setting a sign’s time and date” on page 4.)

Example 7 — Using fonts and colors

Fonts
Fonts are the way characters are displayed on a sign. In the world of printing and publishing, fonts are given names like Times or Helvetica and qualities like serif or sans serif, font size (like 12 point or 14 point), bold or italic, etc.:
This is Times — a serif font.
This is Helvetica — a sans serif font.
On this sign, the following fonts — called [SS7], [SS5], and [SRF] — are available:
Sans serif
fonts
(SS7 is what
you normally
see on a sign.)
Serif font
This is SS7
THIS IS SS5
This is SRF
Upper and lowercase letters can be used with this font.
Only upper letters can be used with this font.
Upper and lowercase letters can be used with this font.
Also, any of the sign’s fonts can be made bold (or wider) by using the
WIDTH button.
To determine what fonts are available on your sign, see “Appendix A — Modes, fonts, and colors available” on page 36.
Colors
Your sign can display up to eight colors — [GRN] for green, [RED] for red, etc. — plus four special color combinations.
To determine what colors are available on your sign, see “Appendix A — Modes, fonts, and colors available” on page 36.
The following examples demonstrate how to use fonts and colors on your sign:

Graphics

In addition to pre-programmed or “canned” graphics (see “Sign graphics” on page 43), you can create your own custom graphics using DOTS files.
You can display a DOTS graphic that you create either by itself or with text.
NOTE: After you create a DOTS graphic, to display it on your sign, the
DOTS graphic must be placed in a text file—even if you just want to display the graphic all by itself.

Example 11 — Creating a movie marquee

Step When you do this... You see this...
In this example, we’ll create three graphics (or DOTS files)
and combine them with text to make a flashing marquee:
First you’ll create these three graphics files (called DOTS files A, B, C).
Then this text will be added after the three graphic files.

Remote Control Programming Manual

Appendix D — Updating the sign’s firmware (EPROM)

Your sign has an internal chip or EPROM that is used to control the sign. From time to time, the firmware in this EPROM is updated and the EPROM must be changed.
NOTE: Internal components may be damaged by “static electricity”,
or electrostatic discharge. Follow these guidelines to prevent weakening of circuits that may not be immediately evident:
• Discharge any static charge you may have built up before handling static-sensitive devices. Touch something metal before putting your hand on sensitive components.
• Put on a grounded, anti-static wristband or heel strap.
• Until you’re ready to handle them, keep static-sensitive parts in
an anti-static container.
• Do NOT touch EPROM leads. If they become bent, use a tool to straighten them.
• Do your work on a static-free surface and always use grounded soldering, test and assembly tools.
• For more information, refer to Adaptive Tech Memo 00-0005, “Guidelines for Controlling Electrostatic Discharge Damage”, available at http://www.adaptivedisplays.com.
1. After removing power from the sign, slip off the access panel on the back of the sign:
NOTE: Remove power from the sign before you begin.
2. Using the top and bottom tabs on the EPROM socket, gently pull the EPROM out of the sign. Then place the new EPROM in the empty socket and replace the access cover:
