Daktronics BA-1518 Multi-Section Outdoor LED Scoreboard - Manual (Page 20)

14 Mechanical Installation
Scoreboard Mounting Using Vertical Spacers
Many customers add message centers or advertising panels to the top or bottom of their
scoreboards, and in some cases the depth of the add-on component may not match the depth
of the scoreboard. This will typically be scoreboards that are 8" deep.
To create a uniform appearance for the overall display, Daktronics recommends using
vertical spacers behind the scoreboard so that the front face of the display lines up evenly
with the front face of the added component. The concept is illustrated in Figure 8 and
Drawing A-182909 in Appendix A.
During the installation, spacers are placed between the mounting beams and the back of the
scoreboard cabinet. Spacer size is determined by the height and the extra depth required for
the front surface of the scoreboard to match that of the optional message center or ad panel.
Note: Daktronics does not provide these spacers.
3.4 Scoreboard Protective Devices
Daktronics makes optional protective devices, including screens and netting, to help prevent
damage to the scoreboard due to normal ball impacts.
Note: Some users install devices to protect the scoreboard from projectiles. 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.
