1.1 How To Use This Manual
This manual explains the installation of Daktronics Outdoor LED Timing Displays and provides
details for display maintenance. For other questions regarding the safety, installation, operation, or
service of these systems, contact Daktronics. Customer Service Help Desk telephone numbers are
listed on the cover page of this manual. This manual would be referred to as ED12562.
Important Safeguards:
1. Read and understand these instructions before installing the display.
2. Do not drop the control console or allow it to get wet.
3. Properly ground the timer with a grounding electrode at the display location.
4. Disconnect power when the display is not in use.
5. Disconnect power when servicing the display.
6. Do not modify the structure or attach any panels or coverings to the display without the
express written consent of Daktronics, Inc.
The box at right illustrates the Daktronics drawing numbering system. Daktronics identifies
individual engineering drawings by the
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 digits and the letter preceding them.
The example would be Drawing A-
69945.
Reference drawings are grouped and
inserted in alphanumeric order in the
Appendix.
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.
+
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.
Figure 1: Daktronics Drawing Label
Introduction 1-1
All references to drawing numbers, appendices, figures, or other manuals are presented in bold
typeface, as in this example: “Refer to Drawing A-114667 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 each manual by assigning an engineering document, or ED, number, which is
located on the cover page. This manual, for example, would be referred to as ED13313.
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
Figure 2: Scoreboard Label
future reference, note your scoreboard model number, serial number, and installation date on the front
page of this manual.
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 4
provides 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 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
assembly.
1.3 Manual Overview

number and electrical requirements can be found on a label on the display entrance panel.
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

Section 6: Mechanical Installation
Mechanical installation consists of installing concrete footings and steel beams, and mounting the
scoreboard and accompanying ad panels to the beams.
6.1 Scoreboard Protective Devices
K Note: Some owners install devices to protect the display from projectiles. Scoreboard protection
devices not provided by Daktronics must be approved by Daktronics prior to installation. Failure to
follow this approval procedure will void the scoreboard warranty.
Daktronics makes available optional devices, including screens and netting, to help protect the
scoreboard from damage due to normal ball impact.
