1.2 Daktronics Nomenclature
To fully understand some Daktronics drawings, such as schematics, it is necessary to know how
various components are labeled in those drawings. You will find this information useful when trying
to communicate maintenance or troubleshooting efforts.
The label "A" on a drawing item typically denotes an assembly. An assembly can be a single circuit
board or a collection of components that function together, usually mounted on a single plate or in a
single enclosure.
In addition, the following labeling formats might be found on various Daktronics drawings:
+ "TB_ _" denotes a termination block for power or signal cable.
+ "F_ _" denotes a fuse.
+ "E_ _" denotes a grounding point.
+ "J_ _" denotes a power or signal jack.
+ "P_ _" denotes a power or signal plug for the opposite jack.
