At a petrol station, LED displays are the key to proactive communication with customers.
The price of fuel influences the choice of motorists, who prefer to stop and refuel at new, well-organised service areas.
LED fuel price displays must therefore convey the main message effectively and efficiently: the price.
How can you recognise the quality of a Hitechled LED display?
Technologically advanced and designed down to the smallest detail, LED fuel price displays offer concrete advantages such as:
Excellent visibility of the illuminated numeric message in all weather conditions.
Drastic reduction in the likelihood of failure of the LEDs, the control system and the power supply.
Quick and easy fuel price changes thanks to intuitive operator control systems; all communication protocols are included.
Perfect LED operation 24h/day without interruption, even in areas with strong exposure to sunlight.
Hitechled develops professional products for specialists in the lighting and communication sectors; this is why it understands their technical and functional needs, always keeping end-customer satisfaction in mind.
Hitechled LED fuel price displays are the perfect solution for meeting the needs of companies that own petrol stations and of the customers who pass through them.
Brightness and clarity of the message in all weather conditions?
Hitechled has thought of this too and, combined with the technical features of its product, makes its LED fuel price displays the perfect solution for every professional.
Integrated control board
Protected by a 1.5 mm layer of silicone resin and a transparent PMMA shield, the board is located on the back of a price line.
Silicone resin protection
To protect the boards from moisture caused by condensation, Hitechled coats them with a thick layer of silicone resin, precisely applied by a robotic process. This particular type of resin has the property of remaining elastic and bonded to the components even during thermal expansion, ensuring perfect protection over time. In addition, it does not interact chemically with the phosphor of white LEDs and therefore does not accelerate brightness degradation and colour shift.
Connection
The wiring between each individual display and the control board uses a single cable carrying both data and power: easy installation, double-insulated cable and connector with silicone seal. The safety lock ensures a secure connection at all times, preventing any malfunction of the LED fuel price displays. The contacts, coated with anti-oxidation metal, are suitable for use in humid environments and ensure a long service life.
LED driving
All displays with SMD LEDs are fitted with constant current drivers; in addition, the LEDs are divided into many branches connected in series of just 4 LEDs, which minimises the risk of a digit becoming illegible in the unlikely event that an LED fails.
Immunity to interference
The LED fuel price display is designed to be installed inside totems and price columns, where the wiring is typically secured with cable ties, often close to lamps, ballasts, starters, etc. To achieve a high degree of immunity to electromagnetic interference, each individual digit therefore has its own microprocessor, an RS485 serial communication line and a voltage stabiliser. The data are then decoded and filtered at the digit, eliminating any interference induced in the cables. Each display is independent of the others, so a fault in one display would not affect the operation of the others.
Temperature and brightness system
LED fuel price displays are fitted with two types of sensor: temperature and brightness.
The integrated temperature sensor reduces the current in the LEDs if the temperature inside the monolith becomes too high, restoring it to the normal level when the temperature falls below the limit value.
The integrated brightness sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the LEDs to the ambient light, and the remote control functions allow the minimum and maximum limits of the brightness scale to be set.
Front panel
The sun shield front panel, made of FR4 fibreglass laminate, has heat-insulating properties and therefore acts as a shield protecting the components from UV rays and high temperatures.
IP65 power supply
The power supply has an IP65 casing and comes with 1 metre of wire with ring terminals for easy connection to the control board.
