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.

2 Introduction

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.

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 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 for
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.

The scoreboards detailed in this manual are part of a family of outdoor scoring and
timing displays designed to offer simple installation and easy reliability.
Microprocessor control assures consistent operation and accuracy. The scoreboards
are illustrated in the Reference Drawings listed above.

Because this scoreboard series is based on a modular design, there can be any
number of module and caption combinations. Some displays may utilize a single
module, while others may consist of multiple modules arranged vertically.

The heavy-gauge aluminum cabinets for the displays have a 2'-4" display face and
they are 7" deep by 9'-0" long. Caption sections are also 9'-0" long, but they measure
only 7" high. Refer to Section 2 for a complete list of weights, dimensions, and
power specifications.

The four basic displays described in this manual are configured as follows:

 Models MS-2014 and MS-2018 consist of two powered sections with digits

indicating clock/score and player/penalty, as well as an unpowered caption
panel. MS-2018 also features an unpowered panel that shows shots on goal.

 Model MS-2015 is a single powered section with digits indicating

clock/score only.

 Model MS-2016 is a three-section display with game time digits as well as

digits indicating home score, period, and guest score.

 Model MS-2017 is a three-section display with game time digits as well as

digits indication home & guest score, period, foul information, player foul
information, possession and bonus..

 Model FB-2006 is a three-section display with powered clock/score and

statistics sections as well as an unpowered caption panel.

Each scoreboard on this series begins with a one- or two-line section, which means
the section either has a single row or two rows of 10" numeric digits. The boards use
either red or amber LEDs (light emitting diode) 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. Because of their
LED technology, the modular scoreboards consume little power, some barely more

4 Introduction

than a household lamp. Power usage for the stackable sections in this series ranges
from 150 W to a maximum of 450 W.

Caption sections are unpowered units that attach to the top or bottom of a digit
section. The caption sections in models MS-2014 and MS-2018 indicate PLAYER
and PENALTY for both teams and use permanent, 5" vinyl captions for the digit
mounted directly below it. The caption section in model FB-2006 indicates DOWN,
yards TO GO, BALL ON and QTR (quarter) for the digit section mounted directly
below it as well. Stackable scoreboard installations may also contain optional ad
panels, attachments which can be used to display sponsor names or other advertising
messages.

The stackable scoreboards have been designed for use with the Daktronics All
Sport 5010 Control Console. The controllers use All Sport 5000 Series sport inserts
(keyboard overlays), and the boards operate without modification on All Sport 5000
signal protocol.

Scoreboard Options

The stackable scoreboards have been designed with several standard options. Popular
add-on features include a 12 V DC horn and changeable captions. Guides for the
changeable caption panels are already installed on the MS-2014 and MS-2018
scoring and caption sections; optional panels can be customized to display team
names or for virtually any other purpose.

Each of the scoreboard options is illustrated and described in Appendix B.

Daktronics scoreboards are differentiated by their model numbers: For all
scoreboards included in this manual, the two-letter prefix, MS-, identifies the model
as a multisport display. The next four numbers identify the specific model.

Most Daktronics scoreboards also carry a two-number suffix that refers to indoor­outdoor status and power supply: -11 and -21 are outdoor, 120 V AC displays,
respectively. The LED scoreboards in this manual are currently configured as -11 or

-21 displays.

Reference drawings are found at the end of this manual in Appendix A: Reference

Section 3: Mechanical Installation

Mechanical Installation involves installing concrete footings and steel beams, attaching the
caption sections to the digit sections, and mounting the digit modules to the structure. These
steps are described in the following sections.

3.1 Installing Beams and Footings

Reference Drawings:

Beam & Footing Recommendations, MS-2014-11 ...... Drawing A-165553

Beam & Footing Recommendations, MS-2015-11 ...... Drawing A-165559

Beam & Footing Recommendations, MS-2018-11 ...... Drawing A-165561

Beam & Footing Recommendations, MS-2016-11 ...... Drawing A-175539

Beam & Footing Recommendations, MS-2017-11 ...... Drawing A-214370

Beam & Footing Recommendations, FB-2006-11/21 .. Drawing A-221087

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. 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. 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.

