VFD dispays lose intensity over time, so this is an\nopportunity to refresh the display in your device and bring the\nluminance back to its original level. (I recommend dimming the\ndisplay once the unit is configured to prolong the VFD life). This\nis a direct replacement for the original and is already\nconfigured and programmed for this application. The display\nhas been tested in a Syncserver chassis to confirm that it operates\nas expected. This display type was installed in the S200,\nS250, S300 and S350 units. It is not compatible with the S6XX\nseries servers, or the XLi\/XL-GPS.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a hard-to-find component. It was discontinued by\nNoritake some years ago, and when it was available it sold for over\n$700 from the manufacturer. I'm sure that it would have been\nmuch more expensive from Symmetricom as a pre-programmed spare part.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFull product details may be obtained from the Product Datasheet at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.prostudioconnection.net\/2608\/GU256x32D-3900B_Spec.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.prostudioconnection.net\/2608\/GU256x32D-3900B_Spec.pdf\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe board is simply held in place by four 3\/16 nuts which can\nusually be removed without the need to disturb any other parts\ninside the case. I use a slim nut driver to remove the\nsecuring nuts. Take care not to lose the lock washers under\nthe nuts and the spacer between the VFD board and the front of the\ncase. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis board may suit other applications, but it might require\nre-configuration (eg communications protocol, baud rate etc) to\nmatch the other equipment. It is currently programmed with the\ncustom Symmetricom Syncserver animated start-up sequence that\nprovides the user someting to look at while the Linux OS boots up in\nthe background - and which later provides the time display once the\npre-recorded graphic sequence ends. It may also be possible to\ndesolder the 256x32 pixel VFD and transplant it to a different\nNoritake board that also uses that part.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNote that any disassembly, reconfiguration or re-programming of the\nunit will invalidate any warranty offered by the seller. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/image.prostudioconnection.net\/2608\/C1020798.png\" alt=\"https:\/\/www.prostudioconnection.net\/2608\/C1020798.png\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/image.prostudioconnection.net\/2608\/C1020797c.png\" alt=\"https:\/\/www.prostudioconnection.net\/2608\/C1020797c.png\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/image.prostudioconnection.net\/2608\/C1020799.png\" alt=\"https:\/\/www.prostudioconnection.net\/2608\/C1020799.png\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\n","brand":"Symmetricom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45399585390615,"sku":"366599350844","price":462.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0119\/2496\/3387\/files\/57_cd81d1f1-c01a-4f6a-a17c-0c8bf839a4ae.jpg?v=1786468445","url":"https:\/\/prostudioconnection.com\/products\/new-symmetricom-syncserver-s200-s300-vfd-display-board-noritake-gu256x32d-3900","provider":"ProStudioConnection LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
