Route signal cabling to the signal surge arrestor card in the upper left corner of the
driver enclosure. The connections are labeled to permit easy installation. At the
Signal In terminal block on the PCB, connect the red signal wire to the positive
terminal, the black to the negative terminal, and the shield (silver) wire to the shield
terminal.
Note: It is important that the shield
wire is properly connected to the
shield terminal on the signal surge
arrestor card.

Figure 7 (on the previous page)
illustrates the printed circuit board
and the terminal blocks.
For signal cable, Daktronics
recommends, as a minimum,
single-pair, shielded cable, 22
AWG (Daktronics part number W-
1077). Two-pair shielded cable
(Daktronics part W-1614) is
preferred.

Fiber Optic
Another common signal communication
method is using fiber optic cabling. A
minimum cabling of multi-mode; 62.5/125
um; and 2-core fiber cable is recommended.
(Daktronics part number is W-1242.) See
Figure 8 for the location of fiber connector on
the LED driver. (See Drawing A-288137 for
the complete image of the LED driver.)
