Ventex developed and patented Soft Start technology to slow the “rate of rise” during the startup strike voltage. It eliminates most of the trip-off on startup problems.
Yes, our outdoor channel letter units can run at 100% full load while in an ambient temperature of 122ºF (50ºC). With de-rating, they can safely run in even warmer environments.
How many times have you hung a sign and the power cord was too short? We realized this is a common problem. Unlike our competitors, we give you a full 10 feet to make installation simpler.
We offer our units in 120VAC. The VT 4030CL, VT 9030CL and the VT 9060CL units are also available in 277VAC.
The new 60mA series includes the VT 6060CL-120, VT 9060CL-120 and the VT 9060CL-277M.
Because of the technology incorporated into our units, a mA meter will not work properly. With constant 30mA, loading will not affect the mA output.
Unlike our competitors, Ventex has incorporated a technology to hold the output of the unit to a constant 30mA. This means that if you try to dim the primary, the unit will try to hold the output at 30mA. The VT 9030D unit has a dimmer switch, which has 3 positions and dims the secondary.
The unit will attempt to restart 1-3 times in case there is a ground fault situation. If this does not relight it, the primary must be turned off and then on to reset the protection features.
Sometimes you must hardwire a unit for indoor applications. We suggest that you use channel letter units, because the design for the primary input uses 36″ pigtails and ½” conduit fitting. Using indoor units and cutting the power cord will void the warranty. More importantly, it will also void UL certification.
The channel letter units are white so that they do not cast a shadow on a channel letter face.