3.2 Installing Captions Modules

Reference Drawing:

Caption Module Detail .................................................. Drawing A-130840

Attach the caption module to the digit module before attaching the digit module to
the beam support.

The caption modules are attached to the top or bottom of a digit module with No.10
machine screws. Refer to Drawing A-130840. With Models MS-2014-11 and MS­2018-11, attach the caption module to the top of the player/penalty module. With
model FB-2006-11, attach the caption module to the top of the statistics module.

Mechanical Installation 15

Before attaching the caption module, note its orientation. The top and bottom flanges
for holding the caption panel are different sizes. Be sure the module is oriented so
that the deeper flange, or guide, is toward the top.

The scoreboard modules are shipped with the 5" vinyl captions applied, but the
displays are also equipped with the guides needed for use with the optional custom
panels. To insert a caption panel, fit the top edge of the caption into the module's
upper guide, and then slide the bottom edge under the lower flange. Refer to
Drawing A-130840. The construction of the flanges allows the caption panels to be
lifted out for changing, rather than having to slide them out one end.

The caption panels must be properly positioned in relation to the scoreboard digits
for different activities. Refer to the scoreboard options in Appendix B for details on
changeable captions.

3.3 Mounting Digit Modules

Reference Drawings:

Beam Mounting Procedure .......................................... Drawing A-194664

Beam Mounting, Side View ......................................... Drawing A-194671

Beam Mounting, Top View .......................................... Drawing A-194674

Beam Mt., Rear, Vert. Display ..................................... Drawing A-194677

Scoreboard digit modules may be mounted directly to a wall, to universal mounting
struts (channels), or to some other support structure. Modular construction permits
varied configurations, and the unique requirements of each facility will determine the
setup and anchoring method best suited for the display. This manual addresses only
beam mounting.

Daktronics recommends using universal mounting struts, or channels. Use 3/8" bolts
through the holes in both ends of the module frame. For displays with multiple digit
modules, mount the lowest module first and work upward.

Beam Mounting Digit Modules, Outdoor

Because every display is different in terms of module configuration, scoreboard
options, and environment, every installation will be unique. Such beam-mounted
installations require that a qualified engineer provide specifications for both the
reinforced concrete footings and the steel support beams. Two beams are required for
each column of display modules, and they must be set 4'-6" apart, center-to-center.
Installations of vertical displays are shown in Drawing A-194677, which specifies
the overall space requirements for the scoreboards as well as their specific
dimensions.

Each digit module has knockouts in both the rear and the end for power and signal
entrance. Power and signal are brought into one module through these external
knockouts, and connections to other modules are made internally.

16 Mechanical Installation

Once the support beams have been installed, the scoreboard-mounting procedure is
typically a five-step process. Refer to Drawing A-194664 for notes and illustration of the
basic procedure.

1. If you haven't already done so, attach the caption module to the top of the

player/penalty module (MS-2014-11) or to the top of the statistics module (FB­2006-11.) The caption module is fastened with screws to the top of the powered
module, but it does not attach directly to the beam.

2. Begin the installation by attaching mounting brackets to the top and bottom of

the lowest digit module (the player/penalty section in the MS-2014-11 display,
the shots on goal section in the MS-2018-11 or the statistics digit section in the
FB-2006-11). Fasten the brackets to the modules by inserting 10-24 x 5/8"
screws through the holes in each bracket and threading into the captivated nuts
in the back of the module.

3. With the brackets attached, position the module against the beam and secure it

with the 15"-long threaded rods and the other washers and nuts provided. These
1/2-13 x 15" threaded rods, or mounting bolts, do not go through the beam but
pass along either side; no drilling is required. Refer to Drawings A-194671 and
A-194674. The square nuts go inside the bracket, and the hex nuts are used
inside the rear mounting angles that straddle the back of each support beam.
Tighten the assembly with a 3/4" socket, taking care not to over tighten.

