Figure 5: Eyebolt Plane Load plane of the eyebolt as shown in Figure 5. Note: Daktronics assumes no liability for damages resulting from incorrect setup or lifting methods. Eyebolts are intended for lifting only. Do not attempt to permanently support the display by the eyebolts.
Scoreboard Mounting An inverted channel mounting installation uses C-channels; clip angles; -13" threaded rods; and " square nuts, hex nuts, lock washers, and optional spacers. Refer to Figure 6 and Drawing A-55101 in Appendix A. Figure 6: C-channel Mounting Method, Side View Mount the scoreboard as follows: Place the C-channel against the upper and lower rear flanges of the scoreboard.
This will typically be scoreboards that are 8" deep. To create a uniform appearance for the overall display, Daktronics recommends using vertical spacers behind the scoreboard so that the front face of the display lines up evenly with the front face of the added component.
Ad Panel Mounting The installation uses C-channels; clip angles; -13" threaded rods; and " square nuts, hex nuts, lock washers, and optional spacers. Refer to Figure 8 and Drawing A-52187 in Appendix A. Figure 8: Ad Panel Mounting with C-channel, Side View Mount the ad panel(s) as follows: Use the width of the beam to determine which hole combination to use for the bolts.
Note: Some users install devices to protect the scoreboard from projectiles. Scoreboard protection devices not provided by Daktronics must be approved by Daktronics prior to installation. Failure to follow this approval procedure will void the scoreboard warranty.
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. Installation Overview The diagram shown in Figure 9 illustrates a typical wireless setup between a single-court tennis scoreboard and the control system.
The diagram shown in Figure 10 illustrates a typical wired setup between a single-court tennis scoreboard and the control system. Daktronics part numbers are shown in parentheses. Figure 10: Wired Installation Power Correct power installation is imperative for proper display operation. The subsections that follow give details of display power installation.
Proper grounding is necessary for reliable equipment operation and protects the equipment from damaging destructive disturbances and lightning. Daktronics recommends a resistance-to-ground of 10 ohms or less. The electrical contractor performing the electrical installation can verify ground resistance. Daktronics Sales and Service personnel can also provide this service.
Figure 12: Driver Enclosure & Power Terminal Block Note: If a power receptacle is needed to operate the control console at the scoreboard for troubleshooting, Daktronics recommends that an installation electrician provides a 120 V outlet close to the disconnect box specifically for this purpose.
(silver) wire to the SHIELD terminal. Figure 14: Signal Surge Arrestor Card For signal cable, Daktronics recommends, as a minimum, single-pair, shielded cable, 22 AWG (part # W-1077). Two-pair shielded cable (part # W-1234) is preferred. When several single-court scoreboards are used together with a multi-court DakTennis™...
16-column driver. This method requires a signal converter between the All Sport console‟s scoreboard output and the fiber optic cable (not provided by Daktronics). Figure 15: Driver Fiber Connection Location Lightning Protection The use of a disconnect near the scoreboard to completely cut all current-carrying lines significantly protects the circuits against lightning damage.

Problem Possible Cause Solution/Items to Check Verify the power/signal connector on the back of the digit circuit board is secure (see Section 5 .3). Bad connection Verify power/signal interconnect(s) between scoreboard sections Scoreboard works, but some properly connected (see Section LEDs do not light or they ...
Component Locations Component location varies with each scoreboard model. Refer to the component location drawings in Appendix A. Drivers and power and signal components are typically mounted inside the scoreboard behind a digit or access panel. There are several ways to locate the access panels: Power Warning Label Look for a power warning label toward the bottom of the access panel (Figure 11).
Replacing Digits LEDs are embedded in a circuit board that is mounted to the back of the digit panel, as shown in Figure 17. Do not attempt to remove individual LEDs. In the case of a malfunctioning LED or digit segment, replace the entire digit circuit board. Figure 17: Digit Assembly To replace a digit circuit board: Open the digit panel as described in Section ...
Replacing Indicators As with smaller digits, indicator circuit boards are mounted to the back of the digit panel. Do not attempt to remove individual LEDs. To replace an indicator: Open the digit panel as described in Section 5 .3. Disconnect the power/signal connectors from the back of the indicator by squeezing together the locking tabs and pulling the connector free.
LED Drivers The LED drivers perform the task of switching digits on and off within the scoreboard. LED drivers are located inside of a driver enclosure. Refer to Figure 18 to view the location and components of a driver enclosure. Driver component arrangement may vary by scoreboard model.
When troubleshooting driver problems, three LEDs labeled DS1, DS2, and DS3 in Figure 19, provide the following diagnostic information: Color Function Operation Summary Green Power Steady on DS1 will be on and steady to indicate the driver has power. Signal RX Steady on DS2 will be on or blinking when the driver is or blinking...
Reconnect all power/signal connectors. Note: The connectors are keyed and will attach in one way only. Do not attempt to force the connections. Ensure the driver is set to the correct address (refer to Setting the Driver Address). Close and secure the digit panel, then power up and test the scoreboard to see if changing the driver has resolved the problem.
Radio Connections To determine the settings for radio connections between the scoreboard and control console: Power off any radio-equipped consoles in the area. Cycle power to the scoreboard, and watch for the radio settings (Figure 21). Figure 21: Radio Settings in Game/Set Digits ...

Component Locations & Access Reference Drawings: Component Loc.; 34mm Red/Amb/Wht LED TNMC G4 ......Drawing B-975100 Component Loc.; 46mm Red/Amb/Wht LED TNMC G4 ......Drawing B-975635 Figure 27 illustrates the component locations of an 8x48-34mm display with all modules removed. This layout will be similar for 8x32-34mm cabinets as well. The 8x64-34mm cabinets require an additional power supply behind the sixth module.
Standard Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards are typically front-accessible, but some models may be ordered with rear service access. For that reason, TNMCs have been designed so that they may be accessed from both the front and rear. Front Access Loosen the latch fasteners on the front face the LED module using a 1/8"...
TNMC Drivers Reference Drawings: Specifications; Driver, MCAST, 4 Col ............Drawing A-793970 Address Details; Outdoor Tennis Scoreboards ........Drawing A-1054089 The display driver receives signal from the control console via a signal surge arrestor card and sends data to the modules. Refer to Section 6 .4 for more information on signal routing. The driver itself is detailed in Drawing A-793970 in Appendix A.
Each module assembly is made up of a module housing (containing LEDs and the driver) and a louver assembly. Individual components such as louvers can be removed for service, but Daktronics recommends that the module be kept intact and that the entire assembly be sent in for repair or replacement.
Figure 32: Module, Rear View Weather-stripping To ensure that the display is waterproof, weather-stripping has been installed around each module. It is important that the weather-stripping is attached properly at all times, or water may leak into the display and damage the components. When installing a new module, take note of the following points: ...
