Daktronics DF-1050/1051/1052/1053 - Manual (Page 11)

Introduction 1-5
Because this series is based on a modular design, there can be any number of module
and caption combinations. Some displays may utilize a single module, while others
may consist of multiple modules arranged vertically. Each model has four digits that
can display the words “OPEN” and “FULL” as well as any number from 0 to 9999.
The text messages or numbers are controlled via signal protocol.
Caption modules are un-powered units that attach to the top or bottom of a digit
module. Caption modules all use permanent vinyl lettering. Some signs may also use
optional “blank” modules as filler or spacer panels.
Each section in this manual contains model-specific information, including physical
dimensions, digit configuration and power requirements. Display drawings, located
in Appendix A, also list dimensions, weight and mounting instructions for each
display. Additionally, model number and electrical requirements can be found on a
label located on the display's entrance panel.
The Parking Garage displays have been designed for use with the Daktronics
DataMaster
™
100 hand-held console. Other controllers may be used to control
Daktronics DataMaster parking garage software and the appropriate interface. Refer
to Section 5 for detailed operating information.
