Shop Dwg, Mounting Details....... Drawing A-49278 Component Numbering, CH-1421V ..Drawing A-106020 An illustration of the overall system layout for the CH-1421V is shown in Drawing A-38865. A typical installation depicting beams, footings, and wiring conduit is illustrated in Drawing A-49278.
Daktronics assumes no responsibility for displays installed by others. Daktronics recommends that W-sections of grade 36 steel be used for beams, and that 28-day (strength 3000 psi) concrete be used for footings.
For the display, two conductors of 24 AWG are needed. For distances up to 600 ft. or 22 AWG, up to 1000 ft. are required. Daktronics has 24 AWG direct burial cable, Daktronics part no. W-1105 with 6 conductors, and 22 AWG cable that must be pulled through the conduit before burial, Daktronics part no.
