Alarm indicator (if alarm fitted), LED on back of SID
|
|
SID measures the light intensity from the front for the interior lightning.
SID stores all the characters and symbols that are used and shown on SID. The information shown by SID is controlled and governed by ICM.
| Type |
SID has an 18.5 cm wide and 3.5 cm high LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen.
An NTC resistor is mounted on the LCD glass to measure its temperature.
On the back of SID is a light sensor (photo diode) that measures the backlight (1-40000 lux) and an alarm diode to indicate that the alarm is armed (state/mode). A light conductor leads the light from the cover to and from the two diodes.
SID has a microprocessor and a ROM to store symbols and characters.
SID has a 12-pin connector.
