Page 43: Service Procedures
Service Procedures Reference Drawings: Lens Removal, Front Access..............Drawing A-99898 Lens Assy Removal, Front................ Drawing A-99899 Correct Lens Position, 1 2" ............... Drawing A-75204 Removing a Module For many maintenance or repair procedures, the first step is to remove a module. Each 8x16 lens assembly is secured to the frame by two spring-loaded latches, one on each side.
Page 44: Removing A Lampbank
Removing a Lampbank The lampbank is attached to the lens assembly with a metal tab at each corner. To remove the lampbank: 1. Push in the clips while gently pulling the lampbank out. 2. Repeat this step for the three remaining corners. Lampbanks should be serviced in a static- free area to prevent static electricity from damaging the components.
Page 45: Individual Lamp Replacement
Lamps not built to Daktronics specifications will not perform as well, will not give the intended results, and will adversely affect the beauty of the display.
Page 46: Weatherstripping Maintenance
Louver Maintenance If display louvers become bent or damaged, they must be replaced. The lens/reflector assembly containing the damaged louvers should be returned to Daktronics for repair or replacement. Lamp Module Transformer Displays with team name message centers are shipped with transformers which, when wired to the 120 volt tap with a line voltage of 120 volts, will deliver 11.0 volts to the lamp.
Page 47: Filter Removal
If a filter media shows evidence of damage or wear, replace the filter with a Daktronics filter. If a filter other than the Daktronics standard filter is used, follow these criteria: refer to Section 9.14 for the part number of the filter.
Page 48: Fans
Fans Fans are provided to control the heat buildup generated by the electronic components. One cooling fan is provided for three modules (8x16 display modules). Check fans after the display has been in operation for 1,500 hours-and every 1,500 hours thereafter-to ensure the display is being cooled properly.
Page 49: Structural Inspection
1. Direct smoke toward the fan inlet and observe where the smoke exits. 2. Check all around the cabinet and the lenses. 3. If smoke does not exit a particular group of lenses, remove the lenses to clean out any debris, replace the lenses and re-test.

Page 151 Eyebolts Almost every display that leaves Daktronics is equipped with eyebolts for lifting the display. There are two standard sizes of eyebolts: ½″ and A″. 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 152 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...
