    Clamping to Verticals An inverted channel mounting installation uses C-channels; clip angles; -13" threaded rods; and " square nuts, hex nuts, lock washers, and optional spacers. Refer to Figure 6 and Drawing A-55101 in Appendix A. Mount the scoreboard as follows: Place the C-channel against the upper and lower rear flanges of the scoreboard.
  • Page 16: Welding To Horizontals

    Welding to Horizontals Steel clip angles are first bolted to the back of each scoreboard section. These clip angles are then welded on three sides to a horizontal tube, which itself has been welded to the support beams. Refer to the sections below for suggested horizontal tube spacing. Models BA-2001 &...
  • Page 17 Model BA-2018 Figure 9 shows the spacing of the horizontal tubes for BA-2018 scoreboards. The horizontal tubing must have a vertical dimension (height) of 4" (102 mm).

  • Page 19: Scoreboard Protective Devices

    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.
  • Page 21: Electrical Installation

    It is the responsibility of the electrical contractor to ensure that all electrical work meets or exceeds local and national codes. Daktronics engineering staff must approve all changes or the warranty will be void. Installation Overview The diagram shown in Figure 12 illustrates a typical wired setup between a multi-section outdoor scoreboard and controller.
  • Page 22: Power

    The diagram shown in Figure 13 illustrates a typical wireless setup between a multi-section outdoor scoreboard and controller. Daktronics part numbers are shown in parentheses. Figure 13: Wireless Installation Power Correct power installation is imperative for proper display operation. The subsections that follow give details of display power installation.
  • Page 23: Grounding

    Proper grounding is necessary for reliable equipment operation and protects the equipment from damaging destructive disturbances and lightning. Daktronics recommends a resistance-to-ground of 10 ohms or less. The electrical contractor performing the electrical installation can verify ground resistance. Daktronics Sales and Service personnel can also provide this service.
  • Page 24 Figure 15: Driver Enclosure & Power Terminal Block Note: If a power receptacle is needed to operate the control console at the scoreboard for troubleshooting, Daktronics recommends that an installation electrician provides a 120 V outlet close to the disconnect box specifically for this purpose.
  • Page 25: Power-On Self-Test (Post)

    Note: Be sure to properly connect the shield (silver) wire to the SHIELD Figure 17: Signal Surge Arrestor Card terminal. For signal cable, Daktronics recommends, as a minimum, single-pair, shielded cable, 22 AWG (Daktronics part number W-1077). Two-pair shielded cable (part W-1234) is preferred.

    Note: If the panel is not held in place when the screws are removed, it could drop and possibly damage LEDs or the digit harness. With a non-digit access panel, simply remove the top, side and bottom screws holding it in place.
  • Page 31: Replacing Digit Segments

    Replacing Digit Segments Some larger digits (24"/30") are constructed with individual circuit board segments. As with smaller digits, the digit segment circuit boards are mounted to the back of a digit panel (Figure 21). It may be possible to make repairs by removing just the defective segment.
  • Page 32: Led Drivers

    LED Drivers The LED drivers perform the task of switching digits on and off within the scoreboard. LED drivers are located inside of a driver enclosure. Refer to Figure 22 to view the location and components of a driver enclosure. Figure 22: Driver Enclosure Location &...

    When troubleshooting driver problems, three LEDs labeled DS1, DS2, and DS3 in Figure 23, provide the following diagnostic information: Color Function Operation Summary Green Power Steady on DS1 will be on and steady to indicate the driver has power. Signal RX Steady on DS2 will be on or blinking when the or blinking...
  • Page 34: Setting The Driver Address

    Ensure the driver is set to the correct address (refer to Setting the Driver Address). Close and secure the digit panel, then power up and test the scoreboard to see if changing the driver has resolved the problem. Setting the Driver Address Since the same LED drivers can be used for many scoreboard models, each driver must be set to receive the correct signal input, or address, for the model being used.
  • Page 35: Radio Interference

    For more information, refer to the Gen V Radio Installation Manual ED-13831, available online at www.daktronics.com/manuals. To locate the radio receiver, look for the antenna sticking out the front of the scoreboard, typically between the STRIKE and OUT digits (Figure 25).
  • Page 36 The radio receiver has a plastic cover. Three status indicator LEDs are visible (Figure 26). Note: While it is necessary to have the scoreboard powered on to check the LED indicators, always disconnect scoreboard power before servicing. Remove the four screws using a #2 Philips screwdriver and lift off the cover.

  • Page 38: 5.13 Daktronics Exchange And Repair & Return Programs

    The Daktronics Exchange Program is a quick, economical service for replacing key components in need of repair. If a component fails, Daktronics sends a replacement part to the customer who, in turn, returns the failed component to Daktronics. This not only saves money but also decreases equipment downtime.
  • Page 39: Repair & Return Program

    In most circumstances, the replacement part will be invoiced at the time it is shipped. If the failed part or replacement part is not returned to Daktronics within 3 weeks of the ship date, Daktronics will assume that the customer is purchasing the replacement part and will send an invoice for the value of the new sale part.

    Figure 32: Discontinued 8x48-46mm TNMC with Modules Removed Standard Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards are typically front-accessible, but some models may be ordered with rear service access. For that reason, Daktronics TNMCs have been designed so that they may be accessed from both the front and rear.
  • Page 46: Rear Access

    Rear Access To access the internal components from the rear, remove the appropriate rear-access panel from the TNMC by loosening all four of the screws. Slide the access panel sideways to the larger part of the keyhole and carefully lift it off the TNMC.
  • Page 47 Figure 35: 4 Column MCAST Driver For TNMCs Built Before September 2009 The TNMC driver receives signal from the control console via a signal surge arrestor card and sends data to the modules. Refer to Section 6.4 for more information on signal routing. The driver itself is detailed in Drawing A-166216 in Appendix A.
  • Page 48: Diagnostic Leds

    Each module assembly is made up 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 49: Weather-Stripping

    To replace a module from the rear: Follow the steps in the Rear Access method described in Section 6.5. Use a 1/8" hex wrench or " nut driver to loosen the latch fastener assembly (Figure 43). Turn each fastener a quarter-turn clockwise (if using a nut driver, turn the top latch counter-clockwise and the bottom latch clockwise).
