Figure 4: Cart Assembly, Side View
Section 3: Mechanical Installation
Mechanical installation involves assembly of the cart. The scoreboard itself requires no assembly or
permanent installation. Some assembly is required, however, for certain scoreboard options.
The display cart, as shown in Figure 4, comes standard
with two wheels, but may use four if ordered. Open the
cart kit and verify the following pieces are included:
A 3/4" wrench will be needed to attach the wheels.
Refer to Drawing A-159889 in Appendix A and the
following instructions to assemble the cart:
1. Insert the axle tubes into the T-stands, and secure them with pins and retaining clips.
2. Mount the scoreboard by inserting the two T-stands into the larger tube attachments
on the sides of the scoreboard, and secure the stands with pins and retaining clips.
(The tubes mounted on either side of the scoreboard are permanent attachments; do
not remove them during cart disassembly.)
3. Mount the first wheel to one end of the T-stand, using a washer as a spacer, and
secure the wheel with an axle bolt. Repeat the process for the second wheel, and
tighten the bolts with a 3/4" wrench.
Note: Two more optional wheels may be installed on the opposite T-stand.
3.2 Adjusting the Cart
Drawing A-159886 in Appendix A shows the two axle positions that may be used with the
cart. The extended axle position provides maximum stability and is recommended for any
situation in which the scoreboard is raised. Use the narrow axle position (and lowest height)
to move the scoreboard through doorways and for storage. The drawing also illustrates front
profiles of the scoreboard in transport position and at maximum viewing height.
Mechanical Installation 5
Page 12
There are three height-adjustment holes in the support tubes on the sides of the scoreboard.
Raise the scoreboard for viewing by removing the pins and retaining clips, sliding the
scoreboard upward on the T-stands and reinserting the pins in the appropriate holes. Lower
the scoreboard for storage or transportation. It may be helpful to have one person lift the
scoreboard while another person adjusts the locking pins.
Caution! Do not raise the scoreboard in high winds or transport the scoreboard in the raised
position. These actions increase the likelihood of tipping over and damaging the scoreboard.
Ad Panel Installation, MS-2013.............................................................................. A-160057
Caption Kits
The MS-2013 is shipped as a generic multisport scoreboard with a standard clock/score
caption arrangement. The face of the scoreboard displays game time, home and guest scoring,
and period. Four optional caption kits give the scoreboard added versatility:
The aluminum caption panels are applied to the scoreboard face with hook-and-loop fastener
strips. They can be easily removed and replaced for various events, leaving the hook strips
attached to the face of the scoreboard. Refer to DrawingA-159890 in Appendix A for an
illustration of the various caption configurations.
Scoreboard Cover
The aluminum cover protects the MS-2013 during transportation and storage. Flanges on the
cover fit into slots on either side of the scoreboards, and the cover simply slides into place
using handles on the front. Drawing A-160060 in Appendix A illustrates the cover installation.
Note: If a radio antenna is installed on the face of the scoreboard it is highly recommended
to remove the antenna before installing or removing the cover. Refer to Section 4.3 for
more information about radio installations.
Ad Panel
A custom advertising/school logo panel may be added to the MS-2013. Threaded inserts in the
top of the scoreboard cabinet allow attachment using only three screws. The 12" H x 52" W
(305 mm, 1.32 m) aluminum panel runs the full width of the scoreboard. Drawing A-160057 in
Appendix A illustrates the ad panel installation.

