Variable frequency is another exclusive Ventex feature. We design our units to adjust themselves to hold a constant 30mA current regardless of length of glass or input voltage. This makes all glass powered by Ventex products the same brightness. This is very important for self-contained channel letters.
Phase Detection is a technological breakthrough by Ventex that compares load current to capacitive current and differentiates between the two. This provides full GFI protection while eliminating most false tripping.
Yes, you can flash Ventex units with an external controller. We prefer that if you do flash the units, it is with a electronic flasher and not a mechanical one. Suggested Source: Starlight Controls, Inc. 131 Sandstone Rdg. Marble Falls, TX 78654 (719) 488-3036 www.chaselights.com
Overloading is a condition where more neon tubing is placed on a power supply than is suggested. This overloading causes overheating and increased stress on the power supply, and therefore reduced life of the power supply. Ventex incorporates overload protection to prevent all our power supplies from being damaged in this fashion, therefore increasing the…
First off, all Ventex Power supplies are high power factor. The power factor is how much input current the unit needs to operate and provide the necessary output current. Ventex’s high power factor means that they will draw at peak on a 9000-volt unit no more then 0.9 amps. This is compared to an outdated…
