Many Daktronics 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. (Scoreboards in this series are typically
6" or 11" deep.)
Mechanical Installation
3-7
To create a uniform
appearance for the
overall display,
Daktronics
recommends using
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 6.
Drawing A-182909
provides complete
details for inserting
spacers. 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.
