IDX BT912 vacuum timers/displays

[Dan-Ark]

My led displays are not visible in daylight on my IVS vacs. I have some spare D&S vacs that as I recall had nice bright displays before I salvaged from a wash I dissassembled. both are BT912, but the ones in my IVS have a dash -IVS and the ones in my D&S vacs have -D&S.

curious if anyone knows if they are interchangeable as is, do I need to swap the big (eprom?) chip? I can swap vac/shampoo and vac/fragrance units as I have one of each in each brand.

Had a customer ask me if the vacs were working one day, so I figure I better make the messages brighter!

Take the board out of the D & S case and put it into the IVS case and it should work according to Mike Oliver at IDX.

You can get the LED panels for about $6 apiece from Mouser. Replace them all at once or the new ones will fail pretty quickly.

The cases appear to be the same, just the sticker with the dash IVS or dash DS. I'll give it a go, should hurt, just may not work right

Thanks, I would have never figured that out by their listing, way to technical for me. I'll order some and probably repair the originals and put them back, sooner if the D&S ones dont work...

Mike at IDX said to swap the board out of the case, the boards are the same but the wiring is a little different.
