Figure 1 illustrates the Daktronics drawing numbering system. Daktronics identifies
individual engineering drawings by their drawing number (7087-P08A-69945 in the
example), which is located in the lower right corner of the drawing. This manual
refers to drawings by their last set of numbers and the letter preceding them. The
example would be Drawing A-69945.

Figure 1: Daktronics Drawing Label

Reference drawings are grouped and inserted in alphanumeric order in Appendix A
and Appendix B.

Listed below are a number of drawing types commonly used by Daktronics, along
with the information that each is likely to provide.

 System riser diagrams: overall system layout from control room to

display, power and phase requirements.

Introduction 1-1

 Shop drawings: fan locations, transformer locations, mounting

information, power and signal entrance points and access method (front or
rear).

 Schematics: power wiring, signal wiring, panelboard or power termination

panel assignments, signal termination panel assignments and transformer
assignments.

 Final assembly: component locations, part numbers, display dimensions

and assembly/disassembly instructions.

All references to drawing numbers, appendices, figures, or other manuals are
presented in bold typeface, as in this example: “Refer to Drawing A-69945 for the
location of the driver enclosure.” Additionally, any drawings referenced within a
particular subsection are listed at the beginning of that subsection in the following
manner:

Reference Drawing:

Daktronics identifies manuals by their engineering document (ED) number, which is
located on the cover page of the manual. For example, this manual would be referred
to as ED-16960.

The serial and model numbers of a Daktronics scoreboard can be found on the ID
label on the display. The label will be similar to the one shown in Figure 2. When
calling Daktronics Customer Service, please have this information available to
ensure that your request is serviced as quickly as possible. For future reference, note
your scoreboard model number, serial number and installation date on the second
page of this manual.

Figure 2: Scoreboard ID Label

Daktronics displays are built for long life and require little maintenance. However,
from time to time, certain display components will have to be replaced. The
Replacement Parts List in Section 8.8 provides the names and part numbers of
components that may require replacement during the life of this display.

Following the Replacement Parts List is an explanation of Daktronics exchange and
replacement programs. Refer to these instructions if repaired or replacement parts are
needed.

1.2 Daktronics Nomenclature

To fully understand some Daktronics drawings, such as schematics, it is necessary to
know how various components are labeled in those drawings. This information is
useful when trying to communicate maintenance or troubleshooting efforts.

The label “A” on a drawing item typically denotes an assembly. An assembly can be

1-2 Introduction

a single circuit board or a collection of components that function together, usually
mounted on a single plate or in a single enclosure.

In addition, the following labeling formats might be found on various Daktronics
drawings:

 “TB _ _” denotes a termination block for power or signal cable.
 “F _ _” denotes a fuse.
 “E _ _” denotes a grounding point.
 “J _ _” denotes a power or signal jack.

 “P _ _” denotes a power or signal plug for the opposite jack.

Finally, Daktronics part numbers are commonly found on drawings. Those part
numbers can be used when requesting replacement parts from Daktronics Customer
Service. Take note of the following part number formats. (Not all possible formats
are listed here.)

 “0P- _ _ _ _- _ _ _ _” denotes an indi vi d ual ci rcui t boa rd , such as a drive r

board.

 “0A-_ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _” denotes an assembly, such as a circuit board and the

plate or bracket to which it is mounted. A collection of circuit boards
working as a single unit may also carry an assembly label.

 “W- _ _ _ _ ” denotes a wire or cable. Cables may also carry the assembly

numbering format in certain circumstances. This is especially true for
ribbon cables.

 “F- _ _ _ _ ” denotes a fuse.
 “T- _ _ _ _ ” denotes a transform e r.

 “PR- _ _ _ _ _ - _” denotes a specially order e d part .
 “M- _ _ _ ” denotes a metal part, and “0S-_ _ _ _ _ _” typically denotes a

fabricated metal assembly.

1.3 Product Overview

The Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards are part of a family of scoring and timing
displays designed to offer easy installation, readability, and reliability.
Microprocessor control assures consistent operation and accuracy.

Featuring large, highly visible PanaView
scoreboards use light emitting diodes, or LEDs, to illuminate the display. LEDs are
tiny, solid-state components that use a semiconductor chip to transform electrical
current into light; they are high-intensity, low-energy lighting units. Scoreboards in
this series typically use red or amber LEDs for optimum outdoor readability.

Because of their LED technology, the scoreboards consume little power – barely
more than a single household lamp. Power usage for displays in this series ranges
from 300 W to a maximum of 1500 W.

Each of the sections in this manual contains model-specific information, including
physical dimensions, digit configuration, and power requirements. The scoreboard
engineering drawings, located in Appendix A, also list dimensions, weight and
mounting instructions for each display. Additionally, scoreboard model numbers and
electrical requirements can be found on a label on the scoreboard entrance panel.

Introduction 1-3

®

digits 15, 18, 24, and 30" tall, the

The outdoor LED displays are modular in construction, typically with a top and a
bottom section, but some are comprised of as many as four different sections. The
units are shipped separately and joined at installation. Unpowered sections,
connected to the internal power and signal enclosure with cabling, are referred to as
“slave” sections, while those housing the electronic control components are
“masters.”

