Daktronics DataTime Outdoor LED Time & Temperature Displays - Manual (Page 11)

Connecting the Temperature Sensor
After properly locating the sensing device, follow these steps to connect it with the display:
1. The temperature sensor is equipped with outdoor-rated cable that has a four-pin
quick-connect plug on the end. Route the cable from the sensor to the back of
display.
2. A four-pin quick-connect jack located on the back panel of the display connects the
sensor cable to the display. Refer to the Shop Drawing for the exact location of the
jack on a particular model. Simply plug in the sensor cable and tighten the connector
collar to the display. An internal cable, factory-installed, runs from the sensor jack to
the TB1 connector on the driver inside the housing.
3. Secure any additional cable to prevent the quick connect plug from being pulled out
of the display and to protect it from weather or vandalism.
Note: The temperature sensor is equipped with 25 feet (7.6 m) of cable. If necessary, the cable
can be cut to shorten and re-terminated. In addition, the cable can be extended by using a
four-conductor shielded cable to a distance of 750 feet (230 m). When not using the provided
weather-resistant cable, the cable from the sensor to the display needs to be in conduit.
Connection to the Sensor
If it is necessary to reconnect the wires to the temperature sensor terminal block, refer to
Figure 6 and the table for the correct connections.
Note: Make sure the power is off before making any
connections.
