Introduction 1
Section 1: Introduction
This manual explains the installation of Daktronics Outdoor LED Scoreboards. For additional
information regarding the safety, installation, operation, or service of these displays, refer to the
Daktronics Customer Service contact information in Section 4. This manual is not specific to a
particular installation.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
 Read and understand all instructions before beginning the installation process.
 Properly ground the cabinet with a grounding electrode at the scoreboard location.
 Disconnect display power when not in use or when servicing.
 Disconnect display power before servicing power supplies to avoid electrical shock.
Power supplies run on high voltage and may cause physical injury if touched
while powered.
 Do not modify the structure or attach any panels or coverings to the scoreboard
without the express written consent of Daktronics.
 Do not disassemble control equipment or electronic controls of the scoreboard;
failure to follow this safeguard will make the warranty null and void.
 Do not drop control equipment or allow it to get wet.
Project-specific information takes precedence over any other general information found in
this manual. Such information may include:
 Shop Drawings: describe mounting methods to structural elements, access method
(front or rear), and power and signal entrance points
 System Risers: describe power and signal connections between display components
and the control location; may also include control room layout and schematic
Ensure all applicable material has been gathered before beginning the installation. Contact a
Daktronics sales coordinator or project manager.
1.1 Specifications Label
Power specifications as well as serial and model number information can be found on an ID
label on the display, similar to the one shown in Figure 1.
Please have the assembly number, model number, and the date manufactured on hand when
calling Daktronics customer service to ensure the request is serviced as quickly as possible.
Knowing the facility name and/or job number will also be helpful. Note that the Product
Number(s) are sometimes used to distinguish different generations of the scoreboards having
the same model number.