Cabinets for the displays, available in more than 150 colors, are constructed of
heavy-gauge aluminum. Digit and indicator faceplates are black, and they are set
directly into the scoreboard surface. Permanent captions and optional striping are
white vinyl.

Note: Some drawings and text in this manual refer to team name message centers or
TNMCs.

Team name message centers are scoreboard-mounted, matrix LED units, which
electronically display home and guest team names. TNMCs are available as a
standard new scoreboard option with several of the models in this series, and the
message centers are also available for retrofit on existing scoreboards. Section 9 of
this manual offers step-by-step information on TNMC maintenance and
troubleshooting.

The outdoor LED scoreboards are designed for use with an All Sport
control console. The console uses All Sport keyboard overlays

(sport inserts) for game control, and the boards operate without modification on All
Sport 5000 signal protocol. Refer to the following controller manual for operating
instructions:

1.4 Model Names

Daktronics scoreboards are differentiated by their model numbers: BA-1518, for
example, designates a specific baseball scoreboard. The two-letter prefixes for
scoreboards in this manual include the following: BA – baseball; CR – cricket; FB –
football; MS – multisport; and SO – soccer.

Most Daktronics scoreboards carry a two-number suffix that refers to indoor-outdoor
status and digit color: -11 are outdoor scoreboards, 120 V and they feature red digits;

-21 are outdoor scoreboards, 120 V and feature amber digits.

1.5 Product Safety Approval

Daktronics outdoor scoreboards are ETL listed and tested to CSA standards for
outdoor use. Contact Daktronics for information regarding testing procedures.

Refer to the installation specification drawings listed in the preceding tables for the
rear view of each of the models. These drawings specify the number of beams and
the recommended spacing between them. The drawings also indicate the size of
beams required to support the scoreboard at different heights under various wind
speed conditions. All of the beam specifications illustrate W-shape steel beams
(wide-flange I-beams). The first number indicates the front-to-rear depth of the
beam, and the second number indicates the weight in pounds per foot of length.

Column and footing size dimensions provided with the drawings can help in
estimating installation costs.

Mechanical Installation 6-3

Note: They are estimates only and are not intended for construction purposes. Be
sure that your installation complies with local building codes and is suitable for your
particular soil and wind conditions.

The columns and footings and all connection details must be designed and certified
by a professional engineer licensed to practice in the state in which scoreboard will
be installed.

Note: Daktronics does not assume any liability for any installation derived from the
information provided in this manual or for those designed and installed by others.

6.3 Lifting the Scoreboard

Reference Drawing:

Lifting Scoreboard ......................................................... Drawing A-44548

Large scoreboard sections and message centers are shipped equipped with eyebolts
that are used to lift the displays. 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. Lifting methods are shown in Figure 3 and in Drawing A-44548.

Figure 3: Lifting the Display

Figure 3 illustrates both the preferred method (left example) and an alternative
method (right example) for lifting a scoreboard. When lifting the display:

• Use a spreader bar.

• Use every lifting point provided.

Take special care not to exceed the rated load of the eyebolts. Refer to ED-7244,
Eyebolts, to determine allowable loads and load angles for the lifting hardware.
ED-7244 is located in Appendix B of this manual.

Avoid using other lifting methods. Cables and chains attached to the eyebolts and
directly to a center lifting point, as shown in the right-hand example in Figure 3, can
create a dangerous lateral force on the eyebolts and may cause the eyebolts to fail.

6-4 Mechanical Installation

Daktronics scoreboards use

1/2" and 5/8" shoulder-type eyebolts mounted to a 1/8"

aluminum plate or steel nut plate, but exceeding load angles or weight limits could
cause the bolts to pull out or the scoreboard cabinet to buckle. In either circumstance,
there could be serious damage to the scoreboard. 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.

In typical multi-section installations, the lower scoreboard is installed first and
secured to the support beams. The upper section is then placed atop or above the
lower section and attached to the beams. There may be cables extending from the top
of the lower section. Guide these cables into the hole in the bottom of the upper
section for later connection.

If installers remove the lift eyebolts, plug the holes with bolts and the rubber sealing
washers used with the eyebolts. Apply silicone or another waterproof sealant to the
eyebolt openings. Inspect the top and sides of the display for any other holes or
openings that may allow moisture to enter the display, and plug and seal those
openings as well.

6.4 Scoreboard Mounting

Reference Drawings:

Display Mounting ............................................................ Drawing A-44412

Display Mounting Straps, BA-3718 .............................. Drawing A-114415

Scoreboards can be mounted
on two, three, or four poles.
Refer to Section 6.2 to
determine the center-to­center distance of the poles
and other installation
specifications for each
model.

Drawing A-44412 shows
the hardware used for
mounting the scoreboard to
the beams. Each section of
the scoreboard attaches at
the top and the bottom to all
the beams. The drawing also
shows top and side views of
the scoreboard secured to the
beams. Note that the
threaded rods do not pass
through the flanges of the
beams, but instead run along
both sides of each beam.

