Daktronics DF-1020 - Manual (Page 15)

Introduction 1-5
DataMaster cabinets, specially developed for outdoor use, are constructed of heavy-
gauge aluminum. Digit faceplates are black, and they are set directly into the surface
of the display. Mounting weights and dimensions for each model are listed in
Section 2 of this manual.
The DataMaster outdoor LED displays have been designed for use with a
DataMaster
™
100 hand-held controller. The device uses a keyboard overlay (called
an insert) for display control, and the DataMaster displays themselves operate
without modification on All Sport
®
5000 signal protocol. Section 6 of this manual
provides complete operating instructions.
1.5 Model Names
Daktronics displays, video screens, and scoreboards are differentiated by their model
numbers. The displays described in this manual all carry the two-letter prefix, DF-,
which indicates that they are DataMaster models. The letter D indicates that they are
numeric displays; the letter F indicates LED technology.
In the outdoor LED display series, typically the first set of numbers following the
prefix identifies the series or product line, while the second set of numbers refers to
digit height. A final letter denotes digit color. With Model DF-1020-13-A, for
example, 1020 identifies the Gas Price full-cabinet line, and 13 signifies that the
display’s primary digits are a nominal 13" tall. In the example, the letter A signifies
that the digits are amber, while R would indicate red LED digits.
Another designation often used with the Model DF-1021 Gas Price display is an M
or an S; those letters indicate that the display is either a master or a slave unit.
1.6 Product Safety Approval
