operation and accuracy.

Six display models, H-813S, H-2013S, H-2813S, H-813B, H-2013B, and H-2813B are covered by this
manual, which is provided to assist you in installing and operating your system, and as an aid to you if
the display needs service.

1.1 How To Use This Manual

This manual explains the installation, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of the East
Carolina University display system. For questions regarding the safety, installation, operation

Section 2: INSTALLATION

Reference Drawings: Scoreboard Mounting............................................Drawing A-26861

Display Interconnections ......................................Drawing A-28822

Signal Connection, 16-Pin....................................Drawing A-31808

Refer to Drawing A-32236 for general system configuration.

1. Provide grounded 120 VAC circuits to display and control locations.

2. Route control signal cable in conduit from the control location to the display location. Two

pairs of conductors (22 AWG min.) are required for each display. One-half-inch conduit is
adequate for these wires.

3. If existing cable in good condition is available, four conductors from it may be used. Cable

should run less than 1000 feet from the control location to the display. For greater lengths,
contract Daktronics.

4. Mount the display sections as described below and Drawing A-26861.

5. For dot-digit models, H-2013S and H-2813S, connect display sections together as shown in
Drawing B-28822. These connections are not applicable for dot-digit model H-813S or any

bar-digit model.

6. Make electrical connections as described in Drawing A-31808 and Section 2.2.

2.1 Mounting

Holes for lifting the display and for attaching the display to the wall are provided in the frame
of the display, as shown in Drawing A-26861.

Due to the variety of wall materials used in sports facilities, we can not anticipate your needs
and provide a mounting bolt or anchor suited to your installation. Suitable mounting
hardware may be purchased at your local hardware store. Bolts with expansion or toggle
anchors are available for a variety of wall materials. Be sure that the method you choose is
adequate to safely support the weight of the display.

Use the holes in the end of the frame to lift the display. Secure the display to the wall with the
holes in the back, as shown in Drawing A-26861. Two holes at the bottom of the display are
provided to secure the bottom of the display to the wall in a similar manner.

2.2 Electrical Installation

Electrical installation involves routing of power and control signal wiring through separate
conduit or wire ways. Control signal cable is not provided as part of this system and can be
purchased locally.
