1.4 Product Overview
DataMaster Gasoline Price displays are part of a family of Daktronics products
designed for easy installation, readability, and reliability. Microprocessor control
assures consistent operation and accuracy. The Gas Price display is illustrated in
Figure 3 below.
The DataMaster Series includes:
Gasoline Price Displays: gas price signs with three standard digits,
decimal, and
9 /
10
fraction.
Rate Displays: two- or four-digit signs, typically used to display
hotel/motel room rates or commodity prices.
Time & Temperature Displays: Automatic time & temp signs capable of
displaying temperatures in Fahrenheit or Celsius (three digits, degree
symbol, and F or C character) and 12- or 24-hour time.
The Gasoline Price displays are available in two styles, a full-cabinet model
designed for standalone use (DF-1020), and a front-insertion, or “drop-in”, model
designed for installation in an existing or custom sign (DF-1021).
DataMaster displays use light emitting diodes to illuminate their numeric digits.
(Light emitting diodes, or LEDs, are tiny, solid-state components that use a
semiconductor to transform electrical current into light; they are high-intensity, low-
energy lighting units.)
The displays feature highly visible PanaView

digits 13", 18", 24", 36" and 48" tall.
(The front-insertion Gas Price model is available with 13", 18" and 24" digits.) All
DataMaster displays are configured with red or amber LEDs.
Because of their LED technology, the displays consume little power, some barely
more than a household lamp. Power usage for individual displays in this series is a
maximum 300 W. All models have a 120 V power requirement.
