The DataMaster Lottery models detailed in this manual are part of a family of outdoor displays designed to offer simple installation, easy readability, and reliability. Solid-state components and microprocessor control assure consistent operation and accuracy. The three-digit Lottery sign is illustrated in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2: DF-1060-60

Intended for use in highway and city signs and billboards, the Lottery displays include several models: DF-1060-60, DF-106 0-48, DF-1060-36 and DF-1060-24. All have the same layout: three LED digits separated by LED decimals. They are distinguished from one another by their overall size and by the height of their digits.

Introduction 1-3

The displays use red or amber LEDs – light emitting diodes – to illuminate the digits.

Ds are tiny, solid-state components that use a semiconductor chip to transform

(LE electrical current into light. They are high-intensity, low-energy lighting units.) Because of their LED technology, the Lottery displays consume little power – barely more than a household lamp. Maximum power usage for all three models in this series is 300 W.

Cabinets for the displays are constructed of heavy-gauge aluminum. Cabinets are typically black to m Digit faceplates are black, and they are set directly into the cabinet surface.

Refer to Sec specifications.

The Lottery displays have been designed for use with the Daktronics DataMaster 100 hand-held controller. The device uses a keypad overlay (called an insert) for display control, and the Data Master displays themselves operate without modification on All Sport Daktronics software and the appropriate interface.

Section 2: Mechanical and Electrical

Installation

Mechanical installation typically consists of installing concrete footings and steel beams and mounting the display and any accompanying panels to the beams.

Electrical installation consists of the following processes:

 Providing power and ground to a disconnect near the display.  Routing power and ground from the main disconnect to the display driver/power

enclosure.

 Connecting the display ground to a grounding electrode at the sign location.  Routing the control signal cable from the control location to the sign location.

While Data Master outdoor digit displays are designed for wall or pole mounting, every installation wil method. Most DataMaster models have finished exteriors, for example, but other models are designed to be inserted into an existing sign cabinet and require a custom installation. Lottery displays have a fully finished cabinet, but they are designed to be used as part of larger sign or billboard.

The engineering drawings referenced above describe several mounting methods, from a si

ngle display on a single column support to multiple displays stacked above one another in a two-pole installation. The drawings include welding and hardware notes that will be applicable for most installations.

Figure 3, below, illustrates two lifting methods. The illustration shows both the preferred method (left example) and an alternative method (right example) for lifting a display. Be sure to use every lifting point provided.

Figure 3: Lifting the Display

Eyebolts are intended for lifting during installation only. Do not attempt to permanently support the display by the eyebolts.

Note: Daktronics assumes no liability for display damage resulting from incorrect setup or incorrect lifting methods.

In installations in which an ad panel or some other display section may be added to the base display, the lower section is installed first and secured to the support beams, and then the upper section is placed atop or above the lower sign section and attached to the beams. There may be cables extending from the top of the lower section. Guide these cables into the hole in the bottom of the upper section for later connection.

Installers may remove the lift eyebolts once the display is in place. Inspect the top and sides of the display for any holes or openings that may allow moisture to enter the display, and plug and seal those openings with silicone or another waterproofing sealant.

2.2 Electrical installation

Electrical installation consists of the following processes:

 Providing power and ground to a disconnect near the display.  Routing power and ground from the main disconnect to the display

driver/power enclosure.

 Connecting the display ground to a grounding electrode at the sign location.  Routing the control signal cable from the control location to the sign

location.

Note: Only qualified individuals should perform power routing and termination to

the display. It is the responsibility of the electrical contractor to ensure that all electrical work meets or exceeds local and national codes.

2-2 Mechanical and Electrical Specifications

Power

Reference Drawing:

Schematic; 16 Col Multipurpose LED Drvr..................Dra

Daktronics DataMaster displays have been designed for easy access to components, and the power and control signal hookup has been simplified. Front panels are hinged to allow access to the digits, cabling, and other electronic components.

Correct power installation is imperative fo

r proper display operation. The subsections that follow give details of display power installation. Only qualified individuals should attempt to complete the electrical installation; untrained personnel should not attempt to install these displays or any of the electrical components. Improper installation could result in serious damage to the equipment and could be hazardous to personnel.

DataMaster outdoor displays require a dedicated, 120 V circuit for incoming power. Th

e display itself has no breakers or fuses.

