Normal, service or critical mode? Any statuses of your device can be easily distinguished by a simple backlight colour change.



It?s a well-known fact that a human brain can more easily and quickly understand a picture or pictogram rather than ordinary text. In cases when your device displays various parameters or it works in various modes, it?s very beneficial for the user to be able to easily distinguish its status ? for example, whether a measured parameter is OK or it exceeded some defined value.

Imagine the situation that if the displayed parameter has value of say 40-80%, then everything is OK. But anything out of this range creates an error status and it?s worth to highlight it. Naturally a common way is to use for example buzzers, but it?s not always desirable for a device to beep every while, especially at more complex workplaces with a lot of devices when it?s very hard to differentiate which device is beeping.

A visual signalisation is optimal for such situations, which can easily be achieved by a simple backlight colour change. In contrast to common character of graphic modules with a fixed backlight, EA DOG series displays from company Electronic Assembly enable to choose a desired combination of display + backlight.



In majority of cases, the backlight is monochromatic (yellow, amber, white, blue, ?) but 2-colour versions as well as 3-colour versions like new EA LED94x40-ERW dedicated for EA DOGM series modules are also available.

Efficient LEDs used in the module and a relatively high max. operating current of 75-120mA (depending on a colour) guarantee bright, easily readable displaying even at strong ambient light. Similar 3-colour backlight intended for smaller modules EA DOGS series is called EA LED36X28-ERW.
