Segmentation and Digit Designation

Reference Drawing:

Segmentation, 7 Segment Bar Digit ........................................................ Drawing A-38532
Shop Drawings ................................................................................... Refer to Appendix A

In each digit, certain LEDs always go on and off together. These groupings of LEDs are

referred to as “segments.” Drawing A-38532 illustrates digit segmentation. It also details

which connector pin is wired to each digit segment and the wiring color code used

throughout the display.

The Shop Drawings identify the driver connectors controlling the digits. The number

displayed in the hexagons in the upper half of each digit, indicate which connector is wired

to that digit.

Replacing an LED Driver

Reference Drawing:

4 Column MASC LED Driver Specifications .......................................... Drawing A-166216
Shop Drawings ................................................................................... Refer to Appendix A

Drivers are mounted inside the display enclosure and typically behind a digit, but location

and mounting varies by model. Refer to the Shop Drawings for the location of the driver. 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. Label all cables before removing them.
