Figure 5: Driver Address Jack J19
Since the same LED drivers can be used for many scoreboard models, each driver must be set to receive the correct signal input, or address, for the model being used. This address is set with jumper wires in a 12-pin plug which mates with jack J19 on the driver (Figure 5).
When setting the driver address, refer to Drawing
A-115078 in Appendix A for a listing of the wire/pin connections for driver addresses 1 – 128.
Note: All scoreboards in this manual should be set to address 11.
In each digit, certain LEDs always go on and off together. These groupings of LEDs are called segments. Drawing A-38532 in Appendix A details which connector pin is wired to each digit segment and the wiring color code used throughout the display.
The electrical and signal specification drawings in Appendix A also specify the driver connectors controlling the digits. Numbers shown in hexagons in the upper half of each digit indicate which connector is wired to that digit.
For advanced scoreboard troubleshooting and repair, it may be necessary to consult the schematic drawings. Drawing A-258626 in Appendix A shows detailed power and signal wiring diagrams of internal display components.
