CORNER GAS Face Displays Figure 2: Face with FL-5000 Displays Safety Precautions • Please read and understand installation instructions before installing. • Do not disassemble control equipment or electronic components of the display; failure to follow this safeguard will void the warranty.
The customer must also ensure the installation meets local standards. • Daktronics is not responsible for installations, the mounting structure or its structural integrity, or for the quality of the mounting hardware used to attach the displays to the support structure. Structure and attachment must conform to all applicable local and national building codes.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting Important Notes: • Visit Daktronics Support videos at www.youtube.com/daktronicssupport. • Disconnect power before any repair or maintenance work is done on the display. • Only qualified service personnel should access internal display electronics. Display Troubleshooting This chart lists some symptoms that may be encountered with the displays. For each symptom, possible causes and corrective actions are indicated.
Disconnect power when the display is not in use. • The electrician installing the displays must provide some parts required for installation such as screws, wire nuts, electrical tape, etc. Daktronics does not provide these items. Most display components have a white label that lists the 0P-1127-0024 part number in bold as shown in Figure 12.
In most circumstances, the replacement part will be invoiced at the time it is shipped. If the failed part or replacement part is not returned to Daktronics within three weeks of the ship date, Daktronics will assume that the customer is purchasing the replacement part and will send an invoice for the value of the new sale part.
