Electrical Installation

Connection

Both power and signal cables are routed into the scoreboard from the rear via separate
conduits. All power and signal wiring terminates at the primary driver enclosure. Note that
systems with radio control do not require external signal wiring.

Look for a warning label similar to Figure 15 to locate the
front access panel to the driver enclosure. Remove the screws
or loosen the latches to open the access door panel. Remove
the metal cover of the driver enclosure to expose the driver
components as shown in Figure 16.

Refer to the component location drawings attached to the product specification sheets listed
in Appendix A for precise power/signal termination location for each model. For modular
football scoreboard component locations, refer to the service manual listed in Section 1.3.

Connect the power wires coming through the rear of the scoreboard to the main terminal
block, as shown in Figure 16.

Some modular scoreboard sections do not receive power via terminal block. Instead, an
interconnect harness routes from the nearest scoreboard section. Refer to Section 3.6.

Note: If a power receptacle is needed to operate the control console at the scoreboard for
troubleshooting, Daktronics recommends that an installation electrician provides an
outlet close to the disconnect box specifically for this purpose.
