Section 7:

Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

This section defines the diagnostic LEDs located on the controller, Multi-line Controller (MLC), and

temperature sensor. Troubleshooting tips are also provided for solving display problems.

7.1 Safety Precautions

Disconnect power when

servicing the display.

Do not modify the display

structure or attach any

panels or coverings to the

display without written

consent of Daktronics.

7.2 Controller

Diagnostics

The controller, shown in

Figure 22, receives

communication from the

computer and sends it to the

MLCs which output it to the

modules. The LEDs on the

controller show whether the

power and communication

signal are working properly.

One or two modules and the

controller enclosure cover

must be removed to access

the controller. Refer to

Section 6.2 for instructions

on how to access display

enclosure.

Remember to disconnect

power to the display before

accessing the interior. However, after removing the modules and wires are found to be safe,

power can be turned on to view the diagnostic LEDs.

A steady flash of about once per second on the DS2 “Run” LED indicates that the controller is

working properly. An increased flash rate indicates that the controller is booting.
