2 Introduction
Figure 3: Lifting Methods

Section 2: Mechanical Installation

Mechanical installation consists of installing concrete footing and steel beams and mounting the scoreboard and accompanying ad panels to the beams. The product specification sheets listed in Appendix A include installation specification drawings that show the recommended number of beams and spacing between them. The drawings also indicate the size of beams required to support the scoreboard at different heights and at various wind speeds.
The column and footing size dimensions are to assist with estimating installation costs. They are estimates only and are not intended for actual construction purposes. Be sure that the installation complies with local building codes and is suitable for the particular soil and wind conditions. The columns, footings, and all connection details must be designed and certified by a professional engineer licensed to practice in the state of the scoreboard installation.
Note: Daktronics does not assume any liability for any installation derived from the information provided in this manual or installations designed and installed by others.

2.1 Lifting the Scoreboard

Larger scoreboard sections and message centers are shipped equipped with eyebolts used to lift them. The eyebolts are located along the top of the cabinet for each scoreboard or scoreboard section. Daktronics scoreboards use 1/2" and 5/8" shoulder-type eyebolts mounted to the top of each scoreboard section.
Daktronics strongly recommends using a spreader bar, or lifting bar, to lift the display. Spreader bars ensure the force on the eyebolts remains straight up, minimizing lifting stress.
Figure 3 illustrates the preferred scoreboard lifting method on the left and an acceptable alternative lifting method on the right. When lifting the display:
Use a spreader bar if possible. Use every lifting point provided.
Cables and chains attached to the eyebolts and directly to a center lifting point, as shown in the right-hand example in Figure 3, can create a dangerous lateral force on the eyebolts and may cause the eyebolts to fail. The smaller the angle between the cable and the top of the display, the lighter the sign must be to safely lift it. If this method must be used, ensure a minimum angle between the chain and scoreboard of at least 45°.
Mechanical Installation 3
Figure 4: Eyebolt Plane Load
1) Insert into channel 2) Twist Correct spring nut position
Figure 5: Spring Nut Insertion

Do NOT attempt to lift the display if the angle is less than 45°. Exceeding load angles or weight limits could cause the bolts in the scoreboard cabinet to buckle, resulting in serious damage to the scoreboard or injury to personnel. Also, loads should be applied directly in the plane of the eyebolt as shown in Figure 4.
Note: Daktronics assumes no liability for damages resulting from incorrect setup or lifting methods. Eyebolts are intended for lifting only. Do not attempt to permanently support the display by the eyebolts.
In typical multi-section installations, the lower scoreboard is installed first and secured to the support beams. The upper section is then placed atop or above the lower section and attached to the beams. Refer to Section 3.5 for more information on the power/signal connections between sections.
If installers remove the eyebolts, plug the holes with bolts and the rubber washers that are used with the eyebolts. Apply silicone or another waterproof sealant to the eyebolt openings. Also inspect the top and sides of the display for any other holes or openings that may allow moisture to enter the display and plug and seal those openings.

2.2 Scoreboard Mounting

Two standard mounting methods are available for Daktronics outdoor scoreboards. Both methods require spring nuts to be inserted into the rear channel of the scoreboard:
1. Insert spring nuts into the top and bottom scoreboard channels. Twist the spring nuts
until they are perpendicular to the scoreboard channel (Figure 5).
Note: Each scoreboard section require four spring nuts per beam (two at the top and two at the bottom).
2. Measure the beam spacing and position a spring nut on either side of the beams.
Once the spring nuts are in place, refer to the appropriate section below for the type of mounting hardware provided with the scoreboard.

2.4 Scoreboard Protective Devices

Daktronics makes optional protective devices, including screens and netting, to help prevent damage to the scoreboard due to normal ball impacts.
Note: Some users install devices to protect the scoreboard 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.
Mechanical Installation 9
Figure 11: Wired Installation Example

Section 3: Electrical Installation

CAUTION: Only qualified individuals should terminate power and signal cable and access the electrical components of the display and its associated equipment. It is the responsibility of the electrical contractor to ensure that all electrical work meets or exceeds local and national codes.
Daktronics engineering staff must approve all changes or the warranty will be void.

