To remove a display digit, follow these steps: Open the display panel as described in Section 4.1. Disconnect the power connector from the back of the digit. Release the connector by squeezing together the locking tabs and pull the connector free. -
Page 25: Segmentation And Digit Designation
Segmentation and Digit Designation Reference Drawing: Shop Drawings ..................Refer to Appendix A In each digit, certain LEDs always go on and off together. These groupings of LEDs are referred to as segments. The Shop Drawings identify the driver connectors controlling the digits. The number displayed in the hexagons in the upper half of each digit, indicate which connector is wired to that digit. -
Page 26: Replacing A Signal Surge Board
DataTime Time & Temp displays use four-column ® drivers which have four outputs to digits. Figure 17 identifies the connector functions. (Major functions are the same on 16-column drivers.) The table lists the 12VDC functions of the various jacks, including those that are Digit 1 not used in this application. - Page 27 It suppresses surges down to a low voltage to protect the display’s controller. Refer to Drawings A-938300 for the location of the surge board inside the driver enclosure. The surge board is pre-wired before the display is shipped. Note: The surge suppressor must be firmly connected to the driver enclosure, and the display must be properly grounded in order to be effective.
