4.3 Controller Address and Test Mode

The controller has a set of “DIP” switches on
the side of the controller as shown in Figure
18. These DIP switches set the hardware
address. When replacing a controller board,
be sure to set the DIP switches in the same
address configuration as the defective
controller. Turn power off and then back on to
recognize the new address.

Controller DIP Switches

Note: Setting the DIP switches to address 0
(turn all the switches to OFF by flipping them
toward the printed switch numbers) can
activate a test mode. The display’s power
must be downed and then reconnected to run
the test mode.
