Figure 6: LED Digit Panel (Not to Scale)
Digit panels have been simplified on the outdoor LED
scoreboards. They are held in place on the scoreboard
face by an offset flange across the top and by a single
screw at the bottom. See Figure 6 at right. Open the
scoreboard with care. Hold the digit panel in place by
putting hand pressure on it while removing the screw,
and carefully lift it from the board, sliding it down and
out. If the panel is not held in place, it will drop
immediately when the screw is removed, possibly
damaging LEDs or the digit harness. Refer to
Drawing A-135662, A-145339, and A-135538.
