    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 17: 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. Power Correct power installation is imperative for proper display operation.

  • Page 18: Connection

    Installation with Ground and Neutral Conductors Provided For this type of installation, the power circuit must contain an isolated earth-ground conductor. In this circumstance, do not connect neutral to ground at the disconnect or at the display as this would violate electrical codes and void the warranty. Use a disconnect so that all ungrounded lines can be disconnected.

  • Page 22: Lightning Protection

    For sections that are too far apart to use internal interconnects, the signal may be re-driven, or “daisy-chained”. Typically, the Game Clock section would receive primary signal from the control location, and signal cable could then branch out to the HOME score and GUEST score sections.