3.1 Installation Overview

The diagram shown in Figure 11 illustrates a typical wired setup between a multi-section outdoor scoreboard and controller. Daktronics part numbers are shown in parentheses.
Electrical Installation 11
Figure 12: Wireless Installation Example
The diagram shown in Figure 12 illustrates a typical wireless setup between a multi-section outdoor scoreboard and controller.

3.2 Power

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 or injury to personnel.
Multi-section outdoor scoreboards require a dedicated 120 V (or 240 V for international use) circuit for incoming power (refer to Appendix A). The display itself has no breakers or fuses.
WARNING: It is critical that 120 V scoreboard circuits be fused at 20 A and that all conductors used must be designed to pass a 20 A current in normal operation. For 240 V scoreboards, consult local electrical codes. Failure to meet wiring and overcurrent protection device requirements will void the scoreboard warranty.
12 Electrical Installation
Figure 13: Power Warning Label

Grounding

The display must be properly grounded according to local and national codes or the warranty will be void. Proper grounding is necessary for reliable equipment operation and protects the equipment from damaging destructive disturbances and lightning.
Daktronics recommends a resistance-to-ground of 10 ohms or less. The electrical contractor performing the electrical installation can verify ground resistance. Daktronics Sales and Service personnel can also provide this service.
The display system must be earth-ground. The material for an earth-ground electrode differs from region to region and may vary according to conditions present at the site. Consult local and national electrical codes.
Daktronics does not recommend using the support structure as an earth-ground electrode; concrete, primer, corrosion, and other factors make the support structure a poor ground.
Note: The support structure may be used as an earth-ground electrode only if designed to do so. A qualified inspector must approve the support structure and grounding methods.
There are two types of 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. In this circumstance, do not connect neutral to ground at the disconnect or at the display as this would violate electrical codes and void the warranty.
Use a disconnect so that all ungrounded lines 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.

Connection

Both power and signal cables are routed into the scoreboard from the rear via separate conduits. All power and signal wiring terminates at the master driver enclosure. Note that systems with radio control do not require external signal wiring.
Look for a warning label similar to Figure 13 to locate the front access panel to the driver enclosure. Remove the screws or loosen the latches to open the access door panel. Remove the metal cover of the driver enclosure to expose the driver components (Figure 14).
Electrical Installation 13
Figure 14: Driver Enclosure & Power Terminal Block
Figure 15: Digit Segment POST
Refer to the component location drawings attached to the product specification sheets listed in Appendix A for precise power/signal termination location for each model.
Connect the appropriate wires coming through the rear of the scoreboard to the main terminal block, as shown in Figure 14. Note that SIGNAL OUT connects here as well.
Note: If a power receptacle is needed to operate the control console at the scoreboard for troubleshooting, Daktronics recommends that an installation electrician provides a 120 V outlet close to the disconnect box specifically for this purpose.

3.3 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 15 shows an example of the LED bar test pattern that each digit performs.

Radio Settings

If a radio receiver is installed (see Section 5.3), the radio Broadcast
settings (“b1”) and Channel settings (“C1”) will be displayed in the clock
digits or Home and Guest scores during the POST (Figure 16). These values must match the settings in the control console (refer to Figure 17 and the manual listed in Section 1.1).

3.4 Signal Connection

For wired setups, route signal cable through the conduit knockout on the rear of the scoreboard to the signal surge arrestor card (Figure 18), located just above the power termination block in the driver enclosure.
At the SIGNAL IN terminal block, connect red signal wire to positive (+) and black signal wire to negative (–).
Note: Be sure to properly connect the shield (silver) wire to the SHIELD terminal.
To connect signal to auxiliary displays, such as delay of game clocks, route signal wire from SIGNAL OUT on the main terminal block (Figure 14) of the primary scoreboard to SIGNAL IN on the signal card of the auxiliary scoreboard.
For signal cable, Daktronics recommends, as a minimum, single-pair, shielded cable, 22 AWG (part # W-1077). Two-pair shielded cable (part # W-1234) is preferred.