Figure 4: Multi-Section Scoreboard Mounting (Side View)

Mechanical Installation 6-5

Review the illustrations of the mounting hardware in Drawing A-44412, and then
follow this procedure for each section:

1. Using the

3/8" bolts, loosely attach the inner and outer mounting clamps to

the rear flanges of the scoreboard’s horizontal frame members. Measure the
beam spacing and position the clamps to fit on either side of the beams.

2. Insert a

1/2" square nut into each mounting clamp. From the rear, screw a

threaded rod into each of the nuts, as shown in Figure 4.

3. Position the scoreboard in front of the beams with the threaded rods

extending from the rear of the clamps, straddling the beams. Raise the
scoreboard section to the desired height.

4. Slide clamping angles over the ends of the rods and loosely install the

Scoreboard Mounting Using Spacers

Reference Drawing:

Scoreboard Mtg; Scoreboard with Spacers ................ Drawing A-182909

Many Daktronics
customers add
message centers or
advertising panels
to the top or bottom
of their
scoreboards, and in
some cases the
depth of the add-on
component may not
match the depth of
the scoreboard.
(Scoreboards in this
series are typically
6" or 11" deep.)

To create a uniform
appearance for the
overall display,
Daktronics
recommends using
spacers behind the
scoreboard so that
the front face of the

Figure 5: Mounting with Spacers

6-6 Mechanical Installation

display lines up evenly with the front face of the added component. The concept is
illustrated in Figure 5.

Drawing A-182909 provides complete details for inse rting spacers. At installation,
spacers are placed between the mounting beams and the back of the scoreboard
cabinet. Spacer size is determined by the height and the extra depth required for the
front surface of the scoreboard to match that of the optional message center or ad
panel. Daktronics does not provide these spacers.

6.5 Ad Panel Mounting

Reference Drawing:

Ad Panel Mounting.........................................................Drawing A-52187

Drawing A-52187 shows the mounting of advertising or identification panels. The
installation requires mounting channel (C-channel), mounting angles, and
threaded rods (15"), square nuts, hex nuts, and washers.

Mount the ad panel or ad panels in the following manner:

1. Use the mounting channel to determine which hole combination to use. Be

sure to keep the bolts as close to the beam as possible.

2. Using the mounting channel as a template, drill 9/16" holes in the upper and

lower rear flange of the ad panel where the supports will go.

3. Place the 1/2" square nuts inside the channel and thread the long rods

through.

4. Lift the ad panel into position with the threaded rods still in place.

5. Place mounting angles over each pair of rods and secure with lock washers

and hex nuts.

6. When the panel is adjusted to the final desired position, tighten the hex nuts

firmly.

When mounting ad panels with back sheets, remove the back sheets above and below
the upper and lower rear flanges of the ad panel where the holes have been drilled.
Be sure to replace the back sheets after placing the square nuts inside the channel and
threading the rods through the holes.

Mechanical Installation 6-7

Section 7: Electrical Installation

Electrical installation consists of the following processes:

• Providing power and ground to a disconnect near the scoreboard.

• Routing power and ground from the main disconnect to the scoreboard driver/power

enclosure.

• Connecting the scoreboard ground to a grounding electrode at the scoreboard

location.

• Routing the control signal cable from the control location to the scoreboard location.

Note: Only qualified individuals should perform power routing and termination to the display.
It is the responsibility of the electrical contractor to ensure that all electrical work meets or
exceeds local and national codes.

7.1 Power

Reference Drawing:

Schematic; Gen IV Outdoor LED, 16 Column Drvr ............ Drawing A-285779

Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards have been designed for easy access to
components, and the power and control signal hookup has been simplified. Front
panels are removable to allow access to the digits, cabling, and other electronic
components.

Correct power installation is imperative for proper display operation. The
subsections that follow give details of display power installation. Only qualified
individuals should attempt to complete the electrical installation; untrained personnel
should not attempt to install these displays or any of the electrical components.

Improper installation could result in serious damage to the equipment and could be
hazardous to personnel.

The multi-section outdoor scoreboards require a dedicated, 120 V circuit for
incoming power. The display itself has no breakers or fuses.

WARNING: It is critical that the scoreboard circuit be fused at 15 A, and that all
conductors used must be designed to pass a 15 A current in normal operation. Failure
to meet wiring an overcurrent protection device requirements is a violation of the
National Electrical Code

All power conductors are 14 AWG, except wher e 18 AWG wiring is called out on
the schematic. All signal conductors are 18 AWG.

Refer to the outdoor scoreboard schematic listed above and to the chart in Section 5
to determine circuit specifications and maximum power requirements for the models
described in this manual.

® and will void the scoreboard warranty.

Electrical Installation 7-1

Grounding

Reference Drawing:

Schematic; Gen IV Outdoor LED, 16 Column Drvr ............ Drawing A-285779

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.
Daktronics Sales and Service personnel can also provide this service.

