FAQs: Intelligent indicatorsTM

Can I get other arrays besides 3 X 4 and 6 X 4 arrays of cells. ?

The standard Siemens reflector is 3 x 4. A 6 x 4 is two reflectors on one PC Board. Any

additional arrangement using the 3 x 4 standard reflector can be put on a single PC board as a

semi-custom.

Can I make three colors with these modules by turning both LEDs on per cell?

It is possible, but the part is designed to have only one LED on per cell at a time. The third color

is not always uniform, so it may not be acceptable.

What are positive or negative icons?

Icons are universal symbols as opposed to letters and numbers. Letters, numbers or icons can

be printed on overlays for the Intelligent Indicator modules where the majority of the cell is dark,

with light coming out of the image (positive); or where the majority of the cell is light with a dark

printed image (negative). Overlays are available from GM Nameplate or a preferred local

vendor.
