Section 1: Introduction
This manual explains the installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of Daktronics portable LED
basketball scoreboards. For additional information regarding the safety, installation, operation, or
service of this system, refer to the telephone numbers listed in Section 4.5. This manual is not specific
to a particular installation.
Important Safeguards:
Please read and understand all instructions before beginning the installation process.
Do not drop control equipment or allow it to get wet.
Do not disassemble control equipment or electronic controls of the display; failure to
follow this safeguard will make the warranty null and void.
Disconnect display power when not in use or when servicing.
Disconnect display power before servicing power supplies to avoid electrical shock.
Power supplies run on high voltage and may cause physical injury if touched while
powered.
Do not modify the scoreboard structure or attach any panels or coverings to the
scoreboard without the express written consent of Daktronics, Inc.
Project-specific information takes precedence over any other general information found in
this manual.

3.1 Mechanical Installation
While the scoreboards in this manual are portable, they may also be permanently mounted to
a wall using the brackets provided by Daktronics. Drawing A-164217 includes details for
wall mounting.
The scoreboards in this manual are equipped with a handle on the top for easy transport.
Note: The handles are designed for carrying only and are not to be used as a temporary
hanger or for permanent mounting.
3.2 Power & Signal
Route all power and signal connection cables to and from the back of the display through the
channel on the back of the display, as illustrated in Drawing A-164217.
Power for the display is provided via a standard 120 V AC circuit. Signal is provided via 2-
pair, shielded cable, 22 AWG.
The display will not power on unless connected to an All Sport controller. Drawing A-164222
depicts the signal connection jacks located on the rear of the display.
The display is equipped with a ¼" phono jack to connect to the All Sport 5000 (BB-114) and
All Sport 5500 (BB-314) control consoles (Figure 4).
1. Plug the phono cable into the J31 jack on the rear of the display.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the J1, J2, or J3 jack of the console.
Figure 4: All Sport 5000/5500 Setup

8 Mechanical & Electrical Installation
The display is also equipped with a 4-pin XLR jack to connect the All Sport 100 hand-held
controller to the BB-114 scoreboard only (Figure 5).
1. Plug the 4-pin end of the control cable into the XLR J32 jack at the rear of the BB-114.
2. Plug the other end of the control cable into the 9-pin jack on the top of the controller.
The XLR cable transmits both signal output to the scoreboard and power input to the control
console. Extension XLR cables are available from Daktronics.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting 9
Section 4: Maintenance & Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Disconnect power before doing any repair or maintenance work on the display.
2. Permit only qualified service personnel to access internal display electronics.
3. Disconnect power when not using the display.
4.1 Component Location & Access
Reference Drawings:
Schematic; MDP Portable Scoreboard ..................................................Drawing A-162968
Electrical & Signal Spec, BB-114/314-13...............................................Drawing A-164222
Drawing A-164222 shows front and back views of the display, the location of vital
components, as well as the location of the hardware used to attach those components.
To gain access to the internal components of the display, simply remove the screws securing
the front panels. Drawing A-162968 illustrates the schematic diagram of the power and signal
input wiring.
4.2 Replacing Digits
The display features four individual digit circuit boards which are mounted to the back of the
two front panels.
Note: In the case of a malfunctioning board, replace the entire digit circuit board. Do
not attempt to remove individual LEDs.
To remove a scoreboard digit circuit board:
1. Remove the screws of the front panel that contains the malfunctioning digit.
2. Disconnect the power/signal connector from the back of the digit board. Release the
connector by squeezing together the locking tabs while pulling the connector free.
3. Remove the nuts and lift the digit circuit board off the standoff screws.
4. Position a new digit circuit board over the standoff screws and tighten the nuts.
5. Reconnect the power/signal connector.
Note: This is a keyed connector and it will attach in one way only. Do not attempt to
force the connection.
6. Replace the front panel and fasten on the screws.

4.5 Daktronics Exchange and Repair & Return Programs
Exchange Program
The Daktronics Exchange Program is a quick, economical service for replacing key
components in need of repair. If a component fails, Daktronics sends a replacement part to
the customer who, in turn, returns the failed component to Daktronics. This not only saves
money but also decreases equipment downtime. Customers who follow the program
guidelines explained below will receive this service.

2. When the new exchange part is received, mail the old part to Daktronics.
3. If the replacement part fixes the problem, send in the problem part which is being
replaced.
a. Package the old part in the same shipping materials in which the replacement
part arrived.
b. Fill out and attach the enclosed UPS shipping document.
c. Ship the part to Daktronics.
4. A charge will be made for the replacement part immediately, unless a qualifying
service agreement is in place. In most circumstances, the replacement part will be
invoiced at the time it is shipped.
If the failed part or replacement part is not returned to Daktronics within 3 weeks of

replacement part and will send an invoice for the value of the new sale part. If the
part or parts are returned within 2 weeks of the second invoice date, Daktronics will
credit the customer for the second invoice.

12 Maintenance & Troubleshooting
If after 2 weeks Daktronics has still not received the parts back, the customer must
pay the second invoice and will not be credited for the return of the failed part.
Daktronics reserves the right to refuse parts that have been damaged due to acts of
nature or causes other than normal wear and tear.
