Full Colour Parking Guidance Sign
VMS-RGB-08A-P
'Parking guidance display with direction arrows'
High intensity, full colour LED sign indicating available spaces or status messages along with guidance arrows to guide visitors towards available spaces. The sign can be used in standalone counting solutions with Nortech's NCT100 counting modules, in full Parking Count Management Systems alongside Nortech's NCT200 counting modules and NorParc Count Management Software, and for shared occupancy display with Nortech’s shared occupancy controllers (CPC202 and CPC204).
PRODUCT FEATURES & BENEFITS
The VMS-RGB-08A-P uses low profile LED matrices and is capable of displaying count values of up to 5 digits with the option to display ‘FULL’ when a count value falls below 1. It can also display a direction arrow on either the left or right side of the count value. The arrow can be set to one of 8 direction angles.
The main display options are set via the counting/control module. Display settings include the display colours and the options to replace the count value with ‘OPEN’ or 'SPACE' when the count value is 1 or more.
The sign has 10cm high characters and can be viewed at distances of up to 35 metres with a 120º viewing angle. The luminance of the signs can also be manually adjusted to match ambient light levels. The default setting provides automatic luminance adjustment using the built-in ambient light sensor.
Depending upon the application, up to eight signs can be connected on a single RS485 bus, each displaying a different count value.

Intuitive Directional Guidance for Complex Parking Layouts
The VMS-RGB-08A-P combines space availability counting with directional arrows to actively guide drivers through complex parking facilities. Essential for sprawling surface lots, multi-zone car parks, and facilities with split-level arrangements, this compact sign helps reduce search time by directing vehicles toward areas with confirmed availability.
Practical applications include installation at internal junctions within shopping centre car parks, decision points in airport long-stay facilities, and zone transitions in event venue parking areas. The 120° viewing angle ensures visibility from multiple approach directions while the configurable 8-direction arrow system accommodates any facility layout. Lightweight at just 3.5kg and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use (IP54), the sign offers flexible mounting options for posts, walls, or suspended installations throughout the parking journey.
