The LA-B18 Lumalert Bar is a low voltage, remote controllable visual messaging device. The 17.5 by 0.5 inch RGB LED optical element has programmable color and intensity which may be started as a preset. The preset can be recalled by Ethernet or RS-232 serial command or by contact closure.
Color is a universal language. Stoplights tell us to stop, go, or maybe go. In facilities, Red/Green often implies open/closed, occupied/available, or danger/safety. At many sites, colors have specific meanings such as Red Alert, Code Blue or engine status in firehouses. Slow or fast flashing or cycling colors can add emphasis. The ability to integrate widely distributed color-coded alerts in a facility can be a new communication solution in the hands of a creative integrator.
The unit is ideal for any location where visual messaging is desired. Applications can include health care, first responder, education facilities, houses of worship, ADA support, meeting room status indication, and high-noise environments such as industrial, manufacturing, or production. Programming may be accomplished via Ethernet, Telnet, or RS-232 serial commands as well as using onboard DIP switches,
The Lumalert Bar can be a colorful solution for silent alert communication, networked facility-wide over a standard IP network. The sleek 18" aluminum bar hosts a row of bright RGB LEDs behind a white diffuser, displaying hundreds of programmable solid colors, powered via POE at less than 7W per unit. Surface mountable or to a standard 2-gang box, the light bar can be mounted in any orientation, horizontal or vertical. Integrated electronics with connections are available for Ethernet, local DC power, RS-232, and programmable contact closure inputs. Controlled using a simple ASCII protocol, a networked system can operate with DHCP and thus not requiring static IP addresses. A control/testing/configuration software application can discover and manage all devices on the network. Integrators can also incorporate the published, open protocol into their preferred control system or software application.
