2.2 Mounting Digit Modules
Scoreboard digit modules may be mounted directly to a wall, to universal mounting
struts (channels), or to other support structures. Modular construction permits varied
configurations, and the unique requirements of each facility will determine the setup
and anchoring method best suited for the display.
Daktronics recommends using universal mounting struts (channels). Use
3 /
8
" bolts
through the holes in both ends of the module frame. For displays with multiple digit
modules, mount the lowest module first and work upward.
There are two basic methods to mount the display to a wall: corner mounting and
flush wall mounting. Corner mounting requires an additional bracket, which can be
ordered from Daktronics. Flush wall mounting requires standard bolts and anchors,
found in most hardware stores.
Before installing any wall anchors or the mounting structure, determine where all of
the mounting holes will be located on the display modules. Holes provided on the
modules should be convenient for most installations.
Vertical Wall Mounting, Indoors or Outdoors
Reference Drawing:
Vertical Wall Mounting .................................... Drawing A-130545
Use this method when the overall display requires that the digit modules be mounted
on top of one another.
1. Attach the mounting struts to the wall. Refer to Drawing A-130545 to
determine the strut length and the distance between struts.
2. Attach the caption module to the digit module before attaching the digit
module to the wall. Note: Caption modules do not require extra strut length
when they are mounted at either top or bottom of the column.
3. Use
3 /
8
" bolts to attach the modules to the struts (refer to Drawing A-
130545). Mount the lowest module first, and then add modules working
upward. Note: Strut nuts should be equipped with springs, to hold nuts in
place until ready to install to bolts. (Refer to Figure 3 below)