The display system must be connected to an earth electrode installed at the display.
Proper grounding is necessary for reliable equipment operation. It also protects the
equipment from damaging electrical disturbances and lightning.

Note: The display must be properly grounded, or the warranty will be void. Refer to
the schematic, Drawing A-285779, for informatio n on connecting the grounding
wire. The connection is illustrated in the “Pwr In” detail of the Master Configuration
portion of the schematic.

The material for an earth-ground electrode differs from region to region and may
vary according to conditions present at the site. Consult the National Electrical Code
and any local electrical codes that may apply. The support structure of the display
cannot be used as an earth-ground electrode. The support is generally embedded in
concrete, and if it is in earth, the steel is usually primed or it corrodes, making it a
poor ground in either case.

Power Installation

There are two considerations for power installation: installation with ground and
neutral conductors provided, and installation with only a neutral conductor provided.
These two power installations differ slightly, as described in the following
paragraphs:

Installation with Ground and Neutral Conductors Provided

For this type of installation, the power circuit must contain an isolated earth-ground
conductor. Under this circumstance, do not connect neutral to ground at the
disconnect or at the display.

Note: This would violate electrical codes and void the warranty.

Use a disconnect so that all hot and neutral lines can be disconnected. The National
Electrical Code requires the use of a lockable power disconnect within sight of or at
the display.

nstallation with Only a Neutral Conductor Provided

I

Installations where no grounding conductor is provided must comply with Article
250-32 of the National Electrical Code. If the installation in question meets all of the
requirements of Article 250-32, the following guidelines must be observed:

7-2 Electrical Installation

• Connect the grounding electrode cable at the local disconnect, never at the

display driver/power enclosur e.

• Use a disconnect that opens all of the ungrounded phase conductors.

Route power and signal cables into the scoreboard
from the rear. There are two plastic plugs for
conduit connection in the back. All power and
signal wiring terminates at the driver enclosure.
Drawing A-293354 illustrates the 16-column
driver used in Daktronics outdoor LED
scoreboards.

To gain access to the driver enclosure, open the
access door or digit panel and remove the cover
from the enclosure. Refer to the component
locations drawings for the access location for your
scoreboard.

Connect power and signal cables at the appropriate
locations on the driver enclosure panel, shown in
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.

The terminal block is located in the lower right corner of the enclosure. Connect the
power wires as shown in the illustration. Refer to the driver engineering drawings
and the schematics listed at the beginning of this section for additional wiring details.
The schematics include a detailed illustration of the power termination.

Note: If a power receptacle is needed to operate the control console at the scoreboard
for troubleshooting, Daktronics recommends that an installation electrician provides
a 120 V outlet close to the disconnect box specifically for this purpose.

Signal In terminal block on the PCB, connect the red signal wire to the positive
terminal, the black to the negative terminal, and the shield (silver) wire to the shield
terminal.

Note: It is important that the shield
wire is properly connected to the
shield terminal on the signal surge
arrestor card.

Figure 7 (on the previous page)
illustrates the printed circuit board
and the terminal blocks.

For signal cable, Daktronics
recommends, as a minimum,
single-pair, shielded cable, 22
AWG (Daktronics part number W-

1077). Two-pair shielded cable
(Daktronics part W-1614) is
preferred.

Figure 7: Signal Surge Arrestor Card

Fiber Optic

Another common signal communication
method is using fiber optic cabling. 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.)

For additional information on signal
connection, refer to the All Sport 5000 Series
control console operation manual ED-11976.

Figure 8: Driver Fiber Connection Location

7-4 Electrical Installation

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 sect i on of the board, while the other
driver runs the bottom section, but only the top section digits use the interconnect
harness. Cabling runs from the individual digits to a common point in the upper
scoreboard section, and the harness drops through the bottom of the scoreboard
cabinet to connect to the driver in the lower section. (At shipping, the interconnect

Figure 9: Interconnect Harness Connections with Digit Designation

harness will extend approximately 7' from the bottom of the upper section. Open the
access panel to the lower driver, pull the interconnect harness through the hole in the
top of the lower cabinet, and plug the harness into the appropriate driver connection.)

Figure 9 illustrates the interconnect harness connection.

On some larger four-section scoreboards, BA-2006, BA-2007, BA-3718 and BA­3724 the digit interconnect harnesses plug directly into drivers in the upper left
section of the scoreboard.

Figure 10: Scoreboard Interconnect Harnessing

Because the four sections of these scoreboards are shipped separately and joined
onsite, care must be taken to properly route the interconnect cables. Refer to Figure

10 and follow this general procedure to connect the digit harnesses.

1. When the scoreboard sections are uncrated, you should see cables protruding

from the tops or sides of Sections B, C, and D. These are the digit interconnect

Electrical Installation 7-5

harnesses, and each harness may contain as many as nine individual digit
connectors. They will be routed through 2

1

/2" holes in the scoreboard cabinets
and into Section A, where the connectors will plug into the appropriate driver
connections. (Digits in all sections have been connected and tested at the
factory; the only installation that must be completed onsite is the attachment of
the cables to the driver connections.)

