The eyebolts are located along the top of the cabinet of each scoreboard or scoreboard section. 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.
45°. Note: Daktronics assumes no liability for scoreboard damage resulting from incorrect setup or incorrect lifting methods. Note: Eyebolts are intended for lifting only. Do not attempt to permanently support the display by the eyebolts.

Schematic; TN-2010 & TN-2011........Drawing B-185759 Schematic; TN-2037-11, -21........Drawing B-193461 Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards have been designed for easy access to components, and the power and control signal hookup has been simplified. All four tennis scoreboards described in this manual are accessible from the front only.
Daktronics recommends a resistance-to-ground of 10 ohms or less. The 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.
Figure 5: Power Terminal Block panel, shown in Drawing A-178197. The conventional power termination panel has been eliminated from Daktronics outdoor scoreboards; the power feeder circuit connects directly to a terminal block in the driver enclosure, as shown in Figure 5. The terminal block is located in the lower right corner of the enclosure.

For most Daktronics outdoor scoreboards, digit panels have been simplified. They are held in place on the display face by an offset flange across the top and by a single screw at the bottom.
Replacing a Driver Drivers are typically mounted inside the scoreboard and immediately behind a digit, but location and mounting varies with the model of the scoreboard. For the location of your scoreboard driver, refer to the component locations drawings in your scoreboard manual.
Drawing B-181793 is the schematic diagram for the models TN-2018, TN-2029 and TN-2032 tennis scoreboards. Drawing B-185759 is the schematic for models TN- 2010 and TN-2011. The schematic for model TN-2037 is shown on Drawing B- 193461. Also listed is the schematic for the 16-column driver used in the displays.
Troubleshooting Daktronics scoreboards require little maintenance. However, from time to time, a display may malfunction, and certain display components will have to be repaired or replaced. The table on the following page provides a list of problems common to most LED displays and specifies corrective actions.
Your scoreboard service may advise you to call Daktronics directly, or your facility may not have an area or regional service provider. In service, note any problem-area assembly numbers, as shown on the scoreboard final assembly drawing.
Rapid Parts Exchange Program and a Repair and Return Program. Daktronics' unique Rapid Parts exchange program is a quick, economical service for replacing key components in need of repair. If a component fails, Daktronics sends the customer a replacement, and the customer, in turn, sends the failed component to Daktronics.
Page 32
This bill, which represents the exchange price, is due when you receive it. Daktronics expects immediate return of an exchange part if it does not solve the problem. The company also reserves the right to refuse equipment that has been damaged due to acts of nature or causes other than normal wear and tear.

Section 6: Team Name Message Center Maintenance IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. Disconnect power before doing any repair or maintenance work on the message centers! 2. Permit only qualified service personnel to access the internal electronics of the display. Disconnect power when the scoreboard is not in use. 6.1 Team Name Message Center System Overview Team name message centers (TNMCs) are available in two sizes: an 8x32 matrix model with four 8x8-pixel modules, and an 8x48 model comprised of six 8x8...
6.2 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Overview Standard Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards typically are front-accessible, but some models may be ordered with rear service access. For that reason, Daktronics team name message centers have been designed so that they may be accessed from both the front and rear for easy maintenance and repair of internal components.
• Data exits at J42 via current loop harness, and connects with P43 at the TNMC controller assembly. An interconnect harness carries the signal to the first module, and the signal relays from module to module, in daisy- chain style, until it reaches the last module on the message center. 6.4 Power Summary Reference Drawings: Schematic, Red TNMC, Gen IV........Drawing A-252681...

Removing/Changing the Controller Reference Drawings: Exploded Front View; Single Panel Module..Drawing B-126111 Exploded Rear View; Single Panel Module ..Drawing B-126112 Component Locations; 832/848 Red/Amb LED TNMC, G4 ......Drawing A-257029 Drawing A-257029 indicates the location of the TNMC controller for each of the TNMC models.
Note: To access the controller from the rear of the TNMC, as shown in Figure 14 above, remove the appropriate rear-access panel from the TNMC by loosening all four of the screws. Slide the access panel sideways to the larger part of the keyhole and carefully lift it off the TNMC. Take care not to drop the panel, and remember that the module controller is attached to the panel.
Drawings B-126111 and B-126112 illustrate the various module components. 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.
Weatherstripping To ensure that the display is waterproof, weatherstripping has been installed around the entire display and around each module. It is important that the weatherstripping is attached properly at all times, or water may leak into the display and damage the components.

Eyebolts Almost every display that leaves Daktronics is equipped with eyebolts for lifting the display. There are two standard sizes of eyebolts: ½″ and A″. 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.
Page 90
F. Eyebolts should never be painted or otherwise coated when used for lifting. Such coatings may cover potential flaws in the eyebolt. G. To attain the safe working loads listed for regular eyebolts, 90% of the thread length must be engaged. Copyright 1996-2001 ED-7244 Daktronics, Inc. Rev. 4 – 14 March 2001...
