Power Installation

8. Route the signal quick-connect cable from the enclosure to the display through

conduit or through the display pole if power is not also routed in the display pole.

Daktronics strongly recommends the quick-connect cables be secured to protect them from

weather or vandalism.

Displays are equipped with circuit breakers that carry a UL489 or UL1077 (IEC 60947, VDE

660) rating. These devices only protect the components within the display. Suitable devices

must be used for the equipment and feeders supplying power to the display.

3.3 Power Requirements

Do not connect the displays to any voltage other than that listed on the Daktronics product

label.

Conductors of circuits delivering power to a Daktronics display must be sized according to

local and national electrical codes so that the power distribution system can deliver full-load

power to the display while maintaining a voltage within 5 percent of the utility nominal

voltage.

Displays use single-phase power. Proper power installation is imperative for proper display

operation. Power Specifications are found in Appendix A. The following sub-sections

provide details of power installation.

Main Disconnect

Daktronics requires using a power disconnect switch with the display. Use a disconnect

switch so that all ungrounded conductors can be disconnected near the point of power

connection.

The disconnecting means must be either located in a direct line of sight from the display or

capable of being locked in the open position. This ensures that power will not be reconnected

while service personnel work on the display.

3.4 Grounding

Displays must be grounded according to the provisions outlined in all applicable local and

national electrical codes.