WARNING: It is critical th

at the display circuit be fused at 15 A, and that all conductors used must be designed to pass a 15 A current in normal operation. Failure to meet wiring and overcurrent protection device requirements is a violation of the National Electrical Code

and will void the display warranty.

Mechanical and Electrical 2-3 Specifications

The material for an earth-ground electrode diffe

rs from region to region and may vary according to conditions present at the site. Consult the National Electrical Code and any local electrical codes that may apply. The support structure of the display cannot be used as an earth-ground electrode. The support is generally embedded in concrete, and if it is in earth, the structural steel is usually primed or it corrodes, making it a poor ground in either case.

Power Installation

There are two considerations for power installatio

n: installation with ground and neutral conductors provided, and installation with only a neutral conductor provided. These two power installations differ slightly, as described in the following paragraphs:

Installation with Ground and Neutral Conductors Provided. For this type of in

stallation, the power circuit must contain an isolated earth-ground cond uctor. In this circumstance, do not connect neutral to ground at the disconnect or at the display. This would violate electrical codes and void the warranty. Use a disconnect so that all hot lines and neutral can be disconnected. The National Electrical Code requires the use of a lockable power disconnect within sight of or at the display.

Installation with Only a Neutral Conductor Provided. Installatio

ns where no grounding conductor is provided must comply with Article 250-32 of the National Electrical Code. If the installation in question meets all of the requirements of Article 250-32, the following guidelines must be observed:

• Connect the

grounding electrode cable at the local disconnect, never at the

display driver/power enclosur e.

• Use a

disconnect that opens all of the ungrounded phase conductors.

Host/Client Definitions and Address Settings

Reference Drawings:

Host/Client Definitions 16 Col. MASC Driver Spec

In sign systems with multiple displays, one driver at each sign installation is designated as the “host driver.” This driver receives its signal directly from the controller on the Signal In terminals, and it is the only driver that is connected to the photo/temp sensor. The Signal Out terminals are used to connect to “client drivers.” Refer to Drawing A-185236 for an illustration of the client/host driver display setups.

Select the host driver by inserting the Protocol 4 plug into the 5-pin protocol jack (J2

0.) Refer to Drawing A-184475.

The 12 V DC terminals connected to the host driver (see Figure 4) run to the controller junction box. This output is used to power the DataMaster 100 controller.

All other drivers in the display system are client drivers. from the host driver on the Signal In terminals and can re-drive this signal to other “client drivers” on the Signal Out terminals.

The address of each driver is set using t is based on that driver's position in the sign or display system. If a single-line sign is used, the address will typically be address “1.” This is the default address plug that is shipped with each display. In a multiple-sign display, the address plug determines which line of information is shown on the drivers' digits. The address plug for each line is included in the address plug kit, if applicable.

Displays in the DataMaster series use a photosensor to regulate sign dimming functions. (Dimming involves decreasing overall display intensity, both for better display viewing and to prolong LED life. The brightness level should be highest during the day to compete with daylight, and lower at night.)

The light sensor is typically installed at the factory. However, if field installation is necessary, use Drawing A-183775 and the following instructions to mount the photo sensor in your DataMaster Rate display. If the sign or sign system has more than one display, install the light sensor in the host display only.

1. Unfasten the latch screws on

the middle digit and open the hinged access door. The light sensor will be mounted to the panel between the first and second digits. The exact location will be shown on each of the electrical specifications drawings listed above.

2. Locate and remove the

plastic plug from front panel of the display, as shown in Figure 6. The location of the plug varies by model. Refer to the mechanical specifications drawings for model-specific information.

3-2 Display Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Replacing a Digit Segment

When a digit malfunctions, in most cases it is necessary to replace the entire digit circuit board. Some larger digits (36", 48", 60"), however, are constructed in segments, as shown in Figure 9, and it may be possible to make repairs by removing only the defective segment. As with smaller digits, the digit segment circuit boards are mounted to the back of the digit panel. Do not attempt to remove individual LEDs.

To remove a digit segment, follow these steps:

1. Open the digit panel as described

2. Disconnect the 2-pin or 4-pin

Display Maintenance 3-3 and Troubleshooting

Replacing a Driver

Drivers are mounted inside the display and immediately behind a digit, and with the Lottery displays, the driver enclosure is located immediately behind the center digit.