4. Position the clock/score module above the caption module. Attach the mounting

brackets to the clock/score section as described in Step 2, and then secure the
module to the beams with bolts, washers, and nuts, as described in the Step 3.

5. Join the caption and clock/score modules together at the ends by inserting

screws up through the holes in the top of the lower module and into the
captivated nuts in the bottom of the upper module.

For scoreboard models other than MS-2014-11, the building process continues in the
same manner for any remaining modules. Caption modules are attached directly to
their adjoining digit modules and do not accept beam mounting brackets. Refer to
Drawing A-194671.

Mechanical Installation 17

Section 4: Electrical Installation

Electrical installation consists of the following process:

 Providing power and ground to a disconnect near the scoreboard;
 Routing power and ground from the main disconnect to the scoreboard power and

signal termination points;

 Connecting the scoreboard ground to a grounding electrode at the scoreboard location;
 Routing control signal cable from the control location to the scoreboard location;
 Routing power and control signal cable into the initial module; and
 Making connections to the adjoining modules.

These steps are described in greater detail in the following sections.

 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.

4.1 Power

The charts in Section 2 list circuit specifications and power requirements for the
sections listed in this manual. Refer to the following sections for details of display
power installation.

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 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.

Grounding

Reference Drawing:

Schematic; Gen III Outdoor LED,

16 Column Drvr ............................................... Drawing A-177931

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.

Electrical Installation 19

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-177931, for information on where to connect 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. 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.

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 driver/power enclosure.
 Use a disconnect that opens all of the ungrounded phase conductors.

Driver; Gen III LED, 16 Col Master .............................. Drawing A-178197

Route power and signal cables into the scoreboard from the rear. There are two
knockouts for conduit connection in the back. All power and signal wiring terminates
at the driver enclosure. Drawing A-178197 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 Drawings A-178197 and
A-177931.

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 3. 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 drawing 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: Driver enclosures in some earlier Daktronics scoreboards included a 120

V power receptacle. There is no 120 V receptacle in Generation III displays. If you
want power to operate the control console at the scoreboard for troubleshooting,
Daktronics recommends that you have the installation electrician provide a 120 V
outlet close to the disconnect box specifically for this purpose.

Route signal cabling to the signal surge arrestor card in the upper left corner of the
driver enclosure. The connections are labeled to permit easy installation.

Electrical Installation 21

At the Signal In terminal block on the printed circuit board (PCB), connect the red

Figure 4: Signal Surge Arrestor Card

signal wire to the positive terminal, the black to the negative terminal, and the shield
(silver) wire to the shield terminal.

It is important that the shield wire is
properly connected to the shield
terminal on the signal surge
arrestor card. Figure 4 on the

previous page illustrates the PCB
and the terminal blocks.

For signal cable, Daktronics
recommends, as a minimum, single­pair, shielded cable, 22 AWG
(Daktronics part number W-1077).
Two-pair shielded cable
(Daktronics part W-1234) is
preferred.

Connections Between Sections

 Note: The power and signal interconnect harnesses referenced in the following

section are factory-installed and in place. Only the final connection between
scoreboard modules is required for field installation. This information is presented
to document the complete installation procedure.

Models MS-2014 and MS-2018 have been configured to operate with a master/slave
driver system. Master and slave drivers function identically, but slave drivers lack
the power terminal block and signal surge arrestor card. The two drivers have been
designed to simply plug into each other via an interconnect harness, the slave
receiving redriven power and signal from the master driver. Larger scoreboards can
have as many drivers 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 enclosure, and
the J42 jack from the master 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.

For access and connection, refer to the component locations drawings and follow this
procedure:

1. Begin electrical installation by routing power and signal cables into the

scoreboard through the rear of the clock/score section. There are two

knockouts for conduit connection on the back panel. There are knockouts

on the side of the cabinet as well, if connection there is more desirable.

