Power Installation
Connect a 15 Amp, 120 VAC, two-wire plus earth ground power source to the terminal
blocks within the sign. Terminate the Line and Neutral wires to the terminal block;
terminate Ground to the provided ground bar.
Sign Communication
If a point-to-point communication system is used for all the signs in the system (for
example, a laptop computer connected directly to the sign controller), set the sign
address to the same number in each sign, preferably address 1.
If a multi-drop network is used for communication with multiple signs in the system (for
example, a fiber-optic drop and repeat network), the sign address must be set to a
unique address for each sign.
The rotary switches set the hardware address that the
software uses to identify the particular display. When
replacing a controller board, set the rotary switches
on the new controller to the same address as the
replaced controller. Each controller in a network needs
a unique address. Refer to Figure 7 .
To set the rotary address switches, rotate them
counter-clockwise until the arrow points to the desired
number. The display’s power must be turned off and
then turned back on to activate the test mode or to
change an address.
Note: Setting both rotary switches to address 0 activates Test Mode. Turn the display’s
power off and back on to activate testing.
Default Speeds
The VSLS has default speeds loaded onto the sign controller. Both changeable and
permanent messages are loaded with speeds ranging from 5 to 180, in increments of
five. To display these default messages, refer to the Vanguard
®
Software Help File [F1] .
Conduit Sealing
Fill the ends of the conduit entering the signs with duct seal.
First Time Turn On
After the sign and all other VSLS site equipment are installed, the site must be tested
according to the field test procedure for the sign site. This ensures all equipment is
installed properly and is operational. If a field test procedure is not available, call
Daktronics Transportation Customer Service to obtain a copy.
