A 10 ft power extension cable is offered to allow you to extend the distance from the AC power outlet to the sign.  It connects to the power supply cable (which is 9 ft) on the DC side to the sign…thereby allowing you to be 9ft + 10ft extension for a total of almot 20ft from the AC outlet to the input of the sign.  Multiple power extension cables can be used.

Optiva plans to expand its offering as time progresses.  Please let us know what features you would like us to add by contacting us.  We always like to hear from current and future customers.

Normally, we recommend no more than 5 lines to make up a single sign.

Work with your sign company where you purchase a SpellBrite sign.  They will be able to calculate the power consumption and recommend what power supply configuration you will need.  A basic rule of thumb is 7 or fewer characters will work fine on a 1 amp AC-DC power supply, 8 – 21 will work fine on a 3 amp AC-DC power supply.  More than 21 letters often require more than one power supply.   To see the power draw of every character you may download the Excel SpellBrite Current Draw and Width 2012-10-01 spreadsheet.

No problem.  Each sign row can have its own power supply.  One row will not exceed our 3 Amp AC-DC power supply (a normal row takes between 1 and 1.5 Amps).

It depends upon what letters are chosen.  Each letter has a different power draw, so that is why we calculate it for you.  As a basic guide, 7 or fewer letters/numbers in a row normally use less than 1 amp.  More letters in a row normally calls for the 3 amp power supply.  More than 22 letters in a total sign will often exceed 3 amps, so one or more additional  power supplies may be needed.

Optiva offers a 2 ft cable to connect one sign row to a subsequent sign row.  This can continue on for up to a total of 5 sign rows.

We recommend you keep the number of letters/numbers to 14 or fewer per row.  However, you may go beyond that, up to 25 letters.   Speak to your sign professional for direction and advice.

A sign is defined as between 1 and 5 rows of SpellBrite  characters/numbers/special characters.