Figure 5: Control Panel
Section 4: Electrical Operation
The MS-2013 can be powered by two different electrical systems: a standard 120 VAC power source
and/or enclosed lead-acid batteries.
4.1 Power & Signal Access
Power and control connections for the MS-2013 are located in a
compartment on the rear of the scoreboard (Figure 5).
To open the rear compartment, turn the adjustable latch a quarterturn to the left. To close, shut the access door and turn the latch to
the right. If the latch will not engage because it is too tight, make
several turns to the left, and then turn back to the right to latch
and tighten.
The compartment is also designed for storage of the control
equipment. The compartment door can be closed with the power
and signal cords extending through the slot below the door.
Note: If the scoreboard came with a 100' (30.5 m) signal cable,
there will be two hooks on the rear of the scoreboard which
the cable may be wrapped around for storage.
Power for the scoreboard is provided in two ways: via standard 120 VAC line, or by means of
two sealed lead-acid DC batteries. Daktronics supplies two 12 V Panasonic® batteries (Model
LC-X1228P), rated at 28 ampere hours (A/H) as original equipment. Refer to Section 5 for
information on battery care and use of the on-board battery charger.
The provided 8' (2.4 m) 120 VAC power cord plugs directly into the POWER IN 120V AC
receptacle, located in the rear compartment on the back panel of the scoreboard (Figure 5).
Any time 120 VAC power is connected, the internal charger operates; however, the system
will not overcharge the batteries. When the power cord is not connected, the system runs on
battery power.
The MS-2013 is shipped ready for use. The battery charger is factory-mounted in the
scoreboard, and all internal wiring is in place and connected to the driver and batteries.
Electrical Operation 7
Page 14
The ON/OFF control switch (Figure 5) activates power to the internal scoreboard
components, as well as to the radio receiver or control console.
Turn the switch to ON for scoreboard operation.
At all other times, keep the switch in the OFF position.
Whether or not the scoreboard is operational, its batteries will continue to discharge any time
the switch is in the ON position. Leaving the switch ON when the unit is not in use could
completely discharge and damage the batteries.
Refer to Drawing A-159887 in Appendix A for component locations and illustrations of
internal and external wiring. Drawing B-158030 provides a detailed wiring schematic of
internal scoreboard components for advanced troubleshooting.
Daktronics recommends that the scoreboard remains plugged in to a 120 VAC power source
during storage. Battery life is enhanced by keeping the batteries fully charged. Typically,
batteries will be fully charged in about 12 hours and will give about 14 hours performance on
a full charge.
4.3 Signal
Reference Drawings:
System Riser Diagrams- MS-2013-11 ................................................................... A-160237
The MS-2013 can receive control signal three different ways, described below. Refer also to
Drawing A-160237 in Appendix A for diagrams of each of these control setups.
Setup 1 (Standard): A wireless RC-100 handheld controller communicates with a
radio base station installed inside the scoreboard.
Setup 2 (Optional): A 4-pin cable connects the scoreboard directly to the All Sport.
The cable transmits signal output to the scoreboard and power input to the controller.
Setup 3 (Optional): A control console equipped with radio transmitter and its own
battery pack or a separate power cord communicates with a radio receiver installed
inside the scoreboard.
Connecting Signal Cable
If the scoreboard was ordered with a wired control console, simply plug the signal cable into
the jack labeled CONTROL CONSOLE CONNECT (Figure 5) Attach the mating plug to the
modified power cord from the All Sport controller. Extension cables are also available from
Daktronics if more than the 100' (30.5 m) of control cable provided is needed.

The RC-100 base station and All Sport radio receiver are typically held in place with
adhesive-backed, hook-and-loop fastener strips, and when ordered as original equipment
may already be installed. The only installation required is attachment of the radio antenna,
which may have been shipped separately to prevent damage.
If the base station or receiver is not already installed:
1. Access the inside of the scoreboard by removing the three (3) screws securing the rear
access panel and swinging it open.
2. Position the unit inside the scoreboard so the antenna connector can extend through
the hole in the upper-right corner on the front of the scoreboard.
3. Remove the backing from the fastener strips on the unit.
4. Insert the antenna jack through the hole, and then firmly press the unit against the
interior front panel, sticking the fastener's adhesive to the sheet metal.
5. Route and connect the cable protruding from the bottom of the unit to the mating 6-
pin jack directly on the LED driver.
Note: For models built prior to April 2015, the radio cable will connect to the 5-pin
jack labeled “J45” coming from the LED driver.
6. Close and secure the rear access panel.
7. From the front face of the scoreboard, note that the antenna connector now protrudes
through the panel.
a. Install and tighten the lock washer and nut on the antenna connector.
b. Mount the external antenna on the connector, turning the nut on the antenna
until it is snug.
c. Rotate the antenna so that it is pointing straight upward (it should look like a
capital “L” when viewed from the side).
Setting the Base Station Function
The base station is preset to Function 2 or 5, Channel 1. If the default settings do not appear to
work, refer to Drawings A-236394 and A-244926 for instruction on changing these settings.
For more information, refer to the RC-100 manual listed in Section 1.1.
Setting the Radio Receiver Channel
The radio receiver is preset to Channel 1. If there are other scoreboards in the facility
operating with radio signal, each scoreboard receiver must be set to a different channel
number (typically starting with 1 and numbering consecutively). Refer to Drawing A-1109181.
Refer to the Gen VI Radio Installation Manual (DD2362277) for more information.

