Before starting up the display, review this checklist to ensure that all parts are ready to operate correctly.
5.1 Start-Up Checklist

• Allow for sufficient power as listed in the display Shop Drawing and Power Specs.
• Assure a main disconnect switch is used to control power.
• Inspect all circuit breakers (internal and external) for sufficient marking and size.
• Confirm that adequate grounding is installed. Each display face must have a separate earth-ground
conductor with a resistance of 10 Ohms or less.
• Assure the external communication equipment (signal enclosure, client radio, etc.) is properly installed.
• Inspect signal connections at the control computer.
• Inspect signal connections at the display.
Inspect signal connections between displays when necessary.

Follow the step-by-step directions in the Venus

1500 Help File’s Configuration section for correct setup.
• Inspect peripheral equipment (temperature sensor, etc.) for proper installation.
5.2 Start-Up Sequence
Each time the display is turned on, an initialization sequence
runs, showing the information in the right column below.
Note: The Xs refer to numbers that vary for each display,
such as the hardware address.
If there are no messages running on the display after this
sequence is complete, the display will be blank. A single
pixel flashes in the lower-right corner of the display to show
that the display has power.
5.3 Post Installation Checklist
Verify the following after starting the display:
• Assure all ventilation fans are fully operational.
• Inspect all intake and exhaust vents for obstructions.
