Daktronics DataTime DF-1012 Time & Temperature Display - Manual (Page 26)

22 Parts Replacement
DataTime ® Time & Temp displays use four-column
drivers which have four outputs to digits. Figure 17
identifies the connector functions. (Major functions are
the same on 16-column drivers.) The table lists the
functions of the various jacks, including those that are
not used in this application.
The display line controlled by the driver is set with an
eight-position DIP-switch that is set before shipping.
Note: Some older drivers use a 12-position address plug
inserted in J19. All DataTime
® displays ship with a Line
1 address already set.
Replacing a Signal Surge Board
Reference Drawings:
Enclosed Driver, 4 Column Reference .................................................... Drawing A-938300
Shop Drawings ..................................................................................... Refer to Appendix A
Surge boards are mounted inside the upper-left corner of the driver enclosure inside the display and typically
behind a digit, but location and mounting varies by model. Refer to the Shop Drawings for the location of the
surge board. All DataTime
® displays are front-accessible.
1. Open the digit panel or display face panel as described in
Section 4.1.
2. Remove the cover from the driver enclosure.
3. Disconnect the power connector from the surge board.
Release it by squeezing together the locking tabs and pull the
connector free.
Note: When reconnecting, remember it is a keyed connector
and will attach in only one way. Do not attempt to force the
connection.
4. Remove the screws securing the surge board to the inside of
the enclosure.
5. Carefully lift the surge board, as shown in Figure 18, from the display and place it on a clean, flat
surface.
6. Follow the steps in reverse order to attach a surge board.
In the display, the signal surge suppression board is an inline device used to filter the current loop data line.
