displays are built for long life and easy maintenance. To ensure the
optimal performance of the display, this manual provides information on installation,
maintenance and troubleshooting. Diagnostic information and parts replacement are included
within these sections. Definitions of terms used in the displays can be found in Appendix A
while descriptions of common connectors are located in Section 8.3.
Drawings may be referenced at the beginning of some
sections. These reference drawings are inserted in Appendix
A at the end of the manual. The drawings will be identified
by the last set of digits and the letter preceding them, located
in the lower-right corner of the drawing. Figure 1 illustrates
Daktronics drawing label. In the example, this drawing would
be referred to as Drawing B-206146.

1.1 Display Details
Galaxy ® model numbers are described as follows:
AF-3200-RRxCCC-34-R-X
AF-3200 = Outdoor louvered Galaxy display
RR = Number of rows high (16 or 24)
CCC = Number of columns long (up to 96 standard)
34 = mm pixel to pixel spacing
R, A, RGB = LED color: R (Red), A (Amber), RGB (“full
color” Red, Green, Blue)
XX = SF - single face or 2V –Primary/Mirror
The displays are offered as SF (single-face) or 2V (two-view) units. With a 2V (two-
view) unit, the first display is called the primary and the second display is referred to
as the mirror. If the second display will be mounted at a distance of more than six
feet from the primary display, then two primary displays will need to be utilized.
A module is the building block of the Galaxy
® display. Each module measures 8
pixels high by 16 pixels wide. Refer to Figure 2. By placing modules next to each
other, a display of any size can be designed and built. Individual modules can be
easily removed from the display, if required.