Fiber Optic

Another common signal communication method is fiber optic cabling. A minimum cabling of multi-mode, 62.5/125 um, and 2-core fiber cable is recommended (part # W-1242). The fiber optic cable is terminated to a male ST-type connector and plugged into the mating J26 FIBER jack on the driver (Figure 19). This method requires a signal converter between the All Sport console’s scoreboard output and the fiber optic cable (not provided by Daktronics).
Electrical Installation 15
Figure 20: Power/Signal Connection – Two Sections, Excluding BA (Front View)

Multiple Driver Connections

Some models in the multi-section outdoor scoreboard line require multiple drivers in each scoreboard section and use a master/slave driver system. Master and slave drivers function identically, but slave units lack the power termination block and signal surge suppression card. When one section has multiple drivers, they simply plug into one another, and this is done at the factory. Drivers between sections, however, require additional on-site connection as described in Section 3.5.
Note: Scoreboards capable of displaying speed of pitch (SOP) have an additional master driver. These models also require a separate signal connection (either wired or radio) from a dedicated speed of pitch All Sport 5000 console. Refer to the Baseball Speed of Pitch Systems Configuration Manual (ED-12224), available online at
www.daktronics.com/manuals, for more information about setting up an SOP system.

3.5 Power/Signal Connections Between Sections

Refer to the component location drawings attached to the product specification sheets listed in Appendix A for exact driver locations when connecting multiple scoreboard sections.

Two-Section Models

Open the appropriate access panel on the bottom section to locate the coiled bundle of interconnect cable coming from the driver, then route and connect the cables as described below and shown in Figure 20.
Note: Additional panels may be opened for easier access when routing the cable.
Route the 5-pin interconnect cable from the Bottom Section up into the Top Section, and connect the J43 jack to the P43 plug.
Note: In the MS-2009 and FB-3010, the top section driver is A2. In the MS-2918, the top section driver is A3.

3.6 Lightning Protection

The use of a disconnect near the scoreboard to completely cut all current-carrying lines significantly protects the circuits against lightning damage. 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 circuitry.

If a component fails, Daktronics sends a replacement part to the customer who, in turn, returns the failed component to Daktronics. This decreases equipment downtime. Customers who follow the program guidelines explained below will receive this service.

Before Contacting Daktronics

Identify these important numbers:
Display Assembly Number: ______________________________________________________ Display Model Number: _________________________________________________________ Job/Contract Number: __________________________________________________________ Date Manufactured/Installed: ___________________________________________________ Daktronics Customer ID Number: ________________________________________________
To participate in the Exchange Program, follow these steps:
1. Call Daktronics Customer Service.
2. When the exchange part is received, mail the old part to Daktronics.
If the replacement part fixes the problem, send in the problem part being replaced.
a. Package the old part in the same shipping materials in which the replacement
part arrived.
b. Fill out and attach the enclosed UPS shipping document. c. Ship the part to Daktronics.
3. The defective or unused parts must be returned to Daktronics within 5 weeks of
initial order shipment.
If any part is not returned within five (5) weeks, a non-refundable invoice will be presented to the customer for the costs of replenishing the exchange parts inventory with a new part.
Daktronics reserves the right to refuse parts that have been damaged due to acts of nature or causes other than normal wear and tear.

Section 5: Scoreboard Options

5.1 Team Name Message Centers (TNMCs)

Team Name Message Centers (TNMCs) are programmable LED displays that allow users to show custom Home and Guest names. TNMCs are typically ordered factory-installed but can be field-mounted after the scoreboard is in place.
For more information about TNMCs, contact a Daktronics representative or refer to the
service manual listed in Section 1.2.

5.2 Trumpet Horns

Trumpet horn options are available for installation only on scoreboards that have clocks. There are two types of optional trumpet horns:
Internally mounted 120 V trumpet horn Externally mounted 12 VDC trumpet horn
A 120 V trumpet horn cannot be installed on a 240 V model scoreboard. For more information about trumpet horns, contact a Daktronics representative or refer to the Trumpet Horn Installation Manual (ED-10006), available online at www.daktronics.com/manuals.

