Power Supplies
The LED power supplies are identified as assemblies. Each power supply unit
controls four modules; a power supply assembly (two power supply units) controls
eight. The LED power supplies are identified as assemblies 0A-1289-4011 and 0A-
1289-4012 in the Component Layout Diagram.
Complete the following steps to remove a power supply from the display:
Tools required: 1/8" hex wrench and #2 Phillips screwdriver
1. Remove the module directly in front of the failed power supply.
2. Disconnect and label all the wires connected to the power supply.
3. Remove the hardware holding the power supply in place to free the unit.
4. Follow these steps in reverse order to install a new power supply. Refer to
the display’s Schematic when reconnecting the wires.
Light Detector
The light detector is internally mounted and wired at Daktronics. It is located in the
bottom left corner on the front of the primary display (identified as assembly 0A-
1241-4013 (LT) in the Component Layout Diagram). A 4-conductor cable
connects the light detector to J9 on the controller (refer to your display’s
Schematic). When the displays are mounted back-to-back, only the primary side has
a light sensor.
Modem
If a modem was included with the display, it is located
inside the display next to the controller board.
