Controller Address and Test Mode

Before a display can be run in a sign network, it must
have an address. The display address can be set using
“DIP” switches located on a PC board known as the
MDC. The MDC is the circuit card mounted in the
lower right corner of the controller board.

Figure 30: Location of DIP
Switches

Locate the DIP switches on the MDC. They should be
on the bottom end of the card. Refer to Figure 30 on
the right for a picture of the DIP switches.

When replacing a controller board, be sure to set the
DIP switches to the same address configuration as the
defective controller. The DIP switches follow standard
binary code.

Note: By setting the DIP switches to address 0 (flip all
the switches toward the numbers on the circuit board),
a test mode can be activated. The display’s power must
be downed, and then reconnected to run the test mode.
