Nortech says its new range of Variable Message Signs (537 VMS) can be viewed at distances of up to 50m with a 30-degree horizontal viewing angle. The full-colour LED signs display messages which indicate available parking spaces and status messages.

According to Nortech, the multi-level signs are available from two to five level counts which make them suitable for motorways, car parks, corporate offices, airports and hospitals.

The signs feature automatic luminance adjustment with the option of manual adjustment to match stable ambient light levels. A high-intensity setting can be used in regions with extreme sunlight, the company adds. 

Nortech’s VMS can be used as a counting solution with the NCT 100 counting modules or in full parking count management systems with NCT200 counting modules and the NorParc count management software. These signs can also be used alongside Nortech’s shared occupancy controllers CPC202 and CPC204.
