  • Page 26: Front Access

    Note: White 46mm TNMCs built after May 2017 feature power supply enclosures with covers that must be removed to access the power supply. Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards are typically front-accessible, but some models may be ordered with rear service access. For that reason, TNMCs and electronic captions have been designed so that they may be accessed from either the front or rear.
  • Page 27: Rear Access

    Rear Access 1� To access the internal components from the rear, remove the appropriate rear- access panel from the display cabinet by loosening all four of the screws. 2� Slide the access panel sideways and carefully lift it off the loosened screws. Note: Be careful when removing and handling the access panels as internal display components may still be attached to them.
  • Page 28: Diagnostic Leds

    The S2 DIP switch is the component for setting the address (switches #1-4). With switches 1-4 off, the address setting for a TNMC is preset at “221” (16x80 TNMCs use address “231” for HOME and “232” for GUEST). Multi-court tennis scoreboards (and single-court scoreboards controlled by DakTennis) with TNMCs will require different addresses.
  • Page 29: Modules

    Each module assembly consists of a module housing (containing LEDs and the driver) and a louver assembly. 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.
  • Page 30: Weather Stripping

    Weather Stripping To ensure that the display is waterproof, weather stripping has been installed around each module.
