Product Description

The variable message sign VMS product range is designed to be used in conjunction with display counter modules to monitor and display count values such as the number of available spaces in a car park. The VMS displays this information to visitors at suitable locations. Its large *-digit, LED display panel housed in an outdoor enclosure provides clear visibility.

Up to eight VMS’s can be connected on a single RS**5 bus to display different count values. The count value that a VMS displays is selected by setting an associated node number on its DIP switches. More than one VMS unit can be set to display the same count value.

There is a choice of red or yellow LED colours and the LED intensity can be set to one of four levels via the NCT**0 module to accommodate different ambient lighting conditions.  The Variable Message Sign or VMS is primarily designed to display the number of available car parking spaces.

The Variable Message Sign is a large *-digit LED display housed in an outdoor enclosure that clearly shows the availability of car parking spaces. It works in conjunction with Nortech's panel mount counters.  

The most common application for the VMS is to display the number of available spaces (up to ***9) in a car park. As a vehicle enters the car park, the capacity counter and VMS display will both decrement by 1. When the car park is full, the VMS can display either '***0' or FULL.

Several VMS can be used together to display the same information at different locations. It can also be used in conjunction with Nortech's CountSoft.  For simpler display requirements. We also offer an OPEN/FULL sign.
