Section 1: Introduction
1.1 How To Use This Manual
This manual explains the installation and maintenance of the CH-1036H auto racing display
system. Setup of other control equipment or operation of the CHTS-300 timing console are
not covered in this manual. For questions regarding the safety, installation, operation or
service of this system, please refer to the telephone numbers listed on the cover page of this
manual.
Important Safeguards:
1. Read and understand these instructions before installing.
2. Do not drop the control console or allow it to get wet.
3. Be sure the scoreboard is properly grounded with a ground rod at the display location.
4. Disconnect power to the display when it is not in use.
5. Disconnect power when servicing the display.
6. Do not modify the display structure or attach any panels or coverings to the
display without the written consent of Daktronics, Inc.
The box below illustrates Daktronics drawing numbering system. The drawing number
“7087-P08A-69945” is how Daktronics identifies individual drawings. This number is
located in the lower-right corner of the drawing. This manual refers to drawings by listing the
last set of digits and the letter preceding them. In the example below, the drawing would be
referred to as Drawing A-69945. Referenced drawings are inserted at the end of the first section which references them.
Drawing A-51724 shows a Daktronics CH-1036H auto racing display. The CH-1036H
display along with the use of the Daktronics CHTS-300 timing console will display the lap
number and lap time on the display.
The table below contains recommendations for W-shape beams and footings to support the
display as shown in Drawing A-50136. The first column is wind velocity in miles per hour.
The distance in the second column is from the ground to the bottom of the display. The
choice from these columns depends upon the display location.
The beams listed below are beams which provide maximum wind load strength for the weight
and cost of the beams.

70 mph 10 W8 x 15 4 ¾ ft x 3 ft
15 W6 x 20 5 ½ ft x 3 ft
80 mph 10 W8 x 15 5 ½ ft x 3 ft
15 W8 x 20 6 ¾ ft x 3 ft
90 mph 10 W8 x 17 6 ¼ ft x 3 ft
15 W8 x 24 7 ft x 3 ft
The calculations for footing diameters and depths are based on the assumption that footings
are in undisturbed soils, not fill soils. Lateral bearing capacity of 300 psf per foot of depth in
natural grade was used to derive these figures.

The footing recommendations are based on the allowable soil bearing pressure of 3000 psf
vertically and 300 psf/ft of depth horizontally. However, these recommendations are suggestions only and soil bearing pressure at the site must be determined by a sample test prior
to specifying actual footings. Be sure that the installation complies with local codes and is
suitable for the particular soil and wind conditions. Daktronics assumes no responsibility for structures installed by others. Daktronics recommends that W-sections of grade 35 steel be used
for beams, and that 28-day (strength 3000 psi) concrete be used for footings.
A note about beam nomenclature: For a typical beam, W6 x 12 for example "W" stands for
"Wide-Flange Beam". The first number (6) is the approximate front to rear dimension of the
beam in inches. The second number (12) is the weight per foot in pounds. This numbering is a
standard in the steel industry. Widths are from 6.00 to 8.00 inches in the chart above.
Drawing A-51757 shows the typical mounting for the display.
Note: The bolts that secure the display sections do not go through the beams, but run along
both sides of the beam to clamp the display to the beams.
A mounting kit consisting of 9 mounting angles 3 splice channels and 1/2" hardware are
provided to mount the display.
1. Position the display against the mounting beams and secure the bottom of the display to
both beams as shown in Drawing A-51757.
2. Next, secure the top of the display. Once mounting angles are attached, the display may
be slid up or down to the desired height.
3. Once positioned as desired, tighten all bolts.
4. Position the right display section next to the left display section and secure to the beam
the same way as the left display section was mounted.
5. Secure remaining mounting angles.
6. Attach the 3 splice channels at the top, bottom and center of the display where the two display sections meet to secure the two sections together as shown in Drawing A-51756.
For the display, two conductors of 24 AWG are needed. For distances up to 600 ft. or
22 AWG, up to 1000 ft. are required. Daktronics has 24 AWG direct burial cable,
Daktronics part no. W-1105 with 6 conductors, and 22 AWG cable that must be
pulled through the conduit before burial, Daktronics part no. W-1077 with 2
conductors.
