Figure 19: Power Termination Box

The transformer is located in the upper portion of the power
termination box as

Figure 19

shows. To replace the

transformer, first disconnect and label all the wires attached
to it. Turn off power to the display before removing the
wires.
Then release the hardware, securing it to the inside of
the enclosure. Position the new transformer in its place, and
tighten it down. Re-connect all the wires using Drawing B-
222321
as a reference.

RFI Filter

The RFI electrical filters are mounted within the power
termination box. Like the transformer, first removing all
connecting wires, and then releasing the attachment hardware
can replace the filters. Install the new filter using Drawing
B-222321
as a wiring reference.

Controller

The controller sends data to the modules. Refer to the signal summary in Section 4.2
for more information.

Figure 20

illustrates a typical controller.

The Rotary switches set the hardware address, which the software uses to identify
that particular display. When replacing a controller board, be sure to set the rotary
switches in the same address configuration as the defective controller. Each
controller in a network needs a unique address.

Note: Setting the rotary switches to address 0 (set the switches to 0 by rotating them
counter clockwise until the arrow points to 0) can activate a test mode. The display’s
power must be turned off, and then turned back on to run the test mode.