Both cables terminate inside the driver enclosure.

2. To access the internal components, open the PERIOD panel on the bottom

row of the section and remove the cover from the driver enclosure.

22 Electrical Installation

3. Power terminates at the power terminal block in the driver tray. Refer to

Drawing A-177931 for wiring termination details.

4. The signal wires from the scoreboard controller connect directly to the

signal surge arrestor card, which is located on the lower left side of the
master driver on the driver tray. Refer to Drawing A-178197 for the exact
location.

There are also several power and signal interconnect cables in the slave sections of
the scoreboards that must be connected to the master driver in the clock/score
module. This involves routing the cables through the 2" holes in the cabinets during
scoreboard mounting. To complete these connections, refer to the following
instructions.

1. Open the access panels in both the top and bottom modules.

2. An 8' power and signal interconnect cable (0A-1192-1029) links the drivers

in the player/penalty module. The cable connects the J42 jack on the A2
driver assembly to the P43 plug on the A3 driver tray. The plugs and jacks
on the cable are connected to the mating connectors on the driver panel. For
field connection, simply match the numbers on the plugs with the numbers
on the jacks and insert. The connectors are all "keyed" – they can fit into the

jacks in one way only ( Note: This cable is factory-installed).

3. Next, in the player/penalty section, a 4' power and signal interconnect

harness (0A-1192-1028) is connected to the P43 plug on the A2 driver
assembly. Pull the cable up through the knockout in the top of the cabinet,
through the caption module, and into the clock/score module.

(  Note: This cable is factory-installed.)

4. In the clock/score module, a second 4' harness (0A-1192-1028) is connected

to J42 on the A1 driver assembly. Pull the cable down to the 2" knockout
area, and connect the jack from this interconnect harness to the plug from
the player/penalty module, which should have been pulled up and into the
top module.

5. Replace covers and panels. If the bottom knockout in the player/penalty

module has been removed, insert a 2" hole plug in the bottom hole of the
lowest module

6. The MS-2018 has an additional shots on goal section that needs to be

connected to the master driver. Route the digit harnesses from the shots on
goal section to the player/penalty section above and plug the harness into
the driver enclosure.

Electrical Installation 23

Section 5: 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.

5.1 Cabinet Specifications

Cabinets for Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards are constructed of heavy-gauge
aluminum. Dimensions and weights for each model are listed in the chart in Section

2. Removable panels for digits and indicators and for component access are detailed
in each model's component locations drawing, listed in Section 5.2 below.

5.2 Component Location and Access

The component locations drawings illustrate placement of all internal parts as well as
the configuration of the face panels for each of the models in this series.

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.

To remove a digit, simply unfasten the screws and carefully lift the unit from the
board. You can then remove the harness from the connector on the back of the digit
to completely free the component.

Remove a non-digit access panel the same way: unfasten the top, side or bottom
screws holding it in place.

electronic components.

Replacing A Digit

Reference Drawings:

Digit Service, Stackable Scoreboards................... Drawing A-156994

Digit Assemblies; Gen III LED Digits..................... Drawing B-177679

The digit circuit board, the platform for the LEDs, is mounted to the back of the digit
panel. Refer to Drawings A-156994 and B-177679 for details. Do not attempt to
remove individual LEDs. In the case of a malfunctioning board, replace the entire
face panel.

To remove a scoreboard digit, follow these steps:

1. Open the face 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.

4. 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 9/32"
nut driver.)

5. Position a new digit over the screws and tighten the nuts.

6. Reconnect the power/signal connector.

 Note: This is a keyed connector. It will attach in one way only.

Do not attempt to force the connection!

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

5.3 LED Drivers

26 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

In the scoreboard, the LED drivers
perform the task of switching
digits on and off. Refer to
Drawing A-178197. 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 shown in the table at
right.

