programs. Refer to these instructions if you must replace or repair any display component.
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. You will find this information useful when trying
to communicate maintenance or troubleshooting efforts.
The label "A" on a drawing item typically denotes an assembly. An assembly can be 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.
1-2 Introduction
Finally, Daktronics part numbers are commonly listed 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 individual circuit board, such as a driver 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 of ribbon cables.
+
"F-_ _ _ _" denotes a fuse.
+
"T-_ _ _ _" denotes a transformer.
+
"PR-_ _ _ _ _ -_" denotes a specially ordered part.
+
"M-_ _ " denotes a metal part, and "0M_ _ _ _ _ _" typically denotes a fabricated metal

numbering descriptions.
1.4 Product Overview
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.
Introduction 1-3
Featuring large, highly visible digits 15, 18, 24, and 30" tall, the boards use light-emitting diodes to
power the scoreboard display. (Light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, are tiny, solid-state lighting units.
They are low-energy, high intensity lighting components.) Scoreboards in this series use red-orange
LEDs for maximum outdoor visibility.
Because of their LED technology, the scoreboards consume little power. Power usage in this series
ranges from little more than a household lamp.
The scoreboards in this series are modular in construction, typically with a top and a bottom section,
but some with as many as four different sections. The units are shipped separately and joined at
installation. Unpowered sections, connected to the internal power and signal panels with cabling, are
referred to as slave sections, while those housing the electronic control components are masters.
Cabinets for the displays are of heavy-gauge aluminum construction. Mounting weights and
dimensions for each model are listed in Section 3 of this manual.
KNote: 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 many of
the models in this series, and the message centers are also available for retrofit on existing
scoreboards. With some TNMC systems still in development, additional models will be added to
subsequent editions of this manual. Section 10 of this manual offers step-by-step information of
TNMC maintenance and troubleshooting.
1.5 Model Names
Daktronics scoreboards are differentiated by their model numbers: FB-1624, for example, designates
a specific football scoreboard. The two-letter prefixes for scoreboards in this manual include the
following: BA- baseball; FB-football; MS-multi-sport, and SO-soccer.
In the outdoor LED scoreboard series, the three or four numbers following the prefix typically
identify a specific model.
Most Daktronics scoreboards also carry a two-number suffix that refers to indoor-outdoor status and
power supply: -9 and -10 are indoor displays, 120 V and 230 V respectively; and -11 and -12 are
outdoor scoreboards, 120 V and 230 V. All of the LED displays in this manual carry the -11 suffix,
signifying that they have been designed and manufactured for outdoor use and have a 120 V AC
power requirement.
1.6 Product Safety Approval
Daktronics outdoor scoreboards and timing displays are ETL listed, tested to CSA standards and CE
labeled for outdoor use. Contact Daktronics with any questions regarding testing procedures

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
and 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 drawings are estimates only and are not intended for construction purposes.
Columns and footings and all connection details must be designed and certified by a professional
engineer licensed to practice in the state in which the display will be installed. Be sure that your
installation complies with local building codes and is suitable for your particular soil and wind
conditions.

6.3 Lifting the Scoreboard
Reference Drawings:
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.
Daktronics strongly recommends using a spreader bar, or lifting bar, to lift the display. Using a
spreader bar ensures that the force on the lifting straps or eyebolts is straight up, minimizing lifting
stress. Lifting methods are shown in the illustration below, 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 to ensure the rated load of the eyebolts is not exceeded. Refer to ED7244:
Eyebolts, to determine allowable loads and load angles for the lifting hardware. ED7244 is located in
the Appendix 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. Daktronics scoreboards use
eyebolts mounted to a
1
/8" aluminum plate or steel nut plate, but exceeding load angles or weight
1
/2" and 5/8" shoulder-type
limits could cause the bolts to pull out or the scoreboard cabinet to buckle. In either circumstance, the
result would be serious damage to the scoreboard. If you must use this method, ensure a minimum
angle between the chain and scoreboard of at least 45°.
K 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 by the
eyebolts.
6-4
Mechanical Installation
In typical multi-section installations, the lower scoreboard section is installed first and secured to the
support beams, and 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 when the display is permanently mounted, plug the holes with
bolts and the rubber sealing washers that were removed 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.