Each driver is enclosed with a power suppl Before a failed driver can be reached, the enclosure must be accessed. Follow these steps:

1. Open the digit panel or display face panel as described in Section 3.2.

2. Remove the cover from the driver enclosure.

Some DataMaster displays have their own built-in troubleshooting mechanism. Failu

res that may occur in the display driver are described using codes. In the event a sign malfunctions, a failure code registers by displaying an “Ex” value on the first two digits of the display. “E” simply indicates an error, and the letter “x” represents the actual code number. Refer to the following table for a description of each failure code and for possible solutions. Not all error codes are applicable to all displays.

Note: Th

e LCD screen on the DataMaster 100 controller will not show the failure codes described in the following table. Failure codes will be displayed only on the Data Master sign.

Power On Self-Test:

A useful troubleshooting tool is the power on self-test the host driver performs every time it powers up:

 If the signal wiring between each controller is correct, the first two digits of

each driver will display “Ad” momentarily, and the first digit will then flash three numbers indicating the decimal address that is set with the address plug in J19. (If a client driver displays “A <number>,” followed by “P <number>,” it is not receiving “signal in,” and is performing its own selftest.)

 Nex

t, the first two digits of each line will display “Lx”, where “x” is the line

number that the driver is set to control (set with address plug).

 Finally, each line

will display “1234…” according to the column number of each of its digits. Every line should show “1” on the left-most digit, and all digits should be numbered consecutively from left to right. If this is not the case, either the wrong address plug is installed, or the driver or digit harness is connected incorrectly.

If there is no address plug in the host driver, client drivers will continually cycle through the power on self-test.

3.7 Lightning Protection

The use of a disconnect near the display to completely cut all current-carrying lines significantly protects the circuits against lightning damage. The National Electrical Code also requires it. In order for this device to provide protection, the power must be disconnected when the display is not in use. The control console should also be disconnected from power and from the signal j-box when the system is not being used. The same surges that may damage the display's driver can also damage the console's circuit.

Riser Diagram, Indoor Wire Control............................ Drawing A-175342

In almost all cases, the DataMaster Lottery displays will be controlled from a location inside a building, either by direct wire or by modem, but they may also be controlled from the base of the display. Drawings A-164988 and A-175342 and the subsections that follow provide greater details on installations using signal wire.

4-2 Control System Overview

For display systems using a base-of-sign connection, the DataMaster 100 controller, shown with a connecting cable in Figure 12, plugs directly into an outdoor junction box, where the operator keys in instructions for the sign. Typically, the j-box is mounted to the display pedestal or column support, and the controller connects with the box via TIA/EIA-232 signal cable (formerly RS-232). The controller draws its power from the display itself. Refer to Drawings A-175342 and A-164988 for complete details on both indoor and outdoor direct-wire installations.

Signal from the junction box enters the sign and travels to the first display driver over 2-pair, shielded signal cable. The 22 AWG cable must be enclosed in conduit. Re-driven signal travels from

Figure 12: DataMaster 100 Controller with Signal Cable

the driver of the first display to the driver of the next over another line, also 22 AWG shielded cable in conduit. The process repeats for as many displays as there are in the system.

Once instructions have been input into the display, the driver's memory retains the data, and the controller can be unplugged. The sign will continue to operate on the stored information.

Signal cabling is similar for systems where the Data Master displays will be operated remotely from a building location, except that the controller requires a wall pack transformer. The transformer plugs into both the hand-held controller and into a 120 V AC outlet, as shown in Figure 13. The DataMaster controller also connects to a junction box to send signal to the display, but the j-box will be located within the store or office. The control location can be up to 2,000 feet from the actual sign.

The operator changes the display by entering current lottery numbers and operating instructions on the keypad of the DataMaster controller. For complete details on sign operation, refer to Section 5.

Figure 13: Wire Control from Building Location

Control System Overview 4-3

Modem and Radio Control

A third "wired" method of relay information to the display is by using a dial-out modem system and a telephone line. A modem junction box is required for this operating system. Most DataMaster Lottery displays will be controlled by modem. For basic information on installing a modem, refer to Sec Modem Installation Manual, ED-13953, provides complete information on modem systems, including cable routing and j-box installation.

Optional DataMaster bidirectional radio permits control of any DataMaster displ ay with

out the use of a direct-wired connection between the DataMaster 100 and the

display. Because radio is optional with DataMaster displays, the receivers and transmitters must be field-installed.

