Terms Used in this Manual
Lanyard Attachment Ring: A ring found on the back of each module that attaches to a
lanyard and prevents the module from falling.
Latch Release: Releases the latch that holds the module rmly in the display. The latch is
centered near the top and bottom of the module.
Light Emitting Diode (LED): Low-energy, high-intensity lighting unit.
Line Filter: Removes electromagnetic noise that might interfere with local communication
channels from the power system.
Module: Consists of a display board with LEDs, a driver board or logic card, housing, a
module latch assembly, and a louver. Each module is individually removable from either
the front or back of the display. Module part numbers vary by pixel pitch.
ProLink Router (PLR): The PLR takes data in and then routes that data to other areas in the
sign. There is typically one PLR per display section.
Power Supply: A device that converts AC line voltage from the panel board to low DC
voltage for driver boards. In the 5000 series, one power supply powers two modules, one
controller, or a ProLink Router (PLR).
Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) Cable: Allows high speed signal ow
from device to device. In digital billboards, they run signal from module to module and
from the PLR to the modules.
Termination Block: An electrical connection point, usually used to connect internal
power and signal wires of the same type coming into the display from an external
source.
DMP-8065: Digital billboard control card that sends content to the display. The DMP limits
the display to static content and regulates content hold times.