2. Begin the installation by first connecting the harnesses in the lower scoreboard

sections, C and D. There is a removable panel on the face of Section C,
immediately to the right of the digits. Unfasten the two screws to remove the
panel; this will provide access for routing the cable harness from Section D.

3. Harnesses should be protruding through a pair of 2

1

/2" holes on the left end of

Section D. Refer to Figure 9. Run these cables into the mating holes on the right
side of Section C, and then continue to route the cabling up and through the two
end holes in the top of Section C. There are four holes on the upper right side of
the Section C cabinet. The first two holes are occupied by the digit interconnect
cabling from Section C, and these two cables should already be routed up and
through the top of the scoreboard cabinet.

4. Open the right access panel in Section A. The panel is hinged at the top and

fastened with three screws at the bottom; it also contains a brace to prop open
the door.

5. On the left side of the Section B cabinet is the interconnect harness – a single

cable with multiple connectors. Run the cable into and through the single mating
hole on the right side of the Section A scoreboard.

6. Plug the connectors from all the cables into corresponding connection on the

appropriate driver. Each plug is clearly marked.

Multiple Driver Connections

All of the large, multi-section LED scoreboards require multiple drivers, and thos e mode ls have
been configured to operate with a master/slave driver system. Master and slave dri ve rs f unct i o n
identically, but slave units lack the power termination block and signal surge suppression card.
The two drivers have been designed to simply plug into one another via an interconnect harness.
The slave receives power and redriven signal from the master driver enclosure. Larger boards can
add as many driver slaves as they require.

All driver interconnect harnesses are factory-installed. No additional connection is necessary. (The
harness emerges from the bottom of the master driver encl osure, and the J42 jack from the maste r
is connected to the slave’s P43 plug.) Likewise, signal cables from drivers to digit also have been
factory-installed, and no additional connection is necessary.

Refer to your scoreboard drawings to determine driver location and other model-specific
information.

Section 8: Scoreboard Maintenance and

Troubleshooting

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. Disconnect power before doing any repair or maintenance work on the
scoreboard!

2. Permit only qualified service personnel to access internal display

electronics.

3. Disconnect power when not using the scoreboard.

Note: For assistance in the maintenance of team name me ssage cent ers o r ot her optional
scoreboard message centers, refer to Section 9 or the service manual that accompanies those
units.

8.1 Cabinet Specifications

Cabinets for the Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards are constructed of heavy­gauge aluminum. 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.

8.2 Component Location and Access

For front-access scoreboards, all internal
electronic components and digits can be
reached by opening a face panel, an
access door, or a digit panel on the front
of the display.

Digit panels have been simplified on the
outdoor LED scoreboards. They are held
in place on the scoreboard face by an
offset flange across the top and by three
screws at the bottom, as shown in Figure
11 (very large digits may have additional
screws across the bottom.)

Note: Open the scoreboard with care.

Hold the digit panel in place by putting
hand pressure on it while removing the
screws, and carefully lift it from the
board, sliding it out and down. If the panel
is not held in place, it could drop
immediately when the screw is removed, possibly damaging LEDs or the digit
harness. (A stud insert on the back of the digit panel is designed to minimize damage
from dropping.)

Figure 11: LED Digit Panel (Not to Scale)

Scoreboard Maintenance 8-1
and Troubleshooting

Component location varies with each scoreboard model, but drivers and power and
signal components are typically mounted inside the scoreboard behind an access
panel or a digit.

With a non-digit access panel, simply remove the top, side and bottom screws
holding it in place. Some panels are hinged and swing open when the screws are
removed or loosened.

Note: Disconnect power before servicing the display!

Replacing a Digit

The digit circuit board, the platform
for the LEDs, is mounted to the back
of the digit panel. See Figure 12
below. Do not attempt to remove
individual LEDs. In the case of a
malfunctioning board, replace the
entire digit panel.

To remove a scoreboard digit, follow
these steps:

1. Open the digit panel as

described in the preceding
section.

2. Disconnect the power/signal

connector from the back of
the digit. Release the
connector by squeezing
together the locking tabs as
you pull the connector free.

3. The digits are secured to the

inside of the panel with fixed
machine screws, spacers,
and push nuts. 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

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.
As with smaller digits, the digit segment circuit boards are mounted to the back of
the digit panel.

Note: Do not attempt to remove individual LEDs.

Refer to Drawing B-177679. To remove a digit segment, follow these steps:

1. Open the digit panel as

described above in the
previous section.

2. Disconnect the 2-pin

power/signal connector
from the back of the
individual segment.
Release the connector by
squeezing together the
locking tabs as you pull
the connector free.

3. The individual segments

are secured to the inside of
the panel with fixed
machine screws, spacers,
and push nuts. Remove
the nuts and lift the
segment off the standoff
screws.

4. Position a new segment

over the screws and

tighten the nuts.

5. Reconnect the power/signal connector.

Note: This is a keyed connector and will attach in one way only. Do not

attempt to force the connection!