For additional information for either of these options, please contact your Daktronics account repres

DataTime®/DataMasterTM FAQ

The following frequently asked questions (FAQ) list was designed to provide DataTime or DataMaster display owners with answers to common questions as well as additional troubleshooting information. Reviewing this FAQ list before calling the Daktronics Custom er Service Help Desk will result in a better, more complete information exchange.

Note: This FAQ refers to specific sections in following installation and operation man uals.

DataTime Outdoor LED Display Series:

Q. How do I know which driver is the “host” (that is, which driver connects to the

DataMaster

A. All driver boards are identical until you install the Protocol 4 plug. The driver

containing the Protocol 4 plug becomes the host. (Refer to the section titled Power and Signal Connection of the manual.)

Q. Which driver do I connect the temperature and light sensor to? A. Connect the sensor to the host driver only (the driver that is connected to the

DataMaster 100 controller).

. I have a price display with multiple lines. Which line do I put the host driver

on?

A. You can designate any driver as the host driver by installing the protocol plug in jack

J20. Be sure to set the line number of each driver by installing the correct address plug. Use the Signal Out terminals of this display to go to the driver on the next line. Connect signal to all other displays using the Signal Out terminals of the previous line. (Refer to the section titled Power and Signal Connection of the manual.)

Q. I powered up the display for the first time, and nothing happened; no digits lit

up or anything. What’s wrong?

A. First, open the display containing the host driver (the driver connected to the

DataMaster 100 controller). Is the green LED labeled POWER illuminated? If not, the driver is either not getting 24 V DC, or there is a problem with the power supply circuit on the driver board. If there is 24 V DC on J17, and J17 is secure, the driver is defective. If the POWER LED is illuminated, check the protocol and address settings.

™

100 controller)?

Check to make sure that the protocol plug is loaded in J20 of the host driver. The protocol plug should be installed only on the host driver (the driver connected to the DataMaster 100 controller.)

If the host driver has power and the proper protocol and address settings, it will always display something on power-up (it may be just an error code). If this does not resolve the problem, the driver is probably defective. You can try swapping the host driver with one from a different display. Make sure that the host driver always has a protocol plug installed on J20.

Q. My sign is displaying “Ex” (x is a number). What’s wrong? A. The driver displays error codes for common problems; refer to the Troubleshooting

section of the manual to resolve the problem.

Q. My sign is displaying garbage. What’s wrong? A. Most likely the protocol and/or address plug settings are incorrect. The protocol plug

should be installed in jack J20 only on the host driver (the driver conn ected to the DataMaster 100 controller). (Refer to the Power and Signal Connection section of the manual.)

Q. I don’t want to show __ (°C/°F/time) on my Time & Temp display. How do I

remove this?

A. Use the DataMaster 100 controller to set the hold time for this item to 0.0.

Q. When I try to set the hold times on my Time & Temp display to less than 1.1

seconds, it doesn’t work. Why?

A. DataTime displays with driver software versions earlier than 2.0 did not support hold

times of less than 1.1 seconds. Versions 2.0 and newer do not have this issue.

Q: I just connected my DataTime display, and instead of showing temp, it shows an

error message. What's wrong?

A: Refer to Drawing A-166883 for temp sensor jumper settings and LED indicator

information. Refer to Drawing A- 16 6 21 6 for the 4-column MASC LED driver (or appropriate 8- or 16-column driver specifications) for troubleshooting information. The CAN RX and CAN TX LEDs should blink once every few seconds. If both LEDs are on constantly, suspect the wiring between the MASC LED driver and the temp/light sensor.

Q: I have a multiple line display and all lines of the display show the information

set on the first line. How do I get the correct information on each line of the display?

A: The line number for the display is set using address plug J19. All displays ship with

an address plug that defaults to Line 1. The install kit includes a set of 12-pin Mate-

™

N-Lok they should be installed. If a driver is located inside a display on a line other than Line 1, remove the Address plug and install the corresponding plug to the line of price data you would like to show.

plugs that are labeled with the line number of the display driver to which

Q: My Time and Temp display doesn’t keep accurate time. Every month I have to

reset the time. What’s up with that?

A: Signs shipped before 4/29/03 may exhibit this problem. It can be corrected by

installing a 60Hz reference retrofit kit (0A-1279-0283), and updating the driver software to version 3.0 or newer.

The following table lists problems that have been found with older versions of the display driver software. If you see this problem, look at the version label on the MASC driver. If the version is earlier than the one listed in the fix column, this driver needs to be sent back for reprogramming. Contact Daktronics Customer Service:
