ELECTroVOTE™
Description of Components

POWER SUPPLY

The Power Supply is a 7" x 6" x 2" module with a bank of modular jacks at one end, which receive the cables from all other components. It is easily mounted on the under side of the Dais near a 110 VAC outlet.

CLERK’S CONTROL MODULE

The Clerk’s Control Module has three push button switches for turning the system on and off, for displaying the vote and for resetting the system for a new sequence of voting. Down the left side of the module is a column of push button switches, one for each voting module, with a red LED opposite each switch. If a voting member is absent the switch for that member is pressed and the LED becomes permanently illuminated until deactivated upon the return of the voting member. In addition to being an indicator of an absentee, this feature also informs the system’s microprocessor that a voting sequence may be displayed without a vote from the absentee position. These red LED’s also illuminate when each member present votes. Thus, the Clerk need only see a fully lit column to know to display the vote. Down the right side of the module are columns of Green, Red and Yellow LED’s, which illuminate to show each voting member’s choice when the Vote Display button is pressed.

If the "lockout" mode is activated the vote choices made by each Voting Module can be changed only until the vote has been displayed. Thereafter, they cannot. To cancel this mode follow the directions given in the Programming and Operating Instructions.

Also, on the back surface is a six conductor modular jack used for the connection to a desktop printer.

 VOTE MODULES

The Vote Modules are small cell-phone sized hand held modules with three push button switches for "YES", "NO" AND "ABS" (Abstain). Opposite each switch is a green, a red and a yellow LED recessed so they can be seen only by the member using it. The appropriate LED illuminates when a vote choice is registered, as verification that the choice made is the one intended. Voting choices may be changed by pressing the button of a new choice. If the "Lockout" mode is in force, such changes can only be made until the Display sequence has begun.

Each Voting module is labeled with a number which represents its position on all the Displays with #1 being at the top.  This is true regardless of where it is placed at the dais.

VOTE DISPLAY PANELS

The Display Panels are constructed using natural wood with a clear satin finish. Veneers of most any specie desired are available.  Oak, Cherry, Walnut, Teak, Birch and Mahogany are standard. 

LARGE DISPLAY PANELS

The Large Display Panels accommodate nameplates 2" X 12" and have Green, Red and Yellow LED arrays 2" in diameter. These panels are suitable for viewing distances up to 80 feet. Panels are 24" wide, 1 ¼" thick and of a height as is required by the number of voting members. For 5 members height is 26", 7 members – 29", 9 members – 30", 11 members – 36", 13 members - 42", and 15 members – 48". For systems over 16 members, special panel design will be submitted.

SMALL DISPLAY PANELS

The Small Display Panels accommodate nameplates ¾" X 4 ½" and have 1" diameter LED arrays. These panels are suitable for viewing distance of up to 25 feet. Panels are 10" wide, 1 1/4" thick. Heights are, for 5 members -14", 7 members – 16". 9 members – 18", 11 members – 19", 13 members – 19" and for 15 members 21 1/2'". These Panels are frequently used in situations where it is difficult for the voting members to view the primary Display Panels.

SET OF INDIVIDUAL VOTE DISPLAY PANELS

These Individual Panels - one for each member - are 4" high by 24" wide by 1 1/4" thick with 2" by 12" name plates.  They are intended for placement in front of each individual voting member.

CUSTOM DISPLAY PANELS can be price quoted for any situation or design concept, special décor or extra long viewing distances.

DISPLAY PANEL OVERLAYS

Display Panel Overlays are available for situations wherein more than one voting body will be using the system. Rather than having to exchange the individual nameplates on the primary Display Panel, a separate name holder portion of a panel is hung in place. If the two voting bodies are not equal in number, the discrepancy is accounted for by employing the "Absentee" feature on the Clerk’s Control Module.
