Modules and Drivers


Reference Drawings:

Comp. Layout Diagrams.......................................... Refer to Appendix A

The module and driver board are a single functional unit. To remove a module,
complete the following steps:

1. Locate the latch access fasteners on the module. One is centered below the

top row of pixels and one is centered
above the bottom row.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

4-8

2. With a 1/8"Allen wrench, turn the latch

access fasteners a quarter turn as seen in

Figure 37

on the right. The top one

should be turned clockwise and the
bottom one counter-clockwise.

3. Pull the display module far enough to

reach around the back and disconnect the
ribbon cables and power cable.


When installing a module, reverse the previous
steps and take note of the following points:

The weather-stripping on the back edge
of the module must be intact and in good
condition if it is to prevent water from
seeping into the display.

The module latches must be fully
engaged to create a watertight seal around the edge of the module. The
module should be firmly seated against the display when the latches are
fully engaged.

Each module assembly is made up of a module housing (containing LEDs and the
driver) and a louver assembly.

Power Supplies

The LED power supplies are identified as assemblies in the Component Layout
Diagrams.

The LED power supplies are identified as assemblies.

In displays with 3 LEDs per pixel, each power supply unit controls eight
modules.

In displays with 4 LEDs per pixel, each power supply unit controls four
modules; a power supply assembly (two power supply units) controls eight.

In RG or tri-color displays, each set of power supplies control eight
modules.
