Note:
If you’re using an ALPHA 215 sign, go to page 2

Step 1:
Unplug the ALPHA sign from its outlet or power source. Make sure to unplug the 
unit from the outlet, not the back of the sign.
Step 2:
Insert the Data Receiver cable plug into the right Communications Port—the 
RS232 port—on the back side of the sign:

Step 3:
Remount the sign. Attach one side of the Velcro strips to the Data Receiver. Then 
use the remaining Velcro to attach the Data Receiver directly to the wall next to 
the sign. Use the 3-foot Extender Cable and Modular Plug to mount the Data 
Receiver to the wall. The Data Receiver MUST be installed horizontally with the 
LED light facing out. Restore the power.
Step 4:
After power has been restored to the sign, the indicator light on the front of the 
Data Receiver should be on.
Step 5:
This completes the Data Receiver installation.
Insert Receiver cable 
plug into the right 
port (as shown here)