Scoreboards can be mounted to two, three, or four poles. Refer to Section 6.2 to determine the centerto-center distance of the poles for each model.
Drawing A-44412 shows that 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, Drawing A-44412 also
show 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.
Review the illustrations of the mounting hardware in Drawing A-44412, and then follow this
procedure for each section:
1. Loosely attach the inner and outer mounting clamps to the rear flanges of the scoreboard's
horizontal frame members, using the
clamps to fit on either side of the beams.
2. Insert a 1/2" square nut into each mounting clamp. Screw a threaded rod into each of the nuts
from the rear.
3. Position the scoreboard at the 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 washers and nuts.
5. Make final adjustments in the positioning of the scoreboard. Tighten the 3/8" bolts in the
mounting clamps.
6. Make sure that the threaded rods are perpendicular to the scoreboard, and tighten all of the
1

6.5 Ad Panel Mounting
Reference Drawing:
Ad Panel Mounting................................................................................ Drawing A-52187
Drawing A-52187 shows the mounting of advertising or identification panels.
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 square nuts inside the channel and thread the bolts through.
4. Lift the ad panel into position with the bolts still in place.
5. Place mounting angles over each pair of bolts 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 bolts through the holes.

Section 7: Electrical Installation
Electrical installation consists of the following processes:
+
K 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 Requirements
Reference Drawings:
Components 8/16 Pos Power and Signal Entrance............................. Drawing A-109114
Components 2/4 Pos Power and Signal Entrance............................... Drawing A-125977
Refer to the chart in Section 3 to determine circuit specifications and maximum power requirements
for the models described in this manual.
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 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.
Daktronics outdoor scoreboards and timing displays require a dedicated, 120 V circuit for incoming
power. The display itself has no breakers or fuses.
K 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 and
overcurrent protection device requirements is a violation of the National Electrical Code
void the scoreboard warranty.
All power conductors are 14 AWG, except where 18 AWG wiring is called out on the schematic. All
signal conductors are 22 AWG.
Refer to the outdoor scoreboard schematic listed above and to the chart in Section 1 to determine
circuit specifications and maximum power requirements for the models described in this manual.
Providing power and ground to a disconnect near the scoreboard;
+
Routing power and ground from the main disconnect to the scoreboard power and signal
entrance enclosure;
+
Connecting the scoreboard ground to a grounding electrode at the display location;
+
Routing the control signal cable from the control location to the display location.

Electrical Installation
7-1
Grounding
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 electrical contractor who is performing the electrical installation can verify ground
resistance. Scoreboard Sales and Service personnel can also perform 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. The display must be properly grounded or the
warranty will be void. Refer to the schematic, Drawing A-156750, for information on where to
connect the grounding wire. Connection at the duplex receptacle is illustrated in the lower section
of the drawing.
The material for an earth-ground electrode differs from region to region and may vary according
to conditions present at the scoreboard installation 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.
Branch Circuit Grounding
A grounding electrode at separate structures/displays will not be required where only one
branch circuit supplies the structure and branch circuit includes an equipment-grounding
conductor for grounding the non-current-carrying parts of all equipment.
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 subsections:
Installation with Ground and Neutral Conductors Provided
For this type of installation,
the power circuit must
contain an isolated earthground conductor. Under
this circumstance, do not
connect neutral to ground at
the disconnect or at the
display. This would violate
electrical codes and void the
warranty. Use a disconnect
so that all hot lines and
neutral can be disconnected.
The National Electrical Code
requires the use of a lockable power disconnect within sight of or at the display.
Figure 4: Installation with Ground and Neutral Provided
7-2
Electrical Installation
Installation with Only a Neutral Conductor Provided
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:
+
Connect the grounding
electrode cable at the local
disconnect, never at the
display entrance
enclosure.
+
Use a disconnect that
opens all of the
ungrounded phase
conductors.
+
The neutral and the ground
conductors should be

