Project-specific information takes precedence over any other general information found in this manual. Scoreboard Controllers Daktronics Tuff Sport tennis scoreboards are designed for use with the RC-100 handheld controller. Multi-court scoreboards with optional Team Name Message Centers (TNMCs) require a computer running DakTennis™ software. The RC-100 uses keyboard overlays (sport inserts) to control numerous sports and scoreboard models.
Scoreboard Label Serial and model numbers of a Daktronics scoreboard can be found on the ID label on the display, similar to that shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Display ID Label Please list the model number, display serial number, and the date this display became operational in the blanks provided on the second page of this manual.
Power or signal jack Power or signal plug for the opposite jack Following the Replacement Parts List is the Daktronics Exchange Policy and the Repair & Return Program. Refer to these instructions if replacing or repairing any display component. Product Safety Approval Daktronics Tuff Sport scoreboards are ETL-listed, tested to CSA standards and CE-labeled for indoor use.
Section 2: Specifications The chart on the following pages details all of the mechanical specifications, circuit specifications, and power requirements for each display in this manual. Models are listed in alphanumeric order. Note: All displays require a 120 VAC, 15 A circuit. Displays with a 230 VAC power requirement are also available.
Mechanical installation consists of lifting and permanently mounting the scoreboard or scoreboard sections. Be sure that the installation complies with local building codes. Note: Daktronics does not assume any liability for any installation derived from the information provided in this manual or installations designed and installed by others.
Scoreboard Mounting Due to the variety of wall materials used in sports facilities, Daktronics cannot anticipate a user‟s individual installation needs or provide mounting hardware suitable for every installation. Choose a method of installation that will safely support the scoreboard weight.
Scoreboard Protective Devices Daktronics Tuff Sport displays have been designed so that a normal tennis ball impact will not damage the LEDs or display cabinet, reducing the need for protective devices. Some users, however, may still wish to have additional protection from other projectiles, and in these cases, Daktronics provides optional protective devices.
It is the responsibility of the electrical contractor to ensure that all electrical work meets or exceeds local and national codes. Daktronics engineering staff must approve all changes or the warranty will be void. Power Each court scoreboard section includes two 120 VAC power cords: one for Power In and one for Power Out.
COM port on the DakTennis computer. Note: If the DakTennis computer only has only one or no COM port, it will be necessary to use USB-to-Serial converters (not provided by Daktronics). Connect the other 9-pin serial cable between the DakTennis computer and the J1 jack of a signal converter (part # 0A-1065-0173).