6. Close and secure the digit panel and test the scoreboard.

Note: Replace a malfunctioning colon, decimal, or indicator assembly in

the same manner.

Scoreboard Maintenance 8-3
and Troubleshooting

Replacing a Driver

Drivers are typically mounted
inside the scoreboard and
immediately behind a digit, but
location and mounting varies
with the model of the
scoreboard. Refer to the
component locations drawings
in Section 4 for the location of
your scoreboard driver.

All scoreboards in this manual
are front-accessible. Each
driver is enclosed with a power
supply and signal terminal
block.

Before a failed driver can be
reached, the enclosure must be
accessed. Follow these steps:

1. Open the digit panel or scoreboard face panel as described in Section 8.2.

2. Remove the cover from the driver enclosure.

3. Disconnect all connectors from the driver. Release each connector by

squeezing together the locking tabs as you pull the connector free.

Note: This is a keyed connector and will attach in one way only. Do not
attempt to force the connections!

4. Remove the screws, nuts, or wing nuts securing the driver to the inside of

the enclosure. Refer to Figure 14.

5. Carefully lift the driver from the display and place it on a clean, flat surface.

Address Table 1; GEN IV Driver Address DIP Switch ....... Drawing A-290261

Driver Enclosure Reference, GEN IV ................................. Drawing A-293354

In the scoreboard, the LED drivers perform the task of switching digits on and off.

Refer to Drawing A-293354. Each driver has up to 19 connectors providing power
and signal inputs to the circuit and outputs to the digits and indicators. The
connectors function as follows:

Connector No. Function

16-Column LED Driver

1-16 Output to digits and indicators

17 Power and signal input

18 Relay

19 or S1 Address

20 Protocol

Output connectors 1 through 16 each have nine pins. Pin 7 provides power (hot) to
the digit or indicators wired to that connector. The other eight pins provide switching
connections.

For the scoreboard to receive signal and function properly, the driver must be set to the correct
address. This address is set with jumper wires in a 12-pin plug which mates with a jack on the
driver. Drawing A-288137 details the specifications for 16-column drivers.

Address settings can be configured by using the SI dip switch. See Drawing A-290261 for more
information. The older method using the J19 address plug is still available. Refer to Drawing A-
115078 for a listing of the wire/pin connections for driver addresse s 1 – 12 8 .

8.5 Segmentation and Digit Designation

Reference Drawing:

Segmentation, 7 Segment Bar Digit ............................... Drawing A-38532

Scoreboard Maintenance 8-5
and Troubleshooting

In each digit, certain LEDs always go on and
off together. These groupings of LEDs are
referred to as segments. Drawing
A-38532 illustrates digit segmentation. It also
details which connector pin is wired to each
digit segment and the wiring color code used
throughout the display.

The component locations drawings in Section 4
specify the driver connectors controlling the
digits. Numbers displayed in hexagons in the
upper half of each digit, as shown in Figure 15,
indicate which connector is wired to that digit.
The lower number in the square indicates
nominal digit size.

8.6 Lightning Protection

The use of a disconnect near the scoreboard to completely cut all current-carrying
lines significantly protects the circuits against lightning damage. The National
Electrical Code also requires the disconnect. In order for this system to provide
protection, the power must be disconnect ed when the scoreboard is not in use. The
control console should also be disconnected from power and from the signal junction
box when the system is not in use. The same surges that may damage the
scoreboard’s driver can also damage the console’s circuit.

need of repair. If a part requires repair or replacement, Daktronics sends the customer a
replacement, and the customer sends the problem part to Daktronics. This not only saves money,
but also decreases display downtime. To participate in the Exchange Program, follow these steps:

1. Call Daktronics Customer Service: at 877-605-1115 (toll-free) or 605-697-4036

2. When the new exchange part is received, mail the old part to Daktronics.

If the replacement part fixes the problem, send in the problem part, which is being replaced.

a. Package the old part in the same shipping materials in which the replacement

part arrived.

b. Fill out and attach the enclosed UPS shipping document.
c. Ship the part to Daktronics.

3. You will be billed for the replacement part immediately, unless you have a qualifying

service agreement in place.

In most circumstances, you will be invoiced for the replacement part at the time it is shipped.
This bill, which represents the exchange price, is due when you receive it.

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. The second invoice represents the difference between the exchange price (billed
previously) and the full purchase price of the part. If you return the exchange equipment after
30 working days from the invoice date, you will be credited for the amount on the second
invoice, minus a restocking fee.

Note: Second invoice policies also apply to customers with qualifying service agreements in
place. To avoid a restocking charge, return the part, which has been replaced within 30

days of the invoice date.

5. If the replacement part does not solve the problem, return the part within 30 working

days or you will be billed for it at full purchase price.

8-10 Scoreboard Maintenance
and Trouble Shooting

If, after you make the exchange, the equipment still causes problems, please contact our
Customer Service immediately. Daktronics expects immediate return of an exchange part if it
does not solve the problem. 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.

