Page 6: Introduction
Daktronics displays are built for long life, and require little maintenance. However, from time to time, certain display components will need replacing. The Replacement Parts List in Section 4.11 provides the names and numbers of components that may need to be ordered during the life of the display. -
Page 7: Display Overview
Shop Drawing; AF-3165-8-32 High-34-RGB ....Drawing B-172745 Shop Drawing; AF-3165-40-48 High-34-RGB ..... Drawing B-172746 Daktronics AF-3165 Galaxy displays are designed and manufactured for performance, reliability, easy maintenance and long life. The pixels have a 34mm center-to-center spacing, and are lit using LEDs (light emitting diodes). -
Page 8: Component Identification
Component Identification The following illustrations depict some of the more commonly accessed Galaxy display components. Because Daktronics occasionally alters standard design to meet customer needs, the actual display design may very slightly from the illustrations below. This is only a brief overview. Refer to Section 4 for additional information on maintaining the various display components. -
Page 9: Figure 2: Signal Converter (Rs232 To Rs422 Shown)
® Galaxy : Daktronics trademarked name for LED monochrome, tri-colored or RGB matrix displays. Network: A network consists of multiple displays connected to each other. Up to 240 displays can exist on one network. Power Supply: converts AC line voltage from the load center to low DC voltage for one or more module driver boards. -

Page 11: Mechanical Installation
Section 2: Mechanical Installation Notes: Daktronics does not guarantee the warranty in situations where the display is not constantly in a stable environment. Daktronics engineering staff must approve any changes that may affect the weather-tightness of the display. If any modifications are made, detailed drawings of the changes must be submitted to Daktronics for evaluation and approval, or the warranty may be void. -
Page 12: Ventilation Requirements
Ventilation Requirements Reference Drawings: Shop Drawing, AF-3165-8-32 High-34-RGB ......B-172745 Shop Drawing, AF-3165-40-48 High-34-RGB ......B-172746 Fans are mounted in the bottom of the display and to the back sheet for ventilation. Maintain a minimum distance of 3" (7.62cm) below the display to maintain proper airflow. Refer to the appropriate shop drawing for additional information. -
Page 13: Display Mounting
Daktronics recommends using all clip angles as attachment points. Carefully uncrate the display. Look each side of the display over for damage during shipping. -
Page 14: Optional Temperature Sensor Mounting
Optional Temperature Sensor Mounting The optional temperature sensor is mounted separately and requires a location away from the influence of chimneys, air conditioners, vents, tar roofs, concrete and parking lots which can cause abnormal temperature fluctuations. Usually a separation of at least 20 to 30 feet horizontally and eight feet vertically is required to achieve this. -
Page 15: Electrical Installation
Only a qualified individual should terminate power and signal cable within this Daktronics display. The Daktronics engineering staff must approve any changes made to the display. Before altering the display, submit detailed drawings for the proposed modifications to the Daktronics engineering staff for evaluation and approval or the warranty will be rendered null and void. -
Page 16: Control Cable Requirements
Connector RS-232 This cable is a 2-conductor shielded cable used to transmit an RS-232 signal (Daktronics part number W-1117). This shielded cable should not be subjected to mechanical flexing after installation. This cable is not for direct burial and should be routed in a dedicated, grounded metallic conduit at the base of the sign structure. -
Page 17: Fiber Optic
Fiber Optic This cable is a 4-fiber cable (Daktronics part number W-1376). Two fibers are used for display communications and the other two are saved for spares. The cable may be either direct burial or routed in conduit but it should not be subjected to mechanical flexing. The maximum length of a fiber optic cable is 2,000 feet (611.6 meters). -

Page 19: Power
120VAC or 120/240 VAC single-phase power source. Depending on the module color and display size the power supply may vary. Do not connect the displays to any voltage other than that listed on the Daktronics product label. Proper power installation is imperative for proper display operation. The following sub-sections give details of display power installation. -
Page 20: Power Installation
Other grounding electrodes as described in Article 250 of the National Electric Code may be used. Daktronics recommends that the resistance to ground be 10 ohms or less. If the resistance to ground in higher than 10 ohms it will be necessary to install additional grounding electrodes to reduce the resistance. -
Page 21: Power Connection
Installation with Only a Neutral Conductor Provided Installations where no grounding conductor is provided must comply with article 250-32 of the National Electrical Code. If the installation in question meets all of the requirements of article 250-32, the following guidelines must be observed: ... -
