What is a blank-out warning sign?

A blank-out sign displays its message only when the internal LEDs are activated. When the sign is off, the message disappears and the face appears blank. This allows facilities to display warning messages only when necessary.

A CAR COMING sign helps alert pedestrians or drivers that a vehicle is approaching from a location where visibility may be limited. These warning signs are commonly used near parking garage exits, loading docks, or industrial driveways.

Are backlit LED warning signs visible during daylight?

Yes. PHX series signs are designed with high-intensity LED reflected illumination and contrasting message faces to ensure the message remains readable even in direct sunlight.

Can this sign be connected to a facility control system?

Yes. The sign can be activated using a standard switch or integrated into building control or vehicle detection systems using a relay.
