Troubleshooting
The following table lists the functions of the various jacks, including those that are
not used in this application.
LED Driver Jack Functions
The display line controlled by the driver is set with a DIP-switch that is set at the
factory before shipment. (Note: Some older drivers use a 12-pin address plug
inserted in J19). Most DataMaster displays ship with the “Line 1” address already
set. Displays that have multiple products or lines in one common cabinet, the proper
address is set during manufacturing.
Replacing a Signal Surge Board
Reference Drawings:
Enclosure Driver, 4 Column Reference....................... Drawing A-183775
Electrical Specification Drawings .............................Refer to Appendix A
Mechanical Specification Drawings..........................Refer to Appendix A
The surge board is mounted inside the display enclosure and behind a digit, but
location and mounting varies by model. Refer to the Electrical and Mechanical
Specification Drawing for the location of your surge board. All displays are front-
accessible.
1. Open the digit panel or display face panel as described in Section 4.2.
2. Remove the cover from the driver enclosure.
3. Disconnect all connectors from the surge board. Release each connector
by squeezing together the locking tabs as you pull the connector free.
Note: When reconnecting, remember that these are keyed connectors and
will attach in one way only. Do not attempt to force the connections.
4. Remove the nuts securing the driver to the inside of the enclosure.
5. Carefully lift the surge board from the display and place it on a clean, flat
surface.
6. Follow the steps in reverse order to attach a new driver.