Output connectors 1 through 16 each have nine pins. Pin 7 provides power (hot) to

Figure 5: 16 Column Driver Enclosure

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. Refer to Drawing A-115078 for a listing of the
wire/pin connections for driver addresses 1 – 128.

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 at the beginning of this section 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 the steps below to remove a driver.

1. Open the digit panel or scoreboard face panel as described in Section 5.2.

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: When reconnecting, remember that these are keyed connectors

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 5.

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

Maintenance and Troubleshooting 27

5.4 Segmentation and Digit Designation

Figure 6: Digit Designation

Reference Drawing:

Digit Service, Stackable Scoreboards ......................... Drawing A-156994

In each digit, certain LEDs always go on and off together. These groupings of LEDs
are referred to as segments. The Digit Segments A-G detail on Drawing A-156994
shows which connector pin number is wired to each digit segment, as well as the
wiring color code used throughout the display (illustrated at lower left on drawing).

The component locations drawings in
Section 5.2 specify the driver connectors
controlling the digits. Numbers
displayed in hexagons in the upper half
of each digit, as shown in Figure 6,
indicate which connector is wired to that
digit. (The lower number in the square
indicates nominal digit size.) The
drawings listed at the beginning of this
section also indicate digit designation
and specify the harnesses used for each
of the digit/driver connections.

5.5 Lightening 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 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.

5.6 Troubleshooting

This section lists potential problems with the scoreboard and indicates possible
causes and corrective actions. This list does not include every possible problem, but
does represent some of the more common situations that may occur.

Daktronics shall be under no obligation to furnish continued service under this Warranty if alterations are made to the Equipment
without the prior written approval of Daktronics.

It is specifically agreed that the price of the Equipment is based upon the following limitation of liability. In no event shall
Daktronics (including its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents) be liable for any special, consequential,
incidental or exemplary damages arising out of or in any way connected with the Equipment or otherwise, including but not
limited to damages for lost profits, cost of substitute or replacement equipment, down time, lost data, injury to property or any
damages or sums paid by Purchaser to third parties, even if Daktronics has been advised of the possibility of such damages. The
foregoing limitation of liability shall apply whether any claim is based upon principles of contract, tort or statutory duty, principles
of indemnity or contribution, or otherwise.

In no event shall Daktronics be liable to Purchaser or any other party for loss, damage, or injury of any kind or nature arising out of
or in connection with this Warranty in excess of the purchase price of the Equipment actually delivered to and paid for by the
Purchaser. The Purchaser’s remedy in any dispute under this Warranty shall be ultimately limited to the Purchase Price of the
Equipment to the extent the Purchase Price has been paid.

The Warranty contained herein extends only to the original end-user (which may be the Purchaser) of the Equipment and no
attempt to extend the Warranty to any subsequent user-transferee of the Equipment shall be valid or enforceable without the
express written consent of Daktronics.

Any dispute between the parties will be resolved exclusively and finally by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) and conducted under its rules, except as otherwise provided below. The arbitration will be conducted
before a single arbitrator. The arbitration shall be held in Brookings, South Dakota. Any decision rendered in such arbitration
proceedings will be final and binding on each of the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of competent
jurisdiction. This arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed
by the Federal Arbitration Act.

The rights and obligations of the parties under this warranty shall not be governed by the provisions of the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods of 1980. Both parties consent to the application of the laws of the
State of South Dakota to govern, interpret, and enforce all of Purchaser and Daktronics rights, duties, and obligations arising
from, or relating in any manner to, the subject matter of this Warranty, without regard to conflict of law principles.

For Purchaser’s protection, in addition to that afforded by the warranties set forth herein, Purchaser may purchase extended
warranty services to cover the Equipment. The Extended Service Agreement, available from Daktronics, provides for electronic
parts repair and/or on-site labor for an extended period from the date of expiration of this warranty. Alternatively, an Extended
Service Agreement may be purchased in conjunction with this warranty for extended additional services. For further information,