1. Call Daktronics Customer Service: at 877-605-1115 (toll-free) or 605-697-4036.

2. Receive a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number before shipping.

This expedites repair of your part.

3. Package and pad the item carefully to prevent damage during shipment.

Electronic components, such as printed circuit boards, should be placed in an antistatic
bag before boxing.

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.

3. Disconnect power when the scoreboard is not in use.

9.1 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. Figure 16, below,
illustrates the larger unit. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) – tiny, solid-state lighting units –
illuminate the displays.

Figure 16: 8x48 Team Name Message Center

The message centers feature an array of red or amber LEDs, and are capable of displaying
characters up to 10" high. Pixels in the red TNMC consist of a three-LED cluster, while amber
TNMCs use four-LEDs per pixel.

The four-module TNMC measures approximately 1'-4" tall by 4' wide, while the six-module
TNMC measures approximately 1'-4" by 6' wide; both have an in-cabinet depth of about 5". The
smaller units weigh about 80 pounds per pair, and the larger TNMC sets add about 120 pounds to
scoreboard weight.

TNMCs are typically installed in pairs. Although the message centers customarily are used for
team names (home and guest), they are programmable and can display any type of caption.
Characters are shown on a single line and either single- or double-stroke fonts may be used for the
caption or name.

TNMC Maintenance 9-1

9.2 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.

Red/Amb Led TNMC, G-4 ..................................... Drawing A-257029

Refer to your schematic, Drawings A-252645 or A-252681, for complete information on TNMC
signal routing. Drawing A-25702 9 indicates the locations of the internal electronic components.
From signal input from the All Sport controller, routing can be summarized as follows:

1. Data from the display controller travels via cable harness into the scoreboard.

2. The signal then travels through the driver/power enclosure to the J1 connector on the

current loop interface card.

3. Data exits at J42 via current loop harness, and connects with P43 at the TNMC controller

assembly. An interconnect harness carries the signal to the first module, and the signal
relays from module to module, in daisy-chain style, until it reaches the last module on
the message center.

Refer to your schematic, Drawings A-252645 or A-252681, for complete information on TNMC
power routing. Drawin g A- 25 7029 indicates the location of the internal electronic components.
Note that amber TNMCs always contain two power supplies, while red TNMCs require only a
single power supply.

Power routing for the display can be summarized as follows:

1. Incoming power terminates at the terminal block in the scoreboard driver enclosure.

Using the same harness and J42-P43 connections as signal, power is then routed to the
TNMC controller where it then travels to both the power supply assembly and to a
transformer on the controller tray.

2. From the power supply assembly, power is relayed to the first module, and then from

module to module.

3. While the modules draw their power directly from the power supply assemblies (6.5 V

for red LED modules, 9 V for amber), the TNMC controller itself receives 16 V power
from the transformer.

9.5 Service and Diagnostics

The following subsections address servicing of these display components:

 TNMC Controller
 Modules and Drivers
 Power Supplies

The subsections also address diagnostic LEDs and signal/power connectors found on the TNMC
controller.

Remember: Disconnect power before servicing int er nal components!

TNMC Controller

Reference Drawings:

4 Column MASC LED Driver Specifications .......... Drawing A-166216

Component Locations; 832/848

The TNMC controller, located on the rear-access panel, receives signal directly from the control
console and sends data to the modules. Refer to the signal summary in
Section 9.3 for more information and to Drawing A-257029 for the location of the controller
board in the TNMC. The controller itself is detailed in Drawing A-166216, and Figure 17 below
illustrates a typical controller assembly. The card and transformer are mounted to a tray, which in
turn is mounted to the back panel of the TNMC cabinet.

Red/Amb LED TNMC, G4 ............................... Drawing A-257029

TNMC Maintenance 9-3

Figure 17: TNMC Controller Assembly

Note that connectors J25 and J26 control Home and Guest display. When the ribbon cable is
plugged into J25, the TNMC sends home team information to the matrix display. In the opposite
message center, the signal cable would be plugged into the J26 connector, and guest information
would be displayed. (Switching the cables reverses the information each message center receives.)

J19 is the connector for the address plug. The address setting for TNMCs will always be 221.
(There may be other settings if the TNMCs are used to display messages other than team names.)

Diagnostic LEDs

Reference Drawing:

4 Column MASC LED Driver Specifications .......... Drawing A-166216

There are seven diagnostic LEDs located on the TNMC controller, six indicating when the
controller is receiving signal, and the seventh indicating power status. Four of the LEDs, those
indicating CAN and RS-232 signal functions, are not used with the TNMC controller.
The following table explains the operation and functions of each of the diagnostic LEDs.

/32" nut driver, turn each fastener a quarter-turn. Turn the top latch clockwise
and the bottom latch counterclockwise. Carefully remove the module and detach the
ribbon cables. It may be helpful to label the cables so you will know which cable goes to
which connector when reattaching.

Figure 19: TNMC Rear Access

Note: To access the controller from the rear of the TNMC, as shown in Figure 19 (on
previous page), remove the appropriate rear-access panel from the TNMC by loosening
all four of the screws. Slide the access panel sideways to the larger part of the keyhole
and carefully lift it off the TNMC. Take care not to drop the panel, and remember that the
module controller is attached to the panel.