7.2 Power and Signal Connection
Reference Drawings:
Components 8/16 Pos Power and Signal Entrance............................. Drawing A-109114
Components 2/4 Pos Power and Signal Entrance............................... Drawing A-125977
Route power and signal cables into the scoreboard from the rear. There are two knockouts for conduit
connection in the back. All wires connect to the entrance plate. Drawings A-109114 and A-125977
illustrate the two types of entrance panels.
To gain access to the entrance panel, open the access door or digit panel and remove the cover from
the entrance enclosure. Refer to Section 4 and Component Locations drawings for the access
location for your scoreboard.
Connect the power and signal cables to the entrance panel as shown in Drawing A-109114 and A-
125977.
tConnections Be ween Sections
There are several cables in the slave sections of the scoreboard, which must be connected to a
panel in the master section (refer to Section 4). Route these cable through the 2 1/2" holes in
the connecting sides of the various sections when mounting the scoreboard.
To gain access to the entrance panel, open the access door on the front of the scoreboard.
Refer to Section 4 for the location of the access door for the model of your scoreboard.
Pull the cables from the other sections and route them to the bottom of the interconnect panel.
Connect the plugs on the cables to the connecting jacks in the interconnect panel. Match the
numbers on the plugs with the numbers on the jacks and insert.

8.6 Power-On Self-Test
Reference Drawing:
Outdoor LED Power-Up Self Test ........................................................Drawing A-133350
LED Bar Digit Power Up Self Test........................................................Drawing A-133351
The scoreboard performs a self-test each time that power is turned on and the control console is
powered off or not attached to the scoreboard. If the control console is attached and powered on, the
self-test does not run, and data from the control console is displayed on the scoreboard after a brief
period.
The self-test runs in three cycles or phases. Each scoreboard self-test pattern will vary depending on
the scoreboard model, the number of drivers and types of digits. Drawing A-133350 shows how the
test pattern displays in the digits with no protocol pins set on J26 of the LED drivers. Drawing A-
133351 shows a sample test pattern displayed on a scoreboard.
Cycle 1: Displays the protocol in the digits that are controlled by LED driver A1. P0 is
Cycle 2: Displays the driver number and address in the digits that are controlled by each

through row 8 (refer to Drawing A-133350).
8.7 Lightning Protection
The transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS), located in the load center, reduces the brief surge
induced into the power lines when lightning strikes in the vicinity of the scoreboard. A varistor in
the power lines to the driver logic also helps to protect this circuit by reducing such surges.
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 it. In order
for this system to provide protection, the power must be disconnected 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.
8.8 Troubleshooting
Daktronics scoreboards require little maintenance. However, from time to time, a display may
malfunction, and certain display components will have to be repaired or replaced. The following
table provides a list of problems common to most LED displays and specifies corrective actions:

