instALERT®

Rapid Deployment: A single person can have the instALERT out of the trunk and deployed with a message in about a minute.

Text Sizes: 5' x 2.5' screen displays font sizes ranging from 1 line of (4) 24" characters to 2 lines of (8) 10" characters to 3 lines of (12) 7" characters.

Folds in half: Sturdy hinges allow this full matrix sign to pack up to only 30" x 28" x 3.25" from an open face size of 30" x 60".

200 Pixels/sf: 2,496 auto-dimming, high intensity LEDs to provide bright, clear text with a 30 degree viewing angle.

Flexible Mounting: You can use the existing threaded holes in the enclosure if your community uses specific mounting hardware for more permanent installations. Otherwise the mounting bracket included will mount to almost any pole or mast arm.

Secure: Quick release mounting tabs lock in place. Once mounted on a post, pole or trailer, only the tamper-resistant end of mounting hardware is exposed. All the removable features are contained within the pocket of the mounting bracket.

Protective Feet: Prevent the bottom corners from being scratched while it is being unfolded on the ground.

Strengthened Enclosure: Internal and external structural elements make sure this sign can withstand years of use in the field.

Easy Wireless Programming: Program and scroll through all your messages, change your settings and even read your battery level via a wireless Bluetooth PDA.

Manual Message Selection: Scroll through pre-programmed messages via 2 buttons on the back of the sign when the PDA is not available.

Brightly Colored Touch Points: Handles and cords are brightly colored to make them easy to see under poor light conditions. You've got better things to do than looking for the basics.

Resist wear & tear: The durable, powder-coat finish also resists graffiti.

Cigarette power plug: Plug directly into your vehicle power jack, a vehicle's 4-pin trailer plug using our 4-pin adapter, or directly into our portable POWERcase supply.

Stow it Away: Put it in your trunk, behind your seat or stow it in the equipment cabinet. This sign doesn't take up much space when it's not in use.

Padded Softcase: Keep the instALERT and power cord safely tucked away in this padded carrying bag during transit or storage.

Low Profile Latches: Heavy duty closures keep the display closed tightly and won't catch on external objects.

Customizable: Different roads & situations require different text and display times. You design each screen to create exactly what you need.

Single or Multi-Screen: Sometimes a single screen is all you need; sometimes you need three. In special circumstances you may even need to scroll through all the stored messages.

Simple: Create and display a spontaneous message quickly or choose a message already designed.

Special Features: Specify each screen independently: to blink and how fast, to reverse or flash or to include custom graphics.

PDA Message: Specify each screen independently: to blink and how fast, to reverse or flash or to include custom graphics.

Basic Scheduling: Schedule multiple on/off times for a message throughout the day to match the ebb and flow of commuters, events or work zones.

Advanced Scheduling: Select a basic day schedule to apply to each day of the week.

Universal Mounting Brackets: The trailer accommodates any ATS sign easily. If your sign changes because your needs change, you don’t need to change your trailer!

See-through Construction: Open frame design minimally blocks line of sight.

Rust-proof Upper: Aluminum upper structure eliminates the risk of rust.

Solar Charging During Storage: The panels fold facing upward when the sign is lowered, allowing the batteries to remain fully charged during storage.

High Leverage Lift Arm: You need minimal force to lift our largest sign and a 60W solar assembly.

Removable Parts Storage: Lock your removeable trailer tongue and lift arm in the trailer. Prevent unauthorized moving without carrying pieces around to store separately.

Secure: Locking provisions are available for the battery box, jack stands, raise/lower pivot, wheel nuts* and axle* to prevent tampering (*optional).

Lightweight: Weighs a well-balanced 550 lbs, including a pair of batteries. Tow and set up easily by one person.

Multi-Axis leveling: Park where you have to so you can use the sign where you need to. Multiple pivot points allow you to swivel the sign (+-90), tilt (+-5%) and level (+-15%) for optimal viewing without moving the vehicle to an awkward angle.

Height to Sign (telescoping): The distance to the bottom of the sign is up to 68” from the hitch receiver. The additional distance to the ground will vary by vehicle.

Height to Ssign (non-telescoping): The distance to the bottom of the sign is up to 40” from the hitch receiver. The additional distance to the ground will vary by vehicle.

Fits 1 ¼ or 2” receivers: All our hitch mounts include an adapter that will fit most vehicles in your fleet.

Maximum Portability: Use our standard portable post when ease of deployment is the most critical factor. Weighs only 25 lbs and provides up to 56” to the bottom of the sign. It collapses to a total dimension of 7” x 7” x 37”.

Maximum Height: Use the telescoping stand when mounting height takes priority. Weighs 50 lbs and telescopes to provide up to 86”” to the bottom of the sign. It collapses to a total dimension of 13” x 8” x 72”.

Stable Footprint: The collapsible legs unfold to provide a stable 68” x 38” (standard) and 138” x 63” (telescoping ) footprint.

Multiple Sizes: Available in approximately 20W, 60W (shown) or 120W capacities to fit the power needs of your configuration and location.

Universal Bracket: The pole bracket can be mounted to nearly any pole, whether single, multiple, small, large round or square.

Standard AC Supply (not show ): Available for the SPEEDsentry and SPEEDsentry Shield, this supply mounts within the sign and is appropriate for clean commercial AC sources.

Medium Duty AC Supply: Recommended for the SPEEDsentry and Shield, where a municipal AC source is being tapped. Uses additional surge protection and an industrial AC supply.