3. Disconnect power from J17

The module and driver board are a single, functional unit. To remove a module, complete the
following steps:

1. The modules are attached to an internal

frame called the module mounting
panel. Find the latch-access fasteners
(referred to as “latch plugs” on the
drawings) on the front of the m odul e.
One is centered below the top row of
pixels and one is centered above the
bottom row. (They may be slightly
hidden by the louvers.)

2. Unlatch the latch fasteners, illustrated in

Figure 20, by turning them a quarter-

turn using a

7

/32" nut driver. Turn the
top latch clockwise and the bottom latch
counterclockwise. Carefully remove the
module and detach the ribbon cables.
Label the cables, indicating which cable

was removed from which connector; the
labeling will be helpful when you replace the board.

Note: If you are accessing the unit from the rear, follow this procedure: First, remove the
rear access panel (explained in preceding subsection.): While holding onto the module,
push it out and turn it in such a manner (generally a sideways, diagonal turn) that it will
fit through the frame opening; then pull the module back through the opening in the
frame. Carefully disconnect the ribbon cables. Once again, label the cables, indicating
which cable was removed from which connector; the labeling will be helpful when
reconnecting.

When installing a module, reverse the previous steps and take note of the following points:

 Weatherstripping on the back edge of the module must be intact and in good condition to

prevent water from seeping into the display.

TNMC Maintenance 9-7

 Module latches must be fully engaged to create a watertight seal around the edge of the

module. The module should be firmly seated against the display when the latches are
fully engaged.

Each module assembly contains a module housing (containing LEDs and the driver board) and a
louver assembly. 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.

The module and driver are a single functional unit. Each module assembly is made up of a module
housing (containing LEDs and the driver) and a louver assembly.

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.

TNMC Display Maintenance

Complete a yearly inspection to maintain safe and dependable display operation. This inspection
should address the following issues:

 Loose Hardware

Verify that fasteners, such as bolts and rivets, have not come loose. Check and tighten or
replace fasteners as required.

 Excessive Dust Buildup

Occasionally, it may be necessary to vacuum the inside of the display cabinet to remove
dust/dirt buildup that may interfere with airflow.

 Water Intrusion – Water stain marks

Water can enter the display where weatherstripping has come loose or deteriorated;
where fasteners have come loose, allowing gaps in the panels; or where moisture may be
entering around hardware. Check electronic components for corrosion.

 Corrosion

Check the paint, and look for possible corrosion, especially at footings, structural tie
points, and ground rods and other types of grounding electrodes.

Note: If you notice any of the preceding conditions, make repairs or take corrective action
immediately.

Troubleshooting

This subsection contains some symptoms that may be encountered in the displays. This list does
not include every possible symptom, but does represent common situations that may occur.

Symptom/Condition Possible Cause/Remedy

Initialization Information at Startup

Every time the display is powered up, the display will run through an initialization during which it
will test all LEDs and addresses. First, the message center will display the proper address number.
When completed, the initialization test will display Home and Guest in the appropriate location. If
the entire TNMC display fails at startup, signal may not be properly connected, or the address plug
may not be connected to the J17 jack on the TNMC controller card. Check both connections in the
event of a failure.

Section 10: Scoreboard Options

The following options are available for the Daktronics single-section scoreboards to make them more
adaptable to individual scoring and timing needs:

 Team name caption kits for certain models
 Trumpet horn for football and soccer
 Radio control
 Portable power pack

10.1 Changeable Team Name Captions

Reference Drawing:

Caption Changing ....................................................... Drawing A-44549

The team name caption kit contains hardware for one caption only and consists of an upper
caption retainer, a lower caption retainer, a changeable caption panel and screws. The standard
HOME and GUEST captions are applied directly to the face of the scoreboard. Team name
captions are on changeable panels that fit into retainers mounted above and below the HOME and
GUEST captions. If retainers are not already present on your scoreboard, attach the retainers
included with the caption kit as shown on Drawing A-44549.

To install a changeable panel:

1. Insert the top of the panel into the upper retainer.

2. Lift the panel all the way up into the retainer.

3. Insert the bottom of the panel into the lower retainer.

Reverse this procedure to remove the caption panel.

An optional caption changer is available for installing and removing panels from the ground. Each
caption panel is punched with keyholes. Screw heads on the crossbar of the caption changer fit
into the keyholes. The caption changer pole is extendable, with a ring tightener to adjust the
length. Loosen the ring to extend the pole to the desired length; tighten the ring for pole use.

CAUTION

Note: The aluminum caption changer can conduct electricity. Do not use it within 20­feet of power lines.

Be careful when using the caption changer in high or gusting winds. Wind may catch the
panel and unhook it from the changer. The surface area of the caption panel could also act
as a sail, making it difficult to maintain a grip on the pole. Hold the pole tightly, and be
careful to maintain your balance when using the caption changer in windy situations.