4.4 Power-On Self-Test (POST)
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 of time. Each scoreboard self-test pattern will vary depending
on the scoreboard model, the number of drivers, and types of digits. Figure 6 shows an
example of the LED bar test pattern that each digit performs.
Radio Settings
With an RC-100 base station installed, the channel settings (“C 01”) will be displayed in the
clock digits (Figure 7) during the POST. If an All Sport radio receiver is installed, both the
broadcast setting (“b1”) and the channel setting (“C1”) will be displayed. These values must
match the settings in the controller (refer to appropriate manual in Section 1.1).

Section 5: Battery Care & Charging
This section describes care and operation of the MS-2013 on-board battery charging system.
On a full charge, the two internal batteries provide enough power for approximately 14 hours
of normal operation. Keeping the batteries charged will help extend their life. Be sure that the
batteries are fully charged before storing the scoreboard during the off-season; storing the
scoreboard with a discharged battery can contribute to early battery failure. Daktronics
recommends keeping the scoreboard plugged in to a 120 VAC receptacle during storage.
The Guest® ChargePro on-board battery charger is designed both to recharge the batteries of
the scoreboards and to extend battery life in applications where scoreboard and batteries are
stored for long periods of time. The charger is located in the cabinet interior, attached to the
right side of the scoreboard back sheet (as viewed with the rear access panel open). The
charger is connected to the transformer next to the driver enclosure, and to the batteries.
Refer to Drawing A-159887 in Appendix A.
The charger, shown in Figure 8, is fully automatic and can
be connected to the twin 12 V lead-acid batteries
indefinitely without risk of overcharging. The 28 A/H
batteries provided with the scoreboard will typically be
fully recharged after about 12 hours.
The ChargePro is a three-stage, "smart" charger, and its
regulated output recharges the battery in the safest, fastest
way possible. Once a battery has been recharged, the
ChargePro supplies just enough electricity to compensate
for the charge a battery loses during storage. Unlike most
automotive "trickle" chargers, the unit will not boil off the
electrolyte in a lead-acid battery when left unattended.
Battery Care & Charging 11

Scoreboard
Operating Condition
High Charge
Red ON
Green OFF
When just the red LED is on, it indicates that the batteries
are discharged and the charger is recharging them at the
BULK rate of 6 A (stage 1).
While the red LED is on, the voltage measured (with the
charger on) should be 11.8–14 V.
If the red LED stays on for more than 48 hours, refer to the
Charger Troubleshooting Table.
Medium Charge
Red ON
Green ON
When both the green and the red LEDs are on, the unit is
charging at an ABSORPTION rate of 2-6 A (stage 2).
This mode of charging gradually "tops off" the batteries
and reduces harmful sulfating.
While both LEDs are on, the voltage measured (with the
charger on) should be approximately 14 V.
If both LEDs stay on longer than 48 hours, refer to the
Charger Troubleshooting Table.
Float Charge
Red OFF
Green ON
When just the green LED is on, the unit is charging at a
FLOAT rate of less than 2 A (stage 3). The batteries are now
90 percent charged and ready for use.
This "float" charging current will gradually decrease to as
low as 0.1 A over the next day as the batteries reach 100
percent charge. They will now be kept at full charge without
overcharging.
If the green LED stays on and the battery is known to be low,
refer to the Charger Troubleshooting Table.
To operate the charger, simply plug the scoreboard's power cord into a standard 120 VAC,
60 Hz outlet. Red and green LED indicators on the charger, visible through holes on the
exterior back panel, indicate the recharging status. A label at this location also describes
charging levels.
Note: When the batteries are connected, they will continuously supply power to the
driver, even if the digits are blank. Make sure that the unit is switched ON only during
an event or when testing. At all other times, the switch should be in the OFF position.
The table below describes how the charger indicators operate:

