for BrightSigns with Legacy DB15 Connector |
||
|
DB15-TB10-3V Price Each: $22.00 (USD) |
This adapter provides Terminal Block Connections |
|
for BrightSigns with Phoenix TERMINAL BLOCK Connector |
||
|
TB12-TB12+V (Dissimilar Voltage Adapter) Price Each: $20.00 (USD) |
This adapter allows for different input voltages to the
Series 3 & 4 BrightSign's. It has diodes to block higher voltages (5 to 24V) from
getting to the BrightSign. The diodes conduct the low signal (0V) but block
high voltage. Jumpers are provided to select 3V interface (direct) or 5-24V
interface. Link: Schematic |
|
|
PH-4x4 (4 input, 4 output) Price Each: $60.00 (USD) |
This interface used for 4 direct inputs to the BrightSign and 4 medium current outputs (2 amps maximum each output). Suitable for driving LED's or Relays. Links: Data Sheet Schematic |
|
|
Price Each: $70.00 (USD) |
This interface used for 4 direct inputs to the BrightSign and 4 high current outputs (10 amps maximum each output). Links: Data Sheet Schematic |
|
|
Price Each: $85.00 (USD) |
This interface used for 4 direct inputs to the BrightSign and 4 medium current outputs (2 amps maximum each output) Brightness and fade potentiometers for each output! Links: Data Sheet Schematic |
|
|
High Current Outputs! Price Each: $95.00 (USD) |
This interface used for 4 direct inputs to the BrightSign and 4 high current outputs (10 amps maximum each output) Brightness and fade potentiometers for each output! Links: Data Sheet Schematic |
|
|
PH-4x4R (4 Inputs, 4 Relay outputs) Price Each: $78.00 (USD) |
This interface used for 4 direct inputs to the BrightSign and 4 medium current Relay outputs (3 amps maximum each output @ 12VDC). See the Data Sheet for the amp ratings for specific voltages Links: Data Sheet Schematic |
|
|
Old Ordering Number GPIO-S3-8-IO PH-8-IO (8 INPUT OR 8 OUTPUT) Price Each: $65.00 (USD) | 8 Inputs OR 8 Outputs Interface board. 2 amp output
drivers. This board enables a combinations of 8 inputs or 8 outputs or any
combination of inputs/outputs for a total of 8 inputs/outputs. Links: Data Sheet Schematic |
 |
|
Price Each: $44.00 (USD) |
4 ISOLATED INPUTS (Buttons) for remote trigger of the
BrightSign or HMS Interface boards. Jumpers provided to select 3-5V or
12-24V interface voltages. Additional terminal block to bypass the
opto-couplers (if needed) Links: Specification Sheet Schematic (Typical Connections) |

Please inquire if you have a custom requirement for interfacing! Turn around can be a little as two weeks.
| Note: External Supply Voltage: An External Power Supply is needed to power the loads on the output connector. Do not connect any loads that have their own power that exceeds the power as applied to the board using the 'Ext. Power Connector'. Doing so may result in damage to the board. I.E. Suppose that 12 volts is supplied to this board and you have a relay board with it's own power of 24Volts DC that powers the relays. The 24VDC will feed back into the board via the foldback diodes. Note: Foldback diodes are required for inductive loads such as relays or small motors. |
