Signal Installation 

Section 4: 

Signal Installation 

4.1  Signal Installation 

LED Driver 

In the display, the LED driver performs the task of switching digits on and off. One driver at 

each display installation is designated as the host driver (the driver with the antenna/signal 

connection). This driver receives its signal directly from a control unit via the Signal In 

connector (J12, J13, or J14). J12 is used with the FLR-500 and FLR-1500 control kits. J13 is used 

with the FLD-2000 control kit on host drivers and for signal to client drivers. J14 is used with 

the FLR-100 control kit. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Signal Wiring 

Signal termination varies depending upon the type of 

control kit included with the display. Signal from the 

control transmitter/controller communicates with the 

host driver. Signal then travels from J11 (output) on the 

host driver to J13 (input) on the driver of the next face or 

line.  

1.

 

Route cable to J12 (for FLR-500 or FLR-1500), J13 

(for FLD-2000), or J14 (for FLR-100) on the host 

driver within the host display, refer to 

Figure 6

 

for details.  

2.

 

Route the RJ14 cable from J11 OUT on the host driver to the next client display, 

connecting at J13 IN.  

3.

 

Follow step 2 for all displays in the network.
