the enclosure.

5. Carefully lift the driver from the display and place it on a clean, flat surface.

In the display, the LED drivers perform the task of switching digits on and off. Refer
to Drawings A-166216 or A-184475 for a complete listing of driver connector
functions and wiring pin numbers.

DataMaster Gas Price displays may use 4-, 8-, or 16-column drivers, depending on
the model and size of digits. Each 16-column driver has 20 or more connectors
providing power and signal inputs to the circuit, and outputs to the digits and
indicators. The following table describes connector functions for a 16-column driver.
(Major functions are the same on 4- and 8-column drivers.)