5.3 Radio Control

Radio control is an option for all Daktronics outdoor LED scoreboards. The system provides scoreboard control via a 2.4 GHz, extra-high frequency FM signal.
The radio transmitter and receiver are not standard. This setup requires a control console equipped with radio output as well as a radio receiver plugged into the primary driver and mounted internally to the front panel of the scoreboard.
For additional information about this option, contact a Daktronics representative; for complete information on setting up radio communication control, refer to the Gen V Radio Installation Manual (ED-13831) or the Gen VI Radio Installation Manual (DD2362277), both available online at www.daktronics.com/manuals.

5.4 Time Outs Left (T.O.L) Digits

Certain scoreboards have the option to add a time outs left (TOL) digit for both the home and guest teams. These digits are installed by simply unscrewing the blank face panel, connecting and securing the digit panel, and manually applying the “T.O.L.” vinyl caption.
The following scoreboard models in this manual have optional T.O.L. digits:
15" tall digits - FB-2018, FB-2019, FB-2020 18" tall digits - FB-2021, FB-2022
Scoreboard Options 23
Figure 25: Changing Scoreboard Captions

5.5 Changeable Caption Kits

Caption kits contain hardware for one caption only and consist of an upper caption retainer, a lower caption retainer, a changeable caption panel and screws.
The standard HOME and GUEST captions are applied directly to the face of the scoreboard. Team name captions are on changeable panels that fit into retainers mounted above and below the HOME and GUEST captions. If these retainers are not already present, attach the retainers included with the caption kit.
Other caption kits are available to show different information for different sports.
To install a changeable panel:
1. Insert the screws on the caption changing pole (Daktronics part # 0F-1091-0099) into
the keyholes on the panel.
2. Lift the panel all the way up into the upper retainer and then insert the bottom of the
panel into the lower retainer (Figure 25).
3. Take the screws on the caption changing pole out of the keyholes.
Reverse this procedure to remove the caption panel.
The caption changer pole is extendable. Loosen the ring tightener and extend the pole to the desired length, and then tighten the ring before lifting the caption.
CAUTION: The aluminum caption changer can conduct electricity. Do not use it within 20-feet of power lines. Also be careful when using the caption changer in high or gusting winds. Wind may catch the panel and unhook it from the changer or make it difficult to maintain a grip on the pole. Hold the pole tightly in windy conditions.

