Failure Code

Description

Possible Solution

E1

Protocol Setting Error: There is an

unsupported driver protocol

setting.

Check the value set in the protocol

plug of the driver (J20).

E2

(Not applicable

to Lottery displays)

Time Error: There is no valid time

stored in the driver; it may be a

failure of the real-time clock on

board or other timekeeping

device.

Set the time in the display using the

Set Time menu option on the

DataMaster 100 controller.

E3

(Not applicable

to Lottery displays)

Temp Error: There is no response

from the temp sensor, or general

temp sensor failure.

Check the temp sensor location

and verify all connections. Refer to

the instruction sheet for the CAN

Temperature/Light Sensor

mounting, ED-13364.

Note: The temp sensor takes

approximately 10 seconds to

initialize on power-up. The sign will

display this error until initialization is

complete.

E4

No Message Error: This code is

shown when there are no

messages downloaded to the

display

Download a new message to the

display using the <

DISPLAY

SEQUENCE

> key on the DataMaster

100 controller.

E5

No Line Number Selected Error:

The driver for this line has a

Protocol 4 plug installed in J20,

but there is no address plug

installed in J19.

Set the line number by installing the

correct plug in J19. The Protocol 4

plug designates this driver as the

“host.” If this is not the host, remove

the Protocol 4 plug from J20.

Power On Self-Test:

A useful troubleshooting tool is the power on self-test the host driver performs every
time it powers up:

If the signal wiring between each controller is correct, the first two digits of
each driver will display “Ad” momentarily, and the first digit will then flash
three numbers indicating the decimal address that is set with the address
plug in J19. (If a client driver displays “A ,” followed by “P
,” it is not receiving “signal in,” and is performing its own self-
test.)
