Drawing A-222578 Daktronics LED baseball scoreboards are part of a family of scoring and timing displays designed to offer easy installation, readability and reliability. Microprocessor control assures consistent operation and accuracy.
Page 11: Model Names
The BA-2001 and BA-2008 are available with an 8x32-matrix TNMC, while BA-2002, BA-2009 and BA-2018 may be equipped with a larger, 8x48 message center. Section 6 offers step-by-step information on TNMC maintenance and troubleshooting.
Page 13: Specifications
The models are listed in the tables in alphanumeric order. Note: Signal wires must be a minimum of 24 AWG (shielded 2-conductor). Daktronics recommends using W-1234. Displays require 120 V A C, 15 A circuit. Displays with a 230 V A C power requirement are also available.

Page 19: Mechanical Installation
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. Footings and Beams Reference Drawings: Shop Drawing;...
Page 20: Horizontal Beams
Figure 4, below, shows the spacing of the horizontal beams for the BA-2002 and BA-2009. The horizontal beams themselves must have a vertical dimension (height) of 4". The bottom of the first horizontal beam is level with the bottom of the scoreboard and is considered the zero mark for measuring the other two horizontal beams.
Page 21: Model Ba-2018
The eyebolts are located along the top of the cabinet for each scoreboard or scoreboard section. 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.
Page 22: Scoreboard Mounting
Eyebolts are intended for lifting only. Do not attempt to permanently support the display by the eyebolts. In typical multi-section installations, as with BA-2002, BA-2009 and BA-2018 the lower scoreboard section is installed first and secured to the support beams, and then the upper section is placed atop or above the lower section and attached to the beams.
Page 23: Welding To Horizontals
Welding to Horizontals Drawing A-83301 illustrates the mounting of the display to horizontal beams. Steel clip angles are bolted to the back of each scoreboard section. These clip angles are welded on three sides to the horizontal beam structure Review the illustrations of the mounting hardware in Drawing A-83301, and then use the following procedure for each section.

Page 25: Clamping To Verticals
Clamping to Verticals Figure 8, below, illustrates a no-weld, clamping method for the baseball scoreboards. For additional mounting details, refer to Drawing A-89234. Mount the scoreboard as follows: Determine where to drill the holes in the rear flanges of the scoreboard perimeter extrusion.
Page 27: Electrical Installation
Schematic; BA-2018 ............ Drawing B-221946 Power specifications for the baseball scoreboard are listed in Section 2. Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards have been designed for easy access to the 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.
Page 28: Grounding
Note: Displays MUST be grounded according to the provisions outlined in Article 250 of the National Electrical Code and according to the specifications in this manual. Daktronics recommends a resistance-to-ground of 10 ohms or less. The contractor performing the electrical installation can verify ground resistance.
Page 29: Power And Signal Connection
All power and signal wiring terminates at the driver enclosure. Drawing A-178197 illustrates the 16-column driver used in Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards. To gain access to the driver enclosure, open the access door or digit panel and remove the cover from the enclosure.

In each digit, certain LEDs always go on and off together. These groupings of LEDs are referred to as segments. Drawing A-38532 illustrates digit segmentation. It also details which connector pin is wired to each digit segment and the wiring color code used throughout the display.
Page 40: Replacement Parts
Replacement Parts Refer to the following table for Daktronics scoreboard replacement parts. (Refer to Section 6 or to the appropriate manual for a listing of parts required for the service of optional message centers.)
Page 41: Daktronics Exchange And Repair And Return Programs
Exchange Program Daktronics unique Exchange Program is a quick, economical service for replacing key parts in need of repair. If a part requires repair or replacement, Daktronics sends the customer a replacement, and the customer sends the problem part to Daktronics.
Page 42: Repair And Return Program
This bill, which represents the exchange price, is due when you receive it. 4. You must send the problem part to Daktronics within 30 days. If you do not ship it to Daktronics within 30 working days from the invoice date, Daktronics assumes you are purchasing the replacement part outright with no exchange.

Section 6: TNMC Maintenance for BA-2001, 2002, 2008 and 2009 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.
Page 46: Maintenance And Troubleshooting Overview
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.

2. The signal then travels through the driver/power enclosure to the J1 connector on the current loop interface card. 3. 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.

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 120 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...
