-11 are outdoor scoreboards, 120 V and they feature red digits; -21 are outdoor scoreboards, 120 V and feature amber digits. Product Safety Approval Daktronics outdoor scoreboards are ETL listed and tested to CSA standards for outdoor use. Contact Daktronics for information regarding testing procedures. Introduction...
Page 9: Model Identification
Section 2: Model Identification Use the following drawings to determine the model number of your scoreboard. The drawings listed here are located in Appendix A: Reference Drawings; where they are inserted in alphanumeric order by drawing number. Individual scoreboard drawings may also be found in the Appendix.
Page 11: Specifications
See Section 8.4 for more details. Signal wires must be a minimum of 22 AWG with shield. Daktronics recommends using W-1614. Models with an –11 or –12 suffix feature red digits and indicators; suffixes –21 and –22 indicate amber digits.

Page 50: Lifting The Scoreboard
The eyebolts are located along the top of the cabinet for each scoreboard or scoreboard section. Note: Daktronics strongly recommends using a spreader bar, or lifting bar, to lift the display. Using a spreader bar ensures that the force on the eyebolts is straight up, minimizing lifting stress.
Page 51: Scoreboard Mounting
If you must use this method, ensure a minimum angle between the chain and scoreboard of at least 45degrees. Note: Daktronics assumes no liability for scoreboard damage resulting from incorrect setup or incorrect lifting methods. Eyebolts are intended for lifting only. Do not attempt to permanently support the display with the eyebolts.

Front panels are removable to allow access to the digits, cabling, and other electronic components.
Page 56: Grounding
Note: Displays MUST be grounded according to the provisions outlined in Article 250 of the National Electrical Code and according to the specifications in this manual. Daktronics recommends a resistance-to-ground of 10 ohms or less. The contractor performing the electrical installation can verify ground resistance.
Page 57: Power And Signal Connection
Figure 6: Power Terminal Block Drawing A-293354. The conventional power termination panel has been eliminated from Daktronics outdoor scoreboards; the power feeder circuit connects directly to a terminal block in the driver enclosure, as shown in Figure 6 above.
Page 58: Fiber Optic
A minimum cabling of multi-mode; 62.5/125 um; and 2-core fiber cable is recommended. (Daktronics part number is W-1242.) See Figure 8 for the location of fiber connector on the LED driver. (See Drawing A-288137 for the complete image of the LED driver.)
Page 59: Interconnect Harness Connections
Interconnect Harness Connections All multi-section football and soccer scoreboards use an interconnect harness as a connection between the digits of the top section and their corresponding driver in the lower section. Typically, one driver runs the top section of the board, while the other driver runs the bottom section, but only the top section digits use the interconnect harness.
Page 60: Multiple Driver Connections

They will be routed through 2 " holes in the scoreboard cabinets and into Section A, where the connectors will plug into the appropriate driver connections.

Exact dimensions and weights for each model are listed in the chart in Section 3. Removable panels for digits, indicators, and component access are detailed in each model’s component locations drawing, listed in Section 4.
Page 62: Replacing A Digit
Remove the nuts and lift the digit off the standoff screws. The push nuts can be removed in several ways, but Daktronics recommends using a " nut driver. 4. Position a new digit over the screws and tighten the nuts.
Page 63: Replacing A Digit Segment
Replacing a Digit Segment Reference Drawing: Digit Assemblies; Gen III & IV LED Digits ......Drawing B-177679 When a digit malfunctions, in most cases it is necessary to replace the entire digit circuit board. Some larger digits (24", 30", 36"), however, are constructed in segments, as shown in Figure 13, and it may be possible to make repairs by removing only the defective segment.

Page 70: Daktronics Exchange And Repair And Return Programs
4. You must send the problem part to Daktronics within 30 days. If you do not ship it to Daktronics within 30 working days from the invoice date, Daktronics assumes you are purchasing the replacement part outright with no exchange. You will therefore be invoiced for the replacement part at the full purchase price, with the balance due upon receipt.
Page 71 The company also reserves the right to refuse parts that have been damaged due to acts of nature or causes other than normal wear and tear. For items not subject to exchange, Daktronics offers a Repair and Return Program. To send a part for repair, follow these steps.
Page 73: Team Name Message Center Maintenance
Section 9: Team Name Message Center Maintenance IMPORTANT NOTES: 1. Disconnect power before doing any repair or maintenance work on the message centers. 2. Permit only qualified service personnel to access the internal electronics of the display. Disconnect power when the scoreboard is not in use. Team Name Message Center System Overview Team name message centers (TNMCs) are available in two sizes: an 8x32 matrix model with four 8x8-pixel modules, and an 8x48 model comprised of six 8x8 modules.
Page 74: Maintenance And Troubleshooting Overview
Standard Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards typically are front-accessible, but some models may be ordered with rear service access. For that reason, Daktronics team name message centers have been designed so that they may be accessed from both the front and rear for easy maintenance and repair of internal components.

4. Remove all power and signal connections from the board. Release “locked” connectors by squeezing together the tabs, and then carefully pulling them from the jack. Label the cables, indicating which cable was removed from which connector; the labeling will be helpful when you replace the board.
Page 80: Power Supplies
Drawings B-126111 and B-126112 illustrate the various module components. 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 81: Weatherstripping
4. Follow these steps in reverse order to install a new power supply. Weatherstripping To ensure that the display is waterproof, weatherstripping has been installed around the entire display and around each module. It is important that the weatherstripping is attached properly at all times, or water may leak into the display and damage the components.

Page 200 Eyebolts Almost every display that leaves Daktronics is equipped with eyebolts for lifting the display. There are two standard sizes of eyebolts: ½″ and ⅝″. Load Increase Factor: The load increases as the lift angle (θ) decreases. The allowable load on the eyebolts also decreases with the lift angle due the bending stress on the eyebolts.
Page 201 F. Eyebolts should never be painted or otherwise coated when used for lifting. Such coatings may cover potential flaws in the eyebolt. G. To attain the safe working loads listed for regular eyebolts, 90% of the thread length must be engaged. Copyright © 1996-2001 ED-7244 Daktronics, Inc. Rev. 4 – 14 March 2001...
