Section 2: Mechanical Installation
Note: Daktronics does not guarantee the warranty in situations where the display is not
constantly in a stable environment.
The Daktronics engineering staff must approve any changes that may affect the weather-
tightness of the display. If any modifications are made, detailed drawings of the changes must
be submitted to Daktronics for evaluation and approval, or the warranty may be void.
Daktronics is not responsible for installations or the structural integrity of support
structures done by others. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that a qualified
structural engineer approves the structure and any additional hardware.
2.1 Mechanical Installation Overview
Because every installation site is unique, there is no single Daktronics-approved
procedure for mounting the Galaxy
® displays. The information contained in this
section is general information only and may or may not be appropriate for your
particular installation.
A qualified individual must make all decisions regarding the mounting of this
display.
Read both the mechanical and electrical installation sections of this manual
before beginning any installation procedures.
2.2 Accessing the Display
The Daktronics Galaxy
133mm/171mm AF-3400 large

meaning, access to the internal
components can only be gained from

doors are approximately
20 ½”X41 ½” for the 133mm and
26 ½”X53 ½” for the 171mm and are
7 pixels high by 4 pixels wide. Follow
these steps to open a module door and
access the internal components.
