Daktronics BA-1518 Multi-Section Outdoor LED Scoreboard - Manual (Page 26)

20 Electrical Installation
Connect the appropriate wires coming through the rear of the scoreboard to the power
terminal block, as shown in Figure 13.
Note: If a power receptacle is needed to operate the control console at the scoreboard for
troubleshooting, Daktronics recommends that an installation electrician provides a 120 V
outlet close to the disconnect box specifically for this purpose.
4.3 Power-On Self-Test (POST)
The scoreboard performs a self-test each time that power is turned on and the control console
is powered off or not attached to the scoreboard. If the control console is attached and
powered on, the self-test does not run, and data from the control console is displayed on the
scoreboard after a brief period of time. Each scoreboard self-test pattern will vary depending
on the scoreboard model, the number of drivers and types of digits. Figure 14 shows an
example of the LED bar test pattern that each digit performs.
Radio Settings
If a radio receiver is installed, the radio Broadcast and Channel settings will be displayed in
the Home and Guest or clock digits during the POST. These values must match the settings in
the control console (refer to the manual listed in Section 1.4). Refer to Section 5.9 for more
information on radio installations.
