Installing an RJ Connector
Installing an RJ connector on the end of the conductor cable is a
simple task when the correct tools are used. The RJ crimping tool
(Daktronics part number TH-1033) performs two separate steps.
Figure 20:
Wire with Outer
Jacket Stripped
First, use the crimping tool to strip the outer insulation from the
inner wires. This does not result in bare wires since only the gray
outer jacket is removed. After correct stripping, the wire will appear
as shown in
Figure 20
on the right.
The crimping tool is then used to crimp the RJ connector onto the cable. The RJ
connector is locked into a special socket in the tool. The stripped wire is inserted into
the RJ connector. Finally, the tool is squeezed like pliers to crimp the connector onto
the wire. This completes the installation of an RJ connector onto the wire.

Daktronics does not include the conduit. Refer to
Shop Drawings
for approximate
locations of power and signal conduit. You must use separate conduit to route:
•
Power
•
Signal IN wires
•
Signal OUT wires (if another sign requires signal)
Locate the conduit holes at the bottom right (rear view) of the back of the sign (refer
to the
Shop Drawings
).
Punch or drill out the desired conduit openings.
Be careful not to damage any
internal components
. Attach the conduit, and route the power and signal cables.
Refer to
Drawing B-163291
and
Drawing B-163293
for a picture of the power and
signal termination panels.
For signs with more than one face, signal and temperature sensor wiring between
signs can route through the same conduit.

If the display needs openings for the power and signal, punch out the knockouts in
the lower right corner from the rear. Refer to the
