5500. Refer to schematic drawings and ED- 12224 (see www.daktronics.com/manuals). Component Locations and Access Component location varies with each display model. Refer to the component location drawings attached to the product specification sheets listed in Appendix A. For component locations of Modular and Hybrid Football Scoreboards, refer to the tables in Appendix A.
Scoreboard Digit panels are held in place on the display face by an offset flange across the top and by Face Panel screws at the bottom, as shown in Figure 5. To open a digit panel: Digit 1� Hold the digit panel in place by putting Digit Panel hand pressure on it and remove the holding screws.
Replacing Digit Segments Digits that are 24" or larger are composed of seven circuit board segments. The digit segment circuit boards are mounted to the back of the digit panel (Figure 7). Do not attempt to remove individual LEDs; it may be possible to make repairs by removing just the defective segment.

Several models contain more than one driver to accommodate all of the digits and indicators. Refer to the component location drawings in Appendix A to determine the type and number of drivers for a particular model.

Setting the Driver Address Reference Drawings: Address Table; Rotary Switches H and L ............DWG-1198765 Since the same LED drivers can be used for many display models, each driver must be set to receive the correct signal input, or address, for the model in which it is being used.

Note: If replacing the 1000 W power supply (Daktronics part # A-1856R) does not seem to resolve the problem, try replacing its circuit board (part # 0P-1337-2000). This circuit board also contains fuses for each output jack.

**** Use for 36" and 48" digits built prior to May 2016. The entire digit panel must be replaced and requires a power supply harness adapter (0A-1192-0411). Refer to Section 4: Daktronics Exchange and Repair & Return Programs (p�28) for information on exchanging or returning parts.

Troubleshooting The table below lists potential problems with the display and indicates corrective actions. This list does not include every symptom that may be encountered, but it does present several of the most common situations that may occur. Problem Solution/Items to Check Check/replace the ribbon cables on the module.
Display signal routing can be summarized as follows: 1� Data from the All Sport console (or DakTennis software) travels via cable harness into the scoreboard. 2� The signal travels to the driver/power enclosure through the J1 connector on the signal surge card. 3�...
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.
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.
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.
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.
Weather Stripping To ensure that the display is waterproof, weather stripping has been installed around each module. It is important that the weather stripping is attached properly at all times, or water may leak into the display and damage the components. When installing a new module, take note of the following points: •...
Fill out and attach the enclosed UPS shipping document. c� Ship the part to Daktronics. 3� The defective or unused parts must be returned to Daktronics within 5 weeks of initial order shipment� If any part is not returned within five (5) weeks, a non-refundable invoice will be presented to the customer for the costs of replenishing the exchange parts inventory with a new part.
Repair & Return Program For items not subject to exchange, Daktronics offers a Repair & Return Program. To send a part for repair, follow these steps: 1� Call Daktronics Customer Service� United States & Canada: 1-800-DAK-TRON (325-8766) Outside the U.S. & Canada: +1-605-275-1040 2�...
