MS-2018-11 or the statistics digit section in the FB-2006-11). Fasten the brackets to the modules by inserting 10-24 x 5/8" screws through the holes in each bracket and threading into the captivated nuts in the back of the module.
Refer to the following sections for details of display power installation. Daktronics outdoor 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 digits, cabling, and other electronic components.
The display system must be connected to an earth electrode installed at the display. Proper grounding is necessary for reliable equipment operation. It also protects the equipment from damaging electrical disturbances and lightning. The display must be properly grounded, or the warranty will be void. Refer to the schematic, Drawing A-177931, for information on where to connect the grounding wire.
V power receptacle. There is no 120 V receptacle in Generation III displays. If you want power to operate the control console at the scoreboard for troubleshooting, Daktronics recommends that you have the installation electrician provide a 120 V outlet close to the disconnect box specifically for this purpose.
Figure 4 on the previous page illustrates the PCB and the terminal blocks. For signal cable, Daktronics recommends, as a minimum, single- pair, shielded cable, 22 AWG (Daktronics part number W-1077). Two-pair shielded cable...

Power terminates at the power terminal block in the driver tray. Refer to Drawing A-177931 for wiring termination details. The signal wires from the scoreboard controller connect directly to the signal surge arrestor card, which is located on the lower left side of the master driver on the driver tray.
3. Disconnect power when not using the scoreboard. Cabinet Specifications Cabinets for Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards are constructed of heavy-gauge aluminum. 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 Section 5.2 below.
The digits are secured to the inside of the panel with fixed machine screws, spacers, and push nuts. Remove the nuts and lift the digit off the standoff screws. (The push nuts can be removed in several ways, but Daktronics recommends using a " nut driver.) Position a new digit over the screws and tighten the nuts.
Output connectors 1 through 16 each have nine pins. Pin 7 provides power (hot) to the digit or indicators wired to that connector. The other eight pins provide switching connections. For the scoreboard to receive signal and function properly, the driver must be set to the correct address.
Segmentation and Digit Designation Reference Drawing: Digit Service, Stackable Scoreboards ......Drawing A-156994 In each digit, certain LEDs always go on and off together. These groupings of LEDs are referred to as segments. The Digit Segments A-G detail on Drawing A-156994 shows which connector pin number is wired to each digit segment, as well as the wiring color code used throughout the display (illustrated at lower left on drawing).
