INTRODUCTION
CONGRATULATIONS
The Marquee-Lite™ PLUS is the finest retrofit messaging center available on the market
today. It is available in two sizes, a 6 foot (ML3225) or 8 foot (ML4225) unit. The Marquee-
Lite™Plus (ML+) is designed for ease of use, ease of installation, and years of trouble free
service.
These displays are designed to fit in either an 8 or 6 foot cabinet. In some cases you may
install the unit(s) in a larger cabinet, but suitable filler panels will need to be fabricated. Your
ML+ is designed to slide into a standard cabinet, with a 2” flange or less. The finish size is
71.875” and 95.875” respectively. This gives plenty of room to fit in the appropriate
cabinet. If your display does not take up the whole cabinet space, a divider bar and filler
panel must be fabricated. This is usually a sign face made of polycarbonate, and is included
with most retrofit kits. Please contact your local sign fabricator if you do not have this
solution.
OVERHEATING DANGER:
T
he cabinet MUST be equipped with a proper
ventilation system. Without proper ventilation, the sign will overheat,
cause condensation on the components and/or plexi or cause other
damage. This damage will not be covered under the warranty.
The ML+ sign can already dissipate heat from its own casing, but not the
cabinet enclosure that will hold the sign. Vents on the sides toward the top
end of the cabinet enclosure should be installed to allow air to escape.
Make sure proper vent installation techniques are followed to prevent
water from entering through the vents.
READING INSTRUCTIONS
 Retain manual for future reference.
 Follow all warnings and instructions indicated in this manual including those marked
on the product.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
 Do not allow AC power to be connected inadvertently during installation.
BEFORE OPERATION
 Confirm all connections are correct and secure by reviewing manual before power up.
DURING OPERATION
 Do not make modifications while sign is in operation.
MAINTENANCE
 Do not open, modify or disassemble any part of the unit. This will void warranty and
may result in electrical shock and serious injury.
 To maintain warranty, the unit must be installed in a cabinet that protects the back of
the unit from water. Your unit is not designed to repel running water from the back.
Exposure to running water on the back will void the warranty.

SIGN CONFIGURATION – MASTER ONLY
The ML+ is designed to operate as an independent unit (MASTER ONLY), or operate two
ML+ units (MASTER/ SLAVE) controlled by a single remote control. Follow the instructions in
this section to operate the ML+ as a MASTER ONLY configuration.
1) Locate the MASTER INPUT and OUTPUT1 ports on the back, left side of the ML+
2) Using the supplied Data Cable, connect as shown below.
3) Secure the connections by tightening the fasteners or screws.
Go to SIGN INSTALLATION section for completion

SIGN CONFIGURATION – MASTER/SLAVE
Follow the instructions in this section to operate two ML+ units as a MASTER/SLAVE
configuration.
NOTE : Any ML+ unit can be configured as MASTER or SLAVE. It is important to
note that the MASTER will always be the primary signal carrier.
1) Configure one ML+ as a MASTER ONLY configuration. Refer to previous section.
2) Now connect the remaining Data Cable as shown below.
NOTE : For ease of installation into a cabinet, Data Cable #2 should be made once
partially installed into its final position in the cabinet.
4) Secure all connections by tightening the fasteners or screws.
5) MASTER/SLAVE Configuration complete!
NOTE : Remaining ports on the SLAVE ML+ unit are not used in a MASTER/SLAVE
configuration.

SIGN INSTALLATION & AC POWER CONNECTIONS
SIGN INSTALLATION
1) Slide the unit(s) into your cabinet.
2) Confirm that all Data Cable connections are secure.
3) Finish securing the unit(s) to the cabinet with two self tapping screws (not included),
through the flange.
NOTE : It is recommended that the two self tapping screws are secured on each end
behind the cabinet face retainer, into the narrow extrusion, to hide the screws.
This will eliminate vibration and secure the unit from sliding back and forth, if
the cabinet is slightly larger than the display.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The ML+ boasts ultra efficient power consumption, using less than 3 amps per unit. The
ML+ requires a 110V AC power source to operate.
1) Connect the outlet plug (included) to a 110VAC wall outlet or splice the plug and hard wire
directly to a 110VAC power source using wire nuts (not included).
NOTE : In many cases, existing power can be used, but it is suggested to find the
cleanest AC power source available. It is also recommended that a licensed
electrician perform any wiring modifications needed for custom applications.
Always follow local laws and ordinances.

TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION
Some of the ML+ come equipped with a temperature sensor option that will allow the ML+
to read and display the temperature.
The sensor will be attached next to the power supply on the backside of the ML+.
NOTE : In a MASTER/SLAVE Configuration, the temperature sensor on the MASTER
ML+ will be the only temperature sensor that is required to be installed. The
temperature sensor on the SLAVE ML+ can be tied and tucked away.
INSTALLATION
1) Drill a hole under the cabinet and feed the temperature line through.
2) Feed the temperature line into the temperature sensor case so that it is floating in
the center and lock the line in place.

TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION (continued)
3) Mount the temperature sensor on the bottom of the cabinet and tuck the excess line
back up into the cabinet.
NOTE: It is recommended the hole under the cabinet for the temperature line be
sealed with a sealing product such as silicone.
4) Temperature Installation completed!
NOTE: It is recommended the temperature sensor case be used for optimal
temperature reading accuracy. If using the temperature sensor case does not
work for the application, a hole can simply be drilled at the bottom of the
cabinet to allow the sensor to protrude 2” – 3” out. This will protect the sensor
from the sun while allowing a good air stream to read from.
Your ML+ is now ready for operation.
Please refer to the REMOTE KEYBOARD USERS MANUAL
for operation instructions.
