Mechanical Installation 7
Section 3: Mechanical Installation
Mechanical installation consists of lifting and permanently mounting the scoreboard or scoreboard
sections. Be sure that the installation complies with local building codes.
Note: Daktronics does not assume any liability for any installation derived from the information
provided in this manual or installations designed and installed by others.
3.1 Lifting the Scoreboard
Daktronics Tuff Sport tennis scoreboards are shipped equipped with eyebolts for lifting the
displays, as well as pre-drilled holes along the top and bottom of each cabinet for wall
attachment. Eyebolts are located along the top of the cabinet for each scoreboard or
scoreboard section. Daktronics indoor scoreboards use 3/8" eyebolts.
Daktronics strongly recommends using a spreader bar, or lifting bar, to lift the display.
Spreader bars ensure the force on the eyebolts remains straight up, minimizing lifting stress.
Figure 4 illustrates the preferred scoreboard lifting method on the left and an acceptable
alternative lifting method on the right. When lifting the display:
Use a spreader bar if possible.
Use every lifting point provided.
Cables and chains attached to the eyebolts and directly to a
center lifting point, as shown in the right-hand example in
Figure 4, can create a dangerous lateral force on the
eyebolts and may cause the eyebolts to fail. The smaller the
angle between the cable and the top of the display, the
lighter the sign must be to safely lift it. If this method must
be used, ensure a minimum angle between the chain and
scoreboard of at least 45°.
Do NOT attempt to lift the display if the angle is less than
45°. Exceeding load angles or weight limits could cause the
bolts in the scoreboard cabinet to buckle, resulting in
serious damage to the scoreboard or injury to personnel.
Also, loads should be applied directly in the plane of the
eyebolt as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 4: Lifting Methods
Figure 5: Eyebolt Plane Load

8 Mechanical Installation
Note: Daktronics assumes no liability for damages resulting from incorrect setup or
lifting methods. Eyebolts are intended for lifting only. Do not attempt to permanently
support the display by the eyebolts.
3.2 Scoreboard Mounting
Due to the variety of wall materials used in sports facilities, Daktronics cannot anticipate a
user‟s individual installation needs or provide mounting hardware suitable for every
installation. Choose a method of installation that will safely support the scoreboard weight.
1. Use eyebolts to lift a scoreboard from the bottom
row into position on the wall.
2. Ensure the scoreboard is level, and secure it to the
wall by attaching 1/2" mounting hardware
through all obround holes on the bottom rear
flange of the cabinet (Figure 6).
3. Two mounting brackets must be used inside the
top scoreboard channel as shown in Figure 7.
a. Line up the outer hole on the bracket with the
mounting hole in the top rear flange.
b. Using the bracket as a template, drill another
hole through the top rear flange.
c. Secure the top rear flange and bracket to the
wall with 1/2" hardware through the existing
and drilled holes.
d. Repeat steps a-c for the other mounting
bracket.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for all other scoreboards in the
bottom row.
Note: Before attaching additional rows of
scoreboards, it will be easier to make power and
signal connections between each scoreboard in
the bottom row. Refer to Section 4 for more
information on power/signal installation.
5. Remove the eyebolts from the bottom row of
scoreboards, and use them to lift the next row in
place. The bottom rear flanges of upper rows will
not be mounted to the wall; instead, they rest
inside the mounting brackets of the scoreboards
in the row below. Refer to Figure 8.
6. Secure the upper-most row of scoreboards to the
wall by attaching 1/2" mounting hardware
through all obround holes on the top rear flange
of the cabinet (similar to the bottom flange
attachment shown in Figure 6).

Mechanical Installation 9
3.3 Ad Panel Mounting
Refer to Drawing A-147668 for typical ad panel mounting or Drawing A-156134 for
instructions on mounting ad panels to the top or bottom of a scoreboard.
3.4 Scoreboard Protective Devices
Daktronics Tuff Sport displays have been designed so that a normal tennis ball impact will
not damage the LEDs or display cabinet, reducing the need for protective devices. Some
users, however, may still wish to have additional protection from other projectiles, and in
these cases, Daktronics provides optional protective devices. Refer to the Protective Screen
Installation Instructions (ED-5423), available online at www.daktronics.com/manuals for
more information about installing protective devices.
Note: 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.