of Liability
Daktronics Warranty and Limitation of Liability 29
Copyright © Daktronics, Inc. SL-02374 Rev 10 02-Mar-2009 Page 1 of 2
DAKTRONICS
WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
This Warranty and Limitation of Liability (the “Warranty”) sets forth the warranty provided by Daktronics with respect to the Equipment. By accepting delivery of the Equipment, Purchaser agrees to be bound by and accept these terms and conditions. All defined terms within the Warranty shall have the same meaning and definition as provided elsewhere in the Agreement.
DAKTRONICS WILL ONLY BE OBLIGATED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UPON RECEIPT OF FULL PAYMENT FOR THE EQUIPMENT.
1. Warranty Coverage
2. Exclusion from Warranty Coverage
A. Daktronics warrants to the original end-user that the Equipment will be free from Defects (as defined below) in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) year (the “Warranty Period”). The warranty period shall commence on the earlier of: (i) four weeks from the date that the equipment leaves Daktronics’ facility; or (ii) Substantial Completion as defined herein. The warranty period shall expire on the first anniversary of the commencement date.
“Substantial Completion” means the operational availability of the Equipment to the Purchaser in accordance with the Equipment’s specifications, without regard to punch-list items, or other non-substantial items which do not affect the operation of
the Equipment.
B. Daktronics’ obligation under this Warranty is limited to, at Daktronics’ option, replacing or repairing, any Equipment or part thereof that is found by Daktronics not to conform to the Equipment’s specifications. Unless otherwise directed by Daktronics,
any defective part or component shall be returned to Daktronics for repair or replacement. Daktronics may, at its option, provide on-site warranty service. Daktronics shall have a reasonable period of time to make such replacements or repairs and all labor associated therewith shall be performed during regular working hours. Regular working hours are Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the location where labor is performed, excluding any holidays observed by either Purchaser or Daktronics.
C. Daktronics shall pay ground transportation charges for the return of any defective component of the Equipment. If returned Equipment is repaired or replaced under the terms of this warranty, Daktronics will prepay ground transportation charges back to Purchaser; otherwise, Purchaser shall pay transportation charges to return the Equipment back to the Purchaser. All returns must be pre-approved by Daktronics before shipment. Daktronics shall not be obligated to pay freight for any unapproved return. Purchaser shall pay any upgraded or expedited transportation charges.
D. Any replacement parts or Equipment will be new or serviceably used, comparable in function and performance to the original part or Equipment, and warranted for the remainder of the Warranty Period. Purchasing additional parts or Equipment from the Seller does not extend this Warranty Period.
E. Defects shall be defined as follows. With regard to the Equipment (excepting LEDs), a “Defect” shall refer to a material variance from the design specifications that prohibit the Equipment from operating for its intended use. With respect to LEDs, “Defects” are defined as LED pixels that cease to emit light. The limited warranty provided by Daktronics does not impose any duty or liability upon Daktronics for partial LED pixel degradation. Nor does the limited warranty provide for the replacement or installation of communication methods including but not limited to, wire, fiber optic cable, conduit, trenching, or for the purpose of overcoming local site interference radio equipment substitutions.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS THE ONLY WARRANTY APPLICABLE TO THE EQUIPMENT AND REPLACES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SPECIFICALLY, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, THE SELLER UNDERTAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE QUALITY OF THE EQUIPMENT OR THAT THE EQUIPMENT WILL BE FIT FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE FOR WHICH PURCHASER MAY BE BUYING THE EQUIPMENT. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION, OR ADVICE GIVEN BY THE COMPANY, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES, SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY OR IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS NOT TRANSFERABLE.
The limited warranty provided by Daktronics does not impose any duty or liability upon Daktronics for:
A Any damage occurring, at any time, during shipment of Equipment unless otherwise provided for in the Agreement. When returning Equipment to Daktronics for repair or replacement, Purchaser assumes all risk of loss or damage, and agrees to use any shipping containers that might be provided by Daktronics and to ship the Equipment in the manner prescribed by Daktronics;
B. Any damage caused by the unauthorized adjustment, repair or service of the Equipment by anyone other than personnel of Daktronics or its authorized repair agents;
Copyright © Daktronics, Inc. SL-02374 Rev 10 02-Mar-2009 Page 2 of 2
C. Damage caused by the failure to provide a continuously suitable environment, including, but not limited to: (i) neglect or misuse, (ii) a failure or sudden surge of electrical power, (iii) improper air conditioning or humidity control, or (iv) any other cause other than ordinary use;
D. Damage caused by fire, flood, earthquake, water, wind, lightning or other natural disaster, strike, inability to obtain materials or utilities, war, terrorism, civil disturbance or any other cause beyond Daktronics’ reasonable control;
E. Failure to adjust, repair or replace any item of Equipment if it would be impractical for Daktronics personnel to do so because of connection of the Equipment by mechanical or electrical means to another device not supplied by Daktronics, or the existence of general environmental conditions at the site that pose a danger to Daktronics personnel;
F. Any statements made about the product by salesmen, dealers, distributors or agents, unless such statements are in a written document signed by an officer of Daktronics. Such statements as are not included in a signed writing do not constitute warranties, shall not be relied upon by Purchaser and are not part of the contract of sale;
G. Any damage arising from the use of Daktronics products in any application other than the commercial and industrial applications for which they are intended, unless, upon request, such use is specifically approved in writing by Daktronics; or
H. Any performance of preventive maintenance.
3. Limitation of Liability
4. Assignment of Rights
5. Dispute Resolution
6. Governing Law
7. Availability of Extended Service Agreement
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, contact Daktronics Customer Service at 1-800-DAKTRONics (1-800-325-8766).
