  • Choice of 4 or 6 digits with period or color dividers
  • Choice of normal or outside viewing brightness
  • Choice of signal inputs and functions
  • Choice of panel mount, wall mount or suspension mount
  • Choice of 95-264 Vac or 11-30 Vdc power

  • Programmable from front panel
  • Optional two or four 2A relay outputs, analog output, serial I/O
Viewing distances up to 320 ft (100 m) are achieved with 8" digits. A rule of thumb is that viewing distance in feet is 40 times digit height in inches, or in metric terms, that viewing distance in meters is digit height in millimeters divided by 2.

Four digit heights are available a standard: 57 mm (2-1/4"), 102 mm (4.0"), 150 mm (5.9"), and 200 mm (7.9"). Solid segments are used for normal brightness 2.2" and 4.0" digits. Individual 5 mm LED pixels are used for larger digits and outdoor brightness versions. The number of digits can be 4, 6 or 8, depending on the display function.

Indoor or outdoor viewing: MAGNA Series Displays with normal brightness LEDs can be read over a machine or across a plant floor. Displays with outdoor brightness LEDs can be read across an industrial yard, parking lot or roadway, for example to display vehicle load. A heater option allows outdoor operation in winter in cold climates. Available mounting options are panel mount, wall mount and suspension mount. Environmental sealing to IP65 (NEMA-4X) is standard.

Choice of signal inputs: MAGNA Series Displays are available for different signal types, with can each be associated with 4 or 6 digits. Please click on the links below for detailed information by signal type:

Standard options include two or four 2A relays, an analog output, an RS232 or RS485 serial data output, and 95-264 Vac or 11-30 Vdc power.

Intuitive setup is normally provided by means of built-in front panel switches, which can be locked. It is also possible to remotely wire four pushbuttons to the display.

MAGNA units are built to order. MAGNA orders are non-cancelable and non-returnable.
Customized large digit displays are available by special quotation:

  • LED colors green, blue, white,yellow (not just red).
  • Digit heights of 12", 16", 24" or 32" (not just4", 6" or 8").
  • 2 or 4 solid state relays (not just mechanical relays).
  • Stainless steel housing (for food processing and pharmaceutical industries).
  • Explosion-proof stainless steel housing rated for ATEX Zones 2 and 22 (equivalent to Class1 / Div 2).
  • Custom signs with different colors, with fixed captions, and with multiple numeric display windows.