8.10 Daktronics Exchange and Repair and Return Programs
Daktronics recommends that each customer keep an inventory of essential parts in case problems
arise. If equipment fails, the customer's local service technician can get the equipment operational
again with spare parts kept on hand.
For specific repair information for your Daktronics scoreboard, refer to the warranty in the original
purchase packet shipped with the display. Unless specifically stated in the warranty agreement, the
warranty does not cover on-site labor.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
8-7
To meet customer repair and maintenance needs, Daktronics offers two options: an Exchange
Program and a Repair and Return Program.
Daktronics' unique Exchange Program is a quick, economical service for replacing key components
in need of repair. If a component fails, Daktronics sends the customer a replacement, and the
customer, in turn, sends the failed component to Daktronics. This not only saves money but also
decreases scoreboard downtime. Under normal circumstances, Daktronics sends a reconditioned
replacement part within 24 hours. In urgent situations, Daktronics ships using the fastest method
available.
Daktronics provides these plans to ensure users get the most from their scoreboards and
components. The company offers the service to qualified customers who follow the program
guidelines explained below. Please call the Help Desk – 877-605-1115 – if you have questions
regarding the Exchange Program or any other Daktronics service.
When you call the Help Desk, a trained service technician will work with you to solve the
equipment problem. You will work together to diagnose the problem and determine which
replacement part to ship. If, after you make the exchange, the equipment still causes problems,
please contact our Help Desk immediately.
If the replacement part fixes the problem, package the defective part in the same box and wrapping
in which the replacement part arrived, fill out and attach the enclosed UPS shipping document, and
RETURN THE PART TO DAKTRONICS. 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.
Daktronics expects immediate return of an exchange part if it does not solve the problem. The
company also reserves the right to refuse equipment that has been damaged due to acts of nature or
causes other than normal wear and tear.
If you do not ship the defective equipment Daktronics within 30 working days from the invoice date,
Daktronics assumes you are purchasing the replacement part outright (with no exchange), and you
will be invoiced for it. This second invoice represents the difference between the exchange price
and the full purchase price of the equipment. The balance is due when you receive the second
invoice. 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. To avoid a restocking
charge, you must return the defective equipment within 30 days from the invoice date.
Daktronics also offers a Repair and Return Program for items not subject to exchange.
Return Materials Authorization: To return parts for service, contact your local representative
prior to shipment to acquire a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. If you have no local
representative, call the Daktronics Help Desk for the RMA. This expedites repair of your
component when it arrives at Daktronics.
Packaging for Return: Package and pad the item well so that it will not be damaged in shipment.
Electronic components such as printed circuit boards should be installed in an enclosure or placed in
an antistatic bag before boxing. Please enclose your name, address, phone number and a clear
description of symptoms.

9.3 Signal Summary
Reference Drawing:
Control Layout; Outdoor LED TNMC ................................................... Drawing B-107507
Refer to Drawing B-107507 for complete information on TNMC signal routing. 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 display.
2. The signal then travels through the power and signal entrance enclosure, (power and
signal termination panel) to the J1 connector on the current loop interface card.
3. Data exits at J3 and is relayed to the J1 connector on the multipurpose display controller
(MDC). The signal then exits the MDC and enters the first module of the TNMC.
4. Signal is relayed from module to module until it reaches the last module on the message
center. Refer to Drawing B-107507.
9.4 Power Summary
Reference Drawing:
Control Layout; Outdoor LED TNMC ................................................... Drawing B-107507
Refer to Drawing B-107507. Power routing for the display can be summarized as follows:
1. Incoming power terminates at the power and signal entrance enclosure. It is then routed
to the power supply within the TNMC.
2. From the power supply, power from the power supply is relayed to the MDC, the
current loop interface (CLI) card, and to each module.

DC Trumpet Horn Installation (Externally Mounted)
Caution: Disconnect scoreboard power before installing the horn!
Refer to Drawings A-128938 and A-162102 for complete installation information. With singlesection scoreboards, the external horn mounting location is above the center-most door. If the
horn is ordered with a new scoreboard, the horn power enclosure assembly (Steps 3, 4, and 5,
below) will be factory-installed, already attached to the interior back panel of the scoreboard. If
the horn is added later, attachment of the horn power enclosure assembly will be part of the
installation. In either case, the horn interconnect harness is also factory-installed and ready for
the final attachment with the horn.
1. Locate the horn panel near the top of the scoreboard. Refer to the component locations
drawings listed in Section 4. Note that there is a 2" knockout in this panel.
2. Loosen the screws securing the bottom of the panel and swing it open.
3. Note: This step and the next two are not required if the horn is ordered as original
equipment; these procedures will be completed at the factory. In the interior back panel
of the scoreboard, drill two

10.4 Radio Control
Radio control is an option with all Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards, the system providing
scoreboard control via a 2.4 GHz, extra-high frequency FM signal.
The radio transmitter and receiver are not standard equipment. This setup requires a control console
such as the All Sport, equipped with radio output. The display receives control signal via a radio
receiver mounted internally to the front panel. The receiver plugs into the power receptacle in the
driver/power enclosure.
For additional information about this option, contact your Daktronics representative; for complete
information on radio communications, refer to the All Sport 5000 Series or All Sport 3000 Series
Control Console Operation Manuals, ED11976 and ED12126.
