Drawing A-191155 in Appendix A provides a general overview of what the final product
will look like attached to a backboard. Daktronics provides several LED lighting kits based on
the size and manufacturer of the backboard. Refer to the appropriate drawing for installation
instructions of a particular backboard.
Note: The universal mounting kit also features an adjustable mounting option. Refer to
Drawing A-276046 in Appendix A for more information.
If an LED strip controller box is used to run the backboard light strips, attach mounting
brackets to the controller and attach it to the backstop. Refer to Drawing A-176435 in
Appendix A for mounting details.

Connection Details, LED Light Strip Controller ...................................... Drawing B-191995
The LED backboard lighting typically receives power/signal from one of three places:
1. A shot clock equipped with an LED lighting XLR jack
2. An LED light strip controller box
3. A transparent shot clock controller box with an LED lighting XLR jack
Drawing B-191771 in Appendix A explains how to connect the light strips together. Use the
30' (9.1 m) jumper cable provided with the kit to connect the XLR plug protruding from the
bottom of the LED light strip to one of the above sources. If the jumper cable is too long, cut it
and reattach the XLR plug to the end.
Drawing B-191955 in Appendix A illustrates a typical setup using both controller and shot
clocks for light strip power. The mating XLR jacks on the light strip controller are shown in
the rear views on Drawing A-176435. For shot clock XLR jack locations, refer to the specific
component location drawings included in the shot clock’s manual.
