2 Introduction

Section 2: Mechanical & Electrical Installation

The TI-2031 and TI-3031 locker room clocks are equipped with 4" (102 mm) red LED digits. The displays
are connected to the signal from the main scoreboard in the facility and will display the same time that is
shown on the scoreboard.

There are two primary methods of installing these locker room clocks: 1) surface mounted on the wall
with mounting screws or anchors, or 2) flush mounted in the wall between standard spaced 16" studs.

Reference Drawing:

Installation DWG; TI-2031/3031 Locker Room Clock .......................... Drawing B-1064515

2.1 Surface Mount Method

The surface mount cabinet mounts centered over an electrical outlet and uses the deep rear
mounting panel.

1. Drill holes in the wall and install anchors or screws at the locations shown in Drawing

B-1064515. The customer is responsible for providing mounting anchors or screws.

2. Install a 120 V AC, 15 amp electrical outlet or use an existing outlet that is located where

the display will be installed. The outlet should be positioned behind the clock cabinet so
that the wall pack transformer fits in the recessed area of the rear mounting panel.

3. Mount the rear panel on anchor screws and tighten snuggly.

4. Route the signal cable to the clock mounting location and allow it to extend at least 12"

(305 mm) beyond the wall.

5. Connect the signal wire to plug P-1388 signal terminal on the left side of the display

(when viewed from the rear). Connect the red signal wire to the positive (+) jack labeled
“CL-IN” and the white signal wire to the negative (-) jack labeled “CL-IN”.

6. Plug the wall pack transformer into the power jack located below the signal terminal, and

plug the wall pack into the electrical outlet.

7. Line up and mate the rear and front cabinet pieces. Attach the pieces together with

included screws.

Mechanical & Electrical Installation 3

2.2 Flush Mount Method

The flush mount cabinet mounts between two 2x4 studs and uses the flush mount rear panel.

1. Drill holes in the wall and install anchors or screws at the locations shown in Drawing

B-1064515. The customer is responsible for providing mounting anchors or screws.

2. Rough out the power supply and signal recess behind cabinet mounting location as

depicted in Drawing B-1064515.

3. Install a 120 V AC, 15 amp electrical outlet on the stud behind the drywall behind the

opening for the clock. This will allow the wall pack transformer to be plugged in and be
out of the way of the clock when the clock is installed in the wall.

4. Route the signal cable to the clock mounting location and allow it to extend at least 12"

(305 mm) beyond the wall.

5. Plug the wall pack transformer into the outlet.

6. Mount the flush-style rear cabinet panel and tighten the anchor screws as needed.

7. Connect the signal wire to plug P-1388 signal terminal on the left side of the display

(when viewed from the rear). Connect the red signal wire to the positive (+) jack labeled
“CL-IN” and the white signal wire to the negative (-) jack labeled “CL-IN”.

8. Plug the wall pack transformer into the power jack located below the signal terminal.

9. Line up and mate the rear and front cabinet pieces. Attach the pieces together with

included screws.

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,
