Posiflex PD260AW00FEP 2x20 VFD Customer Display
Overview
The Posiflex PD260AW00FEP is a 2x20 VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) customer display unit with 9mm character height and serial (RS-232) connectivity. The rear-mount configuration fits standard POS terminal installations where a separate customer-facing display sits above or beside the main cashier station — typical in retail checkouts, hospitality venues, and quick-service restaurants. The bright, easily readable VFD format remains visible from multiple angles without the viewing-angle limitations of older LCD alternatives, making it practical for high-traffic environments.
Compatibility
This display connects via serial (RS-232) communication, which means it integrates with POS terminals, kitchen display systems (KDS), and point-of-sale software that supports serial output — including legacy Posiflex terminal lines and third-party POS platforms with serial host ports. Confirm your POS system has an available serial port or can bridge serial over USB before installation. The rear-mount bracket is designed for Posiflex terminal ecosystems; if mounting to non-Posiflex equipment, verify mechanical fit and cable routing clearances.
Installation Notes
The PD260AW00FEP connects via serial cable (DB-9 or equivalent, not included). Route the cable cleanly to avoid pinches under the terminal or counter edge. Mounting hardware and precise torque specifications should be verified against the terminal's documentation or mounting template. The display draws power through the serial connection path or a separate 5V supply depending on the configuration — consult your terminal manual for power routing. Keep the display away from direct heat sources (fryers, ovens) and liquid splash zones typical to food-service counters.
