Page 21: Mechanical Installation
The columns and footings and all connection details must be designed and certified by a professional engineer licensed to practice in the state in which the scoreboard will be installed. Daktronics does not assume any liability for any installation derived from the information provided in this manual or installations designed and installed by others.
Page 22: Lifting The Scoreboard
The eyebolts are located along the top of the cabinet for 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. Lifting methods are shown in the illustration below and in Drawing A-44548.
Page 23: Scoreboard Mounting
Scoreboard Mounting Use the following table to determine the mounting method required for your scoreboard. BA-618-11, BA-624-11, BA-1018-11, BA-2003-11, BA-2004-11, BA-2005-11, FB-824-11, MS-918-11, MS-2002-11, MS-2004-11, MS-2012-11, SO-824-11, Method 1 SO-918-11, SO-2008-11...

4. Lift the ad panel into position with the bolts still in place. 5. Place mounting angles over each pair of bolts and secure with lock washers and hex nuts. 6. When the panel is adjusted to the final desired position, tighten hex nuts firmly. When mounting ad panels with back sheets, remove the back sheets in the areas above and below the holes drilled in the upper and lower rear flange of the ad panel.
Page 27: Electrical Installation
Refer to the chart in Section 3 to determine circuit specifications and maximum power requirements for the models described in this manual. 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 the digits, cabling and other electronic components.
Page 28: Power Installation
Figure 4: Installation with Ground and Neutral Provided disconnect within sight of or at the display. (Daktronics recommends a lockable, knife-switch disconnect at the scoreboard location so that all power lines can be completely disconnected. Use a multi- conductor disconnect so that all hot lines and the neutral can all be disconnected. This is important in protecting the scoreboard against lightning.)

3. Disconnect power when not using the scoreboard. Cabinet Specifications Cabinets for the Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards are of all-aluminum construction. Exact dimensions and weights for each model are listed in the chart in Section 3. Removable panels for digits and indicators and for component access are detailed in each model's component locations drawing, listed in Section 4.
Page 32: Replacing A Digit
Replacing a Digit The digit circuit board, the platform for the LEDs, is mounted to the back of the digit panel. Do not attempt to remove individual LEDs. In the case of a malfunctioning board, replace the entire digit panel. To remove a scoreboard digit, follow these steps: 1.

Page 34: Lightning Protection
The control console should also be disconnected from power and from the signal J-box when the system is not in use. The same surges that may damage the scoreboard’s driver can also damage the console’s circuit. Replacement Parts Refer to the following table for Daktronics scoreboard replacement parts. Daktronics Description Location Part No.
Page 35: Troubleshooting
Daktronics' unique 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. This not only saves money but decreases scoreboard downtime.
Page 36 Help Desk – (877) 605-1115 – if you have questions regarding the exchange program or any other Daktronics service. When you call the Daktronics Help Desk, a trained service technician will work with you to solve the equipment problem. You will work together to diagnose the problem and determine which exchange replacement part to ship.
Page 37: Team Name Message Center Maintenance
Standard Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards are typically front-accessible, but some models may be ordered with rear service access. Because of that, 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.
Page 38: Signal Summary
Signal Summary Reference Drawing: Control Layout; Outdoor LED TNMC ............Drawing B-107507 Refer to drawing B-107507 for complete information on TNMC signal routing. From signal input from the All Sport controller, routing can be summarized as follows: 1. Data from the display controller travels via cable harness into the display. 2.

Page 40 DIP switches are located on the controller’s MDC (see preceding illustration). These DIP switches set the hardware address that the software uses to identify that particular display. When replacing a controller board, be sure to set the DIP switches in the same address configuration as the defective controller.
Page 41: Modules And Drivers
The controller contains two jumpers (W1 and W2) for use with a modem system. The jumpers must jump both pins for a modem system. Refer to Figure 7 for the location of the jumpers. Removing/Changing the Controller Complete the following steps to remove the controller from the display. 1.

3. If you are accessing the unit from the rear, follow this procedure: While holding onto the module, push it out and turn it in such a manner (generally a sideways, diagonal turn) that it will fit through the frame opening. Then pull the module back through the opening in the fame.
Page 43: Weatherstripping
Weatherstripping To ensure that the display is waterproof, weatherstripping has been provided around the entire display and around each module. It is important that the weatherstripping is installed properly at all times or water may leak into the display and damage the components. TNMC Display Maintenance Complete a yearly inspection to maintain safe and dependable display operation.

Page 131 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 132 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...
