DataMaster displays use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to illuminate their numeric digits.
LEDs are high-intensity, low-energy lighting units that use a semiconductor to transform
electrical current into light. All DataMaster displays may be configured with red, amber, or
green LEDs. Because of their LED technology, the displays consume little power, some
barely more than a household lamp.
The DataMaster outdoor LED displays have been designed for use with a DataMaster
™
100
hand-held controller, a radio controlled RC-100 system, or the RC-50 mini remote control.
