    ACCESING CONNECTORS AND SWITCHES The ToughSmartMarquee has an Access/Cover plate on its backside. This is a gasketed cover plate with two sealed grommets for power and communication cables. The gasket and the grommet seal must be intact to retain NEMA 12 rating. Once you remove the cover plate by removing the four access screws on the plate, you have access to wiring terminals required for marquee communication.

    CONNECTING POWER The Marquee’s power input is 110-220VAC @ 50-60Hz. Three terminals are provided for connecting operating power to the unit. These terminals are located on the Control Board (see the figure 2.2 below). Power Input terminals are labeled L1, L2, and chassis ground (8). Always connect the ground terminal to the safety ground.
