The VMS of series Minerva are employed in the public transportation to provide information to the
passengers in transit: Therefore they are installed in highly aggressive conditions.
It is normally driven by an on-board computer equipped with SW management, with which it
communicates via appropriate communication system.
Although these displays are designed and fabricated by using best technologies to ensure max reliability
and durability, yet above mentioned stresses for long period of time can lead to malfunctioning and failures
of the same, whose preventive and corrective maintenance procedure will be described in
chapter 6 "PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE"; and chapter 7“DIAGNOSTIC ”.
Note: any use other than that is indicated, or any specification/protocol other than
that is described in this manual, or any installation which does not observe the
instructions provided herein, is improper: any resulting malfunctions cannot be
attributed to Aesys.

These VMS have been designed by taking into account the mode of installation, environmental conditions,
and ease of maintenance. The components have been positioned and laid out in a manner to facilitate the
maintenance process; even the unified & standard tools of minimum numbers are required for the
maintenance process.
The load-bearing structure is formed by four aluminum extruded profiles, which are fixed together to give a
certain structural strength to the container.
These displays are powder-coated with polyester polymerized paint in the range of RAL color.

On both of the lateral heads of VMS, four female inserts (two on each side) are fitted to fix them onto the
supporting structure by means of four M8 bolts (see para. 5.2 “Installation”).

The front part of these VMS consists of masks which are made with thermoplastic material. Behind these
masks, the LED modules are mounted.
These masks are designed to prevent direct sun light onto the LED boards and also to improve the contrast
ratio of the display.

The whole rear side of the VMS is closed with a back cover and self-tapping screws.
The CPU board is fixed to this back cover using M3 pin inserts, while the LED boards are mounted in front of
the display with self-tapping screws directly onto extruded profiles.

Environmental characteristics
Degrees of protection :
IP30
Operating temperature :
-20° C ÷ +65° C
Operating humidity :
10% ÷ 90%
Cooling system :
Not present.
Heating system :
Not present.
Given the constant presence of aggressive agents such as saline mist and greasy dust, the materials used
for the container, for the screen and for the external screws were selected to be stainless (rust-resistant),
long-life (especially the polyester epoxy paint) and mechanically resistant.

The internal cabling of the powered components is done with conducting wires. The supply of medium-
voltage 24Vdc is done by using conducting wires of section 1.5 mm2(minimum).
For the low voltage contacts, the conducting wires of different sections running towards the various
electronic boards are used:
(LED board power)
+24 VDC (+ LED) = RED
0 VDC = BLACK of polarized connectors
For controlling the signals, the connections between CPU board and LED boards are made with flat cables
and polarized connectors.
