Two Line Electronic Message Center with .7 " Characters

Model: ALPHA® PPD Series

This small, bright, two-line indoor LED display is ideal for close proximity, high-priority messaging.

The Alpha® Personal Priority Display (PPD) is designed to communicate critical, time-sensitive information to individuals - exactly when and where they need it most. Light, color, and motion attract attention to guarantee that your messages are read. Cut through the delay and clutter of: hand-changed announcements, bulletin board/schedule notices, email overload, or other message confusion.

The Alpha PPD is ideal for displaying:

- Point-of-sale advertising and daily specials.
- Machine operation information and advertising information for OEM applications.
- Scheduling information for meeting rooms.
- Way-finding in large facilities in major traffic locations.
- Kiosk information displays for operation and promotional programs.
- Automatic call distribution statistics in telemarketing management offices.
- Real-time system status information and alerts in high priority cubicles.
- Installed on bulletin boards to prioritize hourly/daily/weekly employee notices.

The Alpha communicatons protocol is available for custom software control applications. Or, use our optional off-the-shelf AlphaNet™ PC software to control one or hundreds of PPD units on your Ethernetwork. Also available is an optional IR keyboard to program standalone PPD units.