Operation
If the ChargePro encounters a DC overload (excessive demand), it will reduce its output
voltage to a safe level to prevent damage. If the positive and negative connectors are touched
together, creating a short, the charger will instantly reduce its output voltage to nearly 0 V.
When the overload is removed, the charger automatically resumes normal operation.
If the in-line 10 A, 32 VDC fuse in either cable blows due to improper connection to a battery,
replace the fuse with an identical 10 A fuse only (Daktronics part # F-1006). Never replace a
blown fuse with a higher-value fuse.
The charger is waterproof, but the AC plug and DC bolt-type connectors should be kept dry.
It is normal for the charger to become warm during operation; consequently, it should not
contact any surface other than the scoreboard cabinet.

Radio Interference
The on-board battery charger generates and can radiate radio frequency energy. The
equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to FCC rules, Part 15.
With proper installation, there should be no interference with any radio communications,
either with the scoreboard's own receiver or other radio-controlled devices in the immediate
area. However, if it is determined that this device may be the cause of radio interference, try
to correct the interference with one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
Connect the equipment to an AC outlet on a circuit different from the receiver.
5.2 Battery & Charging Safety
Note: The following lists are general safety instructions when working with lead-acid
batteries. Some of the safety considerations are not applicable to the sealed batteries provided
with the MS-2013 as those batteries are self-contained and cannot be opened, and they are
safer than automotive batteries that require servicing. Exercise caution, however, when
working with any lead-acid battery.
Personal Safety Precautions
Someone should be within range of your voice or close enough to come to your aid
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts your skin,
Wear complete eye protection and clothing protection. Avoid touching your eyes
14 Battery Care & Charging
If battery acid does contact skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.
when you work near a lead-acid battery.
clothing, or eyes.
while working near the battery.
If you get acid in your eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at
least 10 minutes, and get medical attention immediately.
Page 21
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame near the battery.
Be extra cautious while servicing the scoreboard to reduce the risk of dropping a tool
onto the battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery or another electrical part,
which could cause an explosion.
Remove all personal metal items such as rings, watches, and other jewelry when
working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or similar item to metal, causing severe burns.
Use the charger for charging LEAD-ACID batteries only. It is not intended to
recharge common dry cell batteries, which may burst and cause injury to people and
damage to property.
NEVER charge a frozen battery.
DC Connection Precautions
1. Check the polarity markings on the battery.
2. Attach the positive ring terminals (red or white wires with fuse) from each cable on
the charger to the positive (+) terminals of the batteries.
3. Attach the negative ring terminals (black wires) from each cable on the charger to the
negative (-) terminals of the batteries.
4. When disconnecting the charger, first disconnect (unplug) the AC power cord, then
remove the negative ring terminal from the battery's negative (-) terminal, and
remove the positive ring terminals last.

