Dimming
The dimming (brightness) level of the display can be adjusted in
two ways. A temperature/light sensor, mounted near the display,
can detect the level of ambient light at the display location and dim
the sign’s LEDs accordingly. This function is known as automatic
dimming. When the manual dimming function is selected, the
LEDs remain at the same level of brightness regardless of the level
of light detected at the display.
To select either of these functions, press the <DIMMING> key
(Figure 17). The current setting is shown on the bottom line of the LCD.
