Reference Drawing: System Riser Diagram ..................C-1007804 Daktronics identifies manuals by the DD or ED number located on the cover page of each manual. For example, this manual would be referred to as ED-13145. Daktronics Nomenclature Most components within this display carry a white label that lists the part number of the unit.
Section 2: Specifications The table below lists all of the mechanical specifications, circuit specifications, and power requirements for the MS 2013. Scoreboard Only: Dimensions (Height, Width, Depth) 2'-10" H x 4'-4" W x 8" D (864 mm, 1.32 m, 203 mm) With Cart (minimized for transport/storage): 3'-4"...
Some assembly is required, however, for certain scoreboard options. Cart Assembly Reference Drawings: Mechanical Specifications, MS-2013 ..............A-159886 Cart Assembly ....................... A-159889 The display cart (Figure 4) comes standard with two wheels, but may use four if ordered. Cart assembly requires the following pieces of hardware: ...
Ad Panel A custom advertising/school logo panel may be added to the MS-2013. Threaded inserts in the top of the scoreboard cabinet allow attachment using only three screws. The 12" H x 52" W (305 mm, 1.32 m) aluminum panel runs the full width of the scoreboard. Drawing A- 160057 in Appendix A illustrates the ad panel installation.
Section 4: Electrical Operation The MS-2013 can be powered by two different electrical systems: a standard 120 VAC power source and/or enclosed lead-acid batteries. Power & Signal Access Power and control connections for the MS-2013 are located in a compartment on the rear of the scoreboard (Figure 5).
Signal Reference Drawings: System Riser Diagrams- MS-2013-11 ..............A-160237 The MS-2013 can receive control signal three different ways, described below. Refer also to Drawing A-160237 in Appendix A for diagrams of each of these control setups. Setup 1 (Standard): A wireless RC-100 handheld controller communicates with a radio base station installed inside the scoreboard.
Radio Receiver Installation, MS-2013 ..............A-160015 Base Station: Outdoor Installation ................. A-236394 System Riser Diagram: RC-100- MS-2013 ............A-244926 Installation Drawing; Outdoor Scbd Gen VI Radio Receiver ....... A-1109181 The RC-100 base station and All Sport radio receiver are typically held in place with adhesive-backed, hook-and-loop fastener strips, and when ordered as original equipment may already be installed.
Power-On Self-Test (POST) The scoreboard performs a self-test each time that power is turned on and the control console is powered off or not attached to the scoreboard. If the control console is attached and powered on, the self-test does not run, and data from the control console is displayed on the scoreboard after a brief period of time.
Section 5: Battery Care & Charging This section describes care and operation of the MS-2013 on-board battery charging system. On-Board Charger Reference Drawing: Electrical Specifications. MS-2013 ................ A-159887 On a full charge, the two internal batteries provide enough power for approximately 14 hours of normal operation.
Page 18
The ChargePro 28210 charger, shown in Figure 8, is a 2 bank, 10 A, 12/24 VDC output charger with an input of 120 VAC. It is microprocessor controlled and has a maintenance mode that will keep the batteries fully charged. The charger is fully automatic and can be connected to the twin 12 V lead-acid batteries indefinitely without risk of overcharging.
If the in-line 10 A, 32 VDC fuse in either cable blows due to improper connection to a battery, replace the fuse with an identical 10 A fuse only (Daktronics part # F-1006). Never replace a blown fuse with a higher-value fuse.
Charger Troubleshooting Table Problem Cause Solution It seems to take a long time The charger has overheated due Consider moving the display to to recharge the batteries in to poor air circulation and has a shaded location. hot weather. reduced its output. Load test the battery and One or more defective or replace if necessary (see...
Some of the safety considerations are not applicable to the sealed batteries provided with the MS-2013 as those batteries are self-contained and cannot be opened, and they are safer than automotive batteries that require servicing. Exercise caution, however, when working with any lead-acid battery.
DC Connection Precautions Check the polarity markings on the battery. Attach the positive ring terminals (red or white wires with fuse) from each cable on the charger to the positive (+) terminals of the batteries. Attach the negative ring terminals (black wires) from each cable on the charger to the negative (-) terminals of the batteries.
If a problem occurs that is not listed or that cannot be resolved using the solutions in the following table, contact Daktronics using the information provided in Section 7. Problem...

Problem Possible Cause Solution/Items to Check Check that the green POWER and amber RADIO IN RANGE indicators on the radio receiver in the scoreboard light up when the control console is powered on. Keep the console between 20-30' (6-9 m) from the scoreboard.
Reference Drawing: Electrical Specifications, MS-2013 ................ A-159887 In the MS-2013, the entire back panel is hinged on the right side (as viewed from the rear). To gain access to the internal scoreboard components, simply remove the three screws securing the back panel to the scoreboard cabinet, and swing it open. Drawing A-159887 in Appendix A illustrates the back panel open and all of the internal components exposed.
Reference Drawings: Segmentation, 7 Segment Bar Digit ................ A-38532 Electrical Specifications, MS-2013 ................ A-159887 In each digit, certain LEDs always go on and off together. These groups of LEDs are called segments. Drawing A-38532 in Appendix A details which connector pin is wired to each digit segment and the wiring color code used throughout the scoreboard.
When troubleshooting driver problems, several LEDs provide diagnostic information. The number of LEDs and their function depends on the driver type. Note: While it is necessary to have the scoreboard powered on to check the LED indicators, always disconnect scoreboard power before servicing. 16-Column “Gyrus”...
As the batteries age, they may lose capacity to sufficiently operate the scoreboard, even on a full charge. When replacement becomes necessary, Daktronics recommends the same brand battery installed as original equipment. Similar batteries may be used as long as they meet the specifications for the scoreboard.
Horn Reference Drawing: Electrical Specifications, MS-2013 ................ A-159887 A 12 V buzzer horn is mounted in the upper-left corner of the front face panel (as viewed from the front). Drawing A-159887 in Appendix A shows the horn location from the front as well as when accessing internal components from the rear.
