Later sections include diagnostic and parts replacement information, along with the instructions for obtaining parts from Daktronics Customer Service. Definitions of terms are provided in Section 5.3. A DakTicker display is shown in Figure 1.
Read and understand these instructions before installing. • Be sure that the display is properly grounded. • Disconnect power when servicing the display. • Do not modify the display structure or attach any panels or coverings to the display without the written consent of Daktronics. Introduction...
• Daktronics engineering staff must approve any changes made to the displays. If any modifications are made, detailed drawings of the changes must be submitted to Daktronics for evaluation and approval or the warranty may be void.
Remember to have all mounted displays inspected by a qualified structural engineer. Ceiling Mount Splice bars, provided by Daktronics, have 3/8"-16 UNC holes that can be used to secure the ticker displays from a ceiling or other overhead structure. Use the middle hole only when using the splice bars for mounting.

Section 4: Signal Installation To display messages on a KE-1010 display, signal is sent from the computer to the ticker via one of two possible network systems: RS-422 or Ethernet. Signal is received by the controller board inside the master section of the ticker. The controller board processes the data and relays it to the shift card. The shift card relays signal to the modules, then the appropriate LEDs create the messages which scroll across the ticker display.

RS-422 Pin-outs The controller’s RS-422 jacks have the following pin-outs: INPUT (J4) RJ11 Function N.C. D1OUT-P D1OUT-N D1IN-P D1IN-N N.C. OUTPUT (J5) RJ11 Function N.C. D2OUT-N D2OUT-P D2IN-N D2IN-P N.C. Signal Converter Pin-outs The signal converter has two RS-422 output jacks, with the following pin-out: OUTPUT RJ45 Function...
Ethernet Connections For DakTickers using an Ethernet system for communication, a network connection will be made from the network hub or switch to the master section. The Cat-5/Cat-5E cable has a typical maximum length of 100 meters (approximately 300 feet). The controller has an onboard Ethernet port with a default address that will need to be reconfigured to an address on the local network.

Section 5: Maintenance and Troubleshooting This section covers the basic maintenance needed to keep the display operating effectively. Also included are diagnostic and troubleshooting information to pinpoint display problems and provide solutions. Following this are definitions of terms used in the manual. •...
Visual Structural Inspection At least once a year, check the display to make sure that the structure and components are in good condition. Inspect the paint and cabinet for corrosion. Make sure that fasteners are tight; if not, tighten or replace as required. Troubleshooting This chart lists some symptoms that may be encountered with the ticker displays.
Shift Board: Relays the signal from the controller board to the first module and then between ticker sections. Signal Converter: A Daktronics supplied unit that converts the data from RS-232 to RS-422. The signal converter is connected to the control PC via a straight through serial cable.

Removing the Face Panel The internal components of the KE-1010 displays may be accessed after the face panel and modules are removed. Refer to Figure 19 for a visual diagram of the steps involved in removing the face panel. Never attempt to lift the entire display or carry the face panel using the suction cups.
Instructions for Replacing Parts LED Module Replacement To remove and replace an LED module: 1. Disconnect the main supply power to the section being serviced. 2. Remove the face panel as described in Section 6.2. 3. Each module is held in place by 5/16”hex nuts at six locations.
Power Supply Replacement Power to the LED modules is provided by +5 VDC power supplies. To remove a power supply: 1. Disconnect the main supply power to the section requiring service. 2. Remove the face panel per Section 6.2. 3. Remove the LED module in front of the failed power supply. Refer to the appropriate Component Layout Drawing for the location of the power supplies.
Controller Replacement The controller is mounted inside the master display on the back of the cabinet (Figure 24). It is typically located behind the second module from the right end. The display controller receives information from the ticker input, interprets it, and activates the corresponding LEDs.

Electrical and Signal Information WARNINGS: • Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. • Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telphone line has been disconnected at the network interface. • Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
Mounting Instructions The signal converter can be either wall or table mounted. Do not mount the signal converter from the ceiling or the underside of a table. To mount the signal converter, refer to drawing B-200645. Secure the signal converter using a screw through the mounting holes at the back of the enclosure.
