  • Page 13: Display Power

    The material of an earth-ground electrode differs from region to region and varies with conditions present at the site. Consult local grounding codes. Daktronics does not recommend using the support structure as an earth-ground electrode; concrete, primer, corrosion, and other factors make the support structure a poor ground.

  • Page 14: Power Termination At The Termination Panel(S)

    The disconnect mechanism must be located in direct line of sight from the display it controls. This allows workers to keep the disconnect mechanism in view while performing display maintenance. Power disconnects capable of locking in the open position may be located in an out-of-sight location. The customer or contractor is responsible for conduit and wire unless stated otherwise on the contract-specific documentation.

  • Page 15: Power Redundancy

    Power Redundancy Reference Drawing; Layout & Block Diagram ....................Contract Specific Redundant power is included in the system using an N+1 power supply redundancy configuration for protection against module power failure. If a power supply fails, the redundant power supply provides backup power to the affected module.

  • Page 16: Testing

    Standard Control System Standard data redundancy provides a primary and redundant fiber connection between the display controller (DMP-8065 or VIP-5060) and the PLR. If the primary fiber connection fails, the redundant takes over. Testing To test the module redundancy wiring, locate the contract-specific Signal Interconnect Drawing to verify where the PLRs are located within the display.
