Reference drawings are grouped and inserted in alphanumeric order in the Appendix. Listed below are a number of drawing types commonly used by Daktronics, along with the information that each is likely to provide. System riser diagrams: overall system layout from control room to display, power and phase requirements.
For example, this manual would be referred to as ED-16963. The serial and model numbers of a Daktronics scoreboard can be found on the ID label on the display. The label will be similar to the one shown in Figure 2. When calling Daktronics Customer Service, please have this information available to ensure that your request is serviced as quickly as possible.
In addition, the following labeling formats might be found on various Daktronics drawings: “TB _ _” denotes a termination block for power or signal cable. “F _ _” denotes a fuse.
Product Safety Approval Daktronics outdoor scoreboards are ETL and CE listed and tested to CSA standard for outdoor use. Contact Daktronics with any questions regarding testing procedures.

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. Daktronics makes available optional devices, including screens and netting, to help protect the scoreboard from damage due to normal ball impacts.

Note: Daktronics strongly recommends using a spreader bar, or lifting bar, to lift the display. Using a spreader bar ensures that the force on the eyebolts is straight up, minimizing lifting stress. Lifting methods are shown in Figure 3 and in Drawing A-44548.
Installation Specifications, BA-1524 ......Drawing A-120972 Installation Specifications, BA-3718 ......Drawing A-126455 Installation Specifications, FB-2002 & FB-2003 ... Drawing A-128044 Daktronics Multi-Section DistaView LED scoreboards are typically mounted to steel beams. Beam-mounted installations require that a qualified engineer provide specifications for both the reinforced concrete footings and the steel support beams.
Position the scoreboard at the front of the beams with the threaded rods extending from the rear of the clamps, straddling the beams. Raise the scoreboard section to the desired height. Slide clamping angles over the ends of the rods and loosely install the washers and nuts.
Multi Driver Display ..........Drawing A-229706 Schematic; XFMR 16 Col, GEN IV, DistaView LED ..Drawing A-286657 Daktronics LED scoreboards have been designed for easy access to components and the power and control signal hookup has been simplified. Front panels are removable to allow access to the digits, cabling, and other electronic components.
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. The display system must be connected to an earth electrode installed at the display.
W-1614) is preferred. For multi-driver displays, the power and signal are connected using inter-connection harness, which is installed at Daktronics. Refer to Drawing A-229706 for more information. For additional information on signal connection, refer to the All Sport 5000 Series control console operation manual, ED-11976.

2. Permit only qualified service personnel to access internal display electronics. 3. Disconnect power when not using the scoreboard. Cabinets for the Daktronics multi-section DistaView LED scoreboards are constructed of heavy-gauge aluminum. Exact dimensions and weights for each model are listed in the chart in Section 2. Removable panels for digits and indicators and for component access are detailed in each model’s component locations drawing, listed...

In the Daktronics multi-section DistaView LED scoreboards, digits are attached to the hinged doors on the front of the scoreboard. Refer to the drawings listed above for more details on each model. Component location varies with each scoreboard model, but drivers and power and signal components are typically mounted inside the scoreboard behind an access panel or a digit.

Schematic; XMFR 16 Col, GEN IV, DistaView LED ..Drawing A-286657 Drawing A-229706 and A-286657 are schematic diagrams for the 16-column driver used in Daktronics multi-section DistaView LED scoreboards. The schematics include power and signal inputs and all wiring for the models described in this manual.
Page 22
In the scoreboard, the LED drivers perform the task of switching digits on and off. Refer to Drawings A-154792 and A-134371. Each driver has 20 or more connectors providing power and signal inputs to the circuit and outputs to the digits and indicators.
The same surges that may damage the scoreboard’s driver can also damage the console’s circuit. Refer to the following table for Daktronics scoreboard replacement parts. Description Daktronics Part No.

Eyebolts Almost every display that leaves Daktronics is equipped with eyebolts for lifting the display. There are two standard sizes of eyebolts: ½″ and ⅝″. Load Increase Factor: The load increases as the lift angle (θ) decreases. The allowable load on the eyebolts also decreases with the lift angle due the bending stress on the eyebolts.
