3 Display Installation
This section provides general guidelines for DB-6000 display installation. Work closely with
the Project Manager on all installations. Do not modify the display or control system in
any manner without the written permission of the Project Manager. Any unauthorized
modifications may void the display warranty.
Display Installation
1� Using a utility knife, carefully cut away all of the white packaging material from the
display. Pay special attention when cutting around the Multi-Direction Light Sensor
(MDLS) to avoid cutting cables. If possible, do not cut anywhere along the display
face as it can damage the LEDs and modules.
2� Remove the wood and the wood braces from the top of every display section.
3� Open the display and verify all installation tools and installation hardware were sent
with the display. Contact the Project Manager immediately if missing parts.
4� Locate the spare parts rack in the left end bays (when viewed from the back) and
verify all installation tools and
installation hardware were sent
with the display. Contact the
Project Manager immediately if
missing installation parts.
5� Verify that the lift-eyes are
installed and the lift-eye bolts
and set bolts are in place. Refer
to Figure 3 . Lift eye spacing is
set at Daktronics and should
not be moved without the
Project Manager’s permission.
6� Attach lift lines from the crane
to the lift eyes.
Note: Ensure the angle between the top of the display and the lifting strap is greater
than 55°. Refer to Figure 3 . The table shows Daktronics recommended strap
lengths for common display sizes.