Electrical Installation 11
Section 4: Electrical Installation
CAUTION: Only qualified individuals should access the electrical components of the display and its
associated equipment. It is the responsibility of the electrical contractor to ensure that all electrical
work meets or exceeds local and national codes.
Daktronics engineering staff must approve all changes or the warranty will be void.
4.1 Power
Each court scoreboard section includes two 120 VAC power cords: one for Power In and one
for Power Out. Install grounded receptacles for each row of scoreboards so that the power
cord of the left-most scoreboard section (when viewed from the front) can easily reach it.
Connect the Power In cords to the Power Out cords between sections moving from right to
left. Be sure to plug the whole row of scoreboards into the power receptacle last. Note that the
top sections (team score) will only have one power cord.
The control console requires a 120 VAC receptacle and uses less than 1 A of power.
Displays operating on 230 VAC are also available, and they are shipped equipped with
universal power plugs.
Grounding
Connect the scoreboard to earth ground. Proper grounding assures reliable equipment
operation and protects the equipment against damaging electrical disturbances and lightning.
Daktronics recommends a resistance-to-ground of 10 ohms or less. The electrical contractor
performing the electrical installation can verify ground resistance. Daktronics Sales and
Service personnel can also provide this service. The grounding connection on the power
cord‟s three-prong plug connects to the shell of the scoreboard.
Note: The customer must properly ground the outlet according to local and national
codes. Failure to ground the outlet voids the warranty for the scoreboard.
4.2 Power-On Self-Test (POST)
The scoreboard performs a self-test each time that power is turned on and the control console
is powered off or not attached to the scoreboard. If the control console is attached and
powered on, the self-test does not run, and data from the control console is displayed on the
scoreboard after a brief period of time. Each scoreboard self-test pattern will vary depending
on the scoreboard model, the number of drivers and types of digits. Figure 9 shows an
example of the LED bar test pattern that each digit performs.
Figure 9: Digit Segment POST

12 Electrical Installation
Radio Settings
If an All Sport radio receiver is installed, the radio
broadcast settings (“b1”) and the channel settings
(“C1”) will be displayed in the game/set score
digits (Figure 10) during the POST. These values
must match the settings in the control console
(refer to the appropriate control console manual
listed in Section 1.1).
Note: Scoreboards using the RC-100 controller will only display the channel settings.
4.3 Signal Connection Between Scoreboards
Connect a 1/4" phone plug cable between the J32 SIGNAL OUT jack on the first scoreboard
section to the J31 SIGNAL IN jack on next scoreboard section. Repeat this process until all
scoreboard sections are connected. Refer to Drawing B-233254 in Appendix A.
For the Team Score sections, route the digit cables
from the GUEST section (and clock, if installed)
though the holes in the sides of the cabinets into the
HOME score section, and connect them to the
appropriate jacks on the driver. The GUEST section
TNMC (if installed) uses power/signal interconnect cables.
4.4 Signal Connection with TNMCs
For multi-court scoreboards using team name message centers (TNMCs), signal installation
also requires a wireless base station to receive the signal from the handheld RC-100
controllers, a computer running DakTennis™software, and a signal converter to send the
wired signal to the display. Refer to Drawing B-231298 in Appendix A.
1. Plug in the wireless base station (part # 0A-1110-0037) within 12' (3.6 m) of the
DakTennis computer. Ensure the wireless base station is set to Function “5”.
2. Connect the 9-pin serial cable (part # W-1267) between the RS232 jack of the wireless
base station and an available COM port on the DakTennis computer.
Note: If the DakTennis computer only has only one or no COM port, it will be
necessary to use USB-to-Serial converters (not provided by Daktronics).
3. Connect the other 9-pin serial cable between the DakTennis computer and the J1 jack
of a signal converter (part # 0A-1065-0173).
4. At a minimum, use a paired, 22 AWG shielded cable (part # W-1077) and connect the
cable from the TB1 jack of the signal converter to a 1/4" J-box.
5. Route the cable from the J-box on the control end to a J-box near the display.
6. Install the 1/4" phone plug (part # 0L-40683) to the display end of the cable.
Be sure to connect the cable shielding only in the J-box on this end.
Note: DO NOT connect cable shielding at the J-box near the control console.
7. Route the 1/4" phone plug from the J-box near the display to the scoreboard.
8. Insert the plug into the J31 SIGNAL IN jack on the first scoreboard section, and
connect signal cables between each section as described above.

2. Connect the 9-pin serial cable (part # W-1267) between the RS232 jack of the wireless
base station and an available COM port on the DakTennis computer.
Note: If the DakTennis computer only has only one or no COM port, it will be
necessary to use USB-to-Serial converters (not provided by Daktronics).
3. Connect the 9-pin to 25-pin serial cable (part # 0A-1374-0106) between the DakTennis
computer and the J6 I/O PORT jack of a radio-equipped All Sport 5000 console.
4. Ensure the All Sport console and the primary scoreboard as well as any auxiliary
single-court scoreboards are set to the same radio Broadcast and Channel numbers.
The console must also be set to Code 5900.
4.5 All Sport CG Setup
An All Sport CG allows live game information to be overlaid onto a video signal. This setup
requires an All Sport CG unit and video camera for each court, a signal distribution amplifier,
and associated wiring. Refer to Drawing B-231298 (wired) or Drawing B-1077063 (radio) for
more information about typical setups.
