Daktronics DataTime Outdoor LED Time & Temperature Displays - Manual (Page 34)

6.3 Time & Temperature Display Operation
The DataMaster 100 controller can be configured to program time and temperature
information displayed on the LED DataTime Time & Temp display. The instructions
provided in this section discuss the functions the operator uses to control the display. In the
unlikely event that the Time & Temp display malfunctions, refer to Section 4.2 for
troubleshooting actions that may be taken.
Connect to the display through either the indoor or outdoor J-box, set the time and date and
send changes to the display.
Note: You will need to do this infrequently, since the display will automatically keep track of
time. The time on the display should be accurate (even through a loss of power for several
days). Use this function when a s has just been installed or to correct time due to long power
outages.
There is more than one way to get to certain LCD screens on the DM-100. One way is by
using the menu and then using the arrows to reach the desired location, and the other is to
set the time, date, and then continuing to enter through to the additional screens.
Time & Temperature Display Setup
To configure the DataMaster 100 controller for use with Time & Temp displays, use the
<CLEAR/SET FUNCTION> key on start-up. The following text will be displayed on the
LCD during start-up:
Daktronics, Inc.
Brookings, SD
DataMaster 100
ED-13374 VX.X
The controller will then list the “Current Function.” If it is Time and Temp you can continue,
otherwise at the next frame: “Current Function? Press Set Function” you need to press
<Clear/Set Function> and use the <↑↓> to select Time and Temp.
Note: Press the <Clear/Set Function> key quickly to enter the Function mode. If you miss
this step, unplug the power to the DataMaster controller and start again.
SELECT FUNCTION
TIME AND TEMP
↑↓
Press the arrow up or down key <
↑↓> until the
Time and Temp option is shown. Press the
<ENTER> key to accept.
Note: The actual Time & Temperature values will not be displayed on the DataMaster 100
LCD because these values are kept in the display itself.
