Daktronics displays are built for long life, and require little maintenance. However, from time to time,
certain display components will need replacing. The Replacement Parts List in Section 4.11 provides
the names and part number of components that may need to be ordered during the life of the display.
Most display components have a white label that lists the part number. The component part number is
in the following format: 0P-XXXX-XXXX (circuit board) or 0A-XXXX-XXXX (multi-component
assembly).
Following the Replacement Parts List is the Exchange/Replacement Procedure in Section 4.12. Refer
to these instructions if any display component needs replacement or repair.
1.2 Safety Precautions
Important Safeguards:
1. Read and understand these instructions before installing.
2. Be sure the display is properly grounded.
3. Disconnect power when servicing the display.
4. Do not modify the display structure or attach any panels or coverings to the display
without the written consent of Daktronics, Inc.
1.3 Network Concepts
The concept of using LED displays as a cost effective, high impact method of communication is
rapidly growing throughout many industries and businesses. The reasons for this growth are many, but
the need for additional features and complexity of multiple display installations has emerged, and
Daktronics display system have been designed to meet those needs.
The common thread to most client requests is a means of programming and controlling a group of
displays from a central control point. Daktronics responded by developing a power system of
interconnecting and controlling displays. Great care has been taken to design products that will satisfy
a wide variety of installations. Some of the design goals of these systems include the following:
· Easy transfer of messages
· The ability to tell a display or group of displays in the network which message should run
· The ability to determine the status of any display on the network
· The ability to control multiple display technologies on the same network
All that is required for signal installation is standard six (6) conductor modular telephone wire and a
tool to install the connector. Tools required for mounting the display depend on the location and size
of the display. For some installations, it may be possible to buy pre-terminated telephone cables for
use with the displays.
