Figure 18: Grounding


A minimum of one grounding electrode must be installed for each display face. The
grounding electrode is typically one grounding rod for each display face. Other
grounding electrodes as described in Article 250 of the National Electric Code may
be used. Daktronics requires that the resistance to ground be 10 ohms or less. If the
resistance to ground in higher than 10 ohms it will be necessary to install additional
grounding electrodes to reduce the resistance. The grounding electrode should be
installed within 25 feet of the base of the display. The grounding electrode must be
connected to the ground terminal in the display panel board.

Power Installation

There are two considerations for power installation: installation with ground and
neutral conductors provided and installation with only a neutral conductor provided.
These two power installations differ slightly, as described in the following
