Daktronics BB-2101 Tuff Sport Basketball LED Scoreboard - Manual (Page 17)

Mechanical Installation 11
Notes:
1) Daktronics recommends that two cables be used at each end of the scoreboard.
2) Cables and hardware must be specified by a licensed engineer.
3) Do not attach suspension hardware to ad panels – attach to top of scoreboard.
4) This installation method must not be used to support scoreboard with message
centers and/or backlit ad panels attached.
5) The total weight of scoreboard and accessories must not exceed 500 lb (223 kg).
Similar to the eyebolts used to lift the scoreboard, the suspension eyebolts have a maximum
angle at which they can safely support the display. The ideal angle is perpendicular to the top
of the scoreboard, but this angle may extend up to 30° out to either side of the display.
Refer to Drawing A-148644 in Appendix C for more information.
3.4 Shot Clock Mounting
Single-sided shot clocks may be mounted to a wall in the same manner as a scoreboard or
statistics display. Multi-sided shot clocks are frequently mounted to vertical backstop
supports. Refer to Drawing A-91230 in Appendix C for game/shot clock mounting
information.
Note: Daktronics does not supply the hardware or brackets to mount shot clocks to
backstops and is not responsible for the integrity of suitability of mounting systems
manufactured and installed by others.
3.5 Corner Mounting
Certain scoreboard models may be mounted in a corner, rather than flat against the wall,
using a special mounting bracket kit. For more information on the corner mounting option,
refer to Drawing A-150831 in Appendix C.
3.6 Ad Panel Mounting
Refer to Drawing A-147668 in Appendix C for typical ad panel mounting (similar to
Scoreboard & Statistics Display Mounting shown above) or Drawing A-156134 for
instructions on mounting ad panels to the top or bottom of a scoreboard.
3.7 Scoreboard Protective Devices
Daktronics Tuff Sport displays have been designed so that a normal basketball or volleyball
impact will not damage the LEDs or display cabinet, reducing the need for protective devices.
Some users, however, may still wish to have additional protection from other projectiles, and
in these cases, Daktronics provides optional protective devices. Refer to the Protective Screen
Installation Instructions (ED-5423), available online at
www.daktronics.com/manuals for
more information about installing protective devices.
Note: 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.