Possible Cause
Solution/Items to Check
Bad digit or driver
Exchange the digit/driver with a
working one of the same part # to
verify the problem. Replace if
necessary (see Section 6.3 for
digits or Section 6.4 for drivers).

digits do not light
Bad digit or driver
(see solution above)
Incorrect sport code
(see solution on previous page)
Incorrect driver address
(see solution on previous page)
Wrong console controlling
scoreboard
Another console’s radio signal could
be transmitting to the scoreboard.
An example would be football and
baseball scoreboards that are within
1500' (457 m) of each other.
Radio interference
There may be other radio
transmissions in the area that
overpower the console. If it is not
possible to disable the interfering
device, It may be necessary to run a
wired signal connection instead.
In the MS-2013, the entire back panel is hinged on the right side (as viewed from the rear). To
gain access to the internal scoreboard components, simply remove the three screws securing
the back panel to the scoreboard cabinet, and swing it open. Drawing A-159887 in Appendix
A illustrates the back panel open and all of the internal components exposed.
Note: Disconnect power before servicing the scoreboard! Also turn power OFF when the
scoreboard is not in use. In addition to discharging the scoreboard batteries, prolonged
power-on may shorten the life of some electronic components.

Segmentation, 7 Segment Bar Digit ........................................................................ A-38532
In each digit, certain LEDs always go on and off together. These groups of LEDs are called
segments. Drawing A-38532 in Appendix A details which connector pin is wired to each
digit segment and the wiring color code used throughout the scoreboard.
Drawing A-159887 in Appendix A indicates the driver connectors controlling the digits.
The numbers shown in the upper half of a digit indicate which driver connector is wired to it.

6.4 LED Driver
The LED driver performs the task of switching digits on and off within the scoreboard.
LED drivers are located inside of a driver enclosure. Refer to Drawing A-159887 in Appendix A to view the location and components of the driver enclosure.
When troubleshooting driver problems, several LEDs provide diagnostic information.
The number of LEDs and their function depends on the driver type.
Note: While it is necessary to have the scoreboard powered on to check the LED
indicators, always disconnect scoreboard power before servicing.

Replacing a Driver
1. Open the back panel as described in Section 6.2.
2. Remove the metal cover of the driver enclosure to expose the driver components.
3. Disconnect all connectors from the driver by squeezing together the locking tabs and
pulling the connectors free. It may be helpful to label the cables to know which cable
goes to which connector when reattaching the driver.
4. Remove the screws or nuts securing the driver to the inside of the enclosure.
5. Carefully lift the driver from the display and place it on a clean, flat surface.
6. Position a new driver over the screws and tighten the nuts.
7. Reconnect all power/signal connectors. Note that the connectors are keyed and will
attach in one way only. Do not attempt to force the connections.
8. Ensure the driver is set to the correct address (refer to Setting the Driver Address).
9. Close and secure the back panel, then power up and test the scoreboard to see if
changing the driver has resolved the problem.

Figure 11: Driver Address Dip Switch (prior to April 2015)
Setting the Driver Address
Since the same LED drivers can be used for many
scoreboard models, each driver must be set to receive
the correct signal input, or address, for the model
being used.
The MS-2013 will always be set to address 11.
Addresses are set through the S2 (L) and S3 (H) rotary
switches on the driver (Figure 10) using a small
flathead screwdriver. For address 11, set the
H switch to “0” and the L switch to “B”.
Note: For models built
prior to April 2015, the
driver address was set
via the S1 dip switch
(Figure 11) using a pen or
small, pointed object. For
address 11, set switches 1,
2, and 4 to ON.
As the batteries age, they may lose capacity to sufficiently operate the scoreboard, even on a
full charge. When replacement becomes necessary, Daktronics recommends the same brand
battery installed as original equipment. Similar batteries may be used as long as they meet the
specifications for the scoreboard. If a different brand must be used, be sure that the terminals
are oriented the same as in the original to ensure a proper connection. Refer to Section 6.7 for
Daktronics replacement part numbers for batteries and fuses.
Drawing A-159891 in Appendix A illustrates battery service. Mounting brackets hold the
batteries in place at the bottom of the scoreboard. The bracket is designed to hold batteries
measuring 7" high, 6.5" wide, and 5" deep (178 mm, 165 mm, 127 mm). The bracket will not
support a battery of different dimensions.
To replace the batteries:
1. Open the back panel as described in Section 6.2.

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.
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,
