display lines up evenly with the front face of the added component. The concept is
illustrated in
Figure 5 .
Drawing A-182909 provides complete details for inserting spacers. At installation,
spacers are placed between the mounting beams and the back of the scoreboard
cabinet. Spacer size is determined by the height and the extra depth required for the
front surface of the scoreboard to match that of the optional message center or ad
panel. Daktronics does not provide these spacers.

threaded rods (15"), square nuts, hex nuts, and washers.
Mount the ad panel or ad panels in the following manner:
1. Use the mounting channel to determine which hole combination to use. Be
sure to keep the bolts as close to the beam as possible.
2. Using the mounting channel as a template, drill 9/16" holes in the upper and
lower rear flange of the ad panel where the supports will go.
3. Place the 1/2" square nuts inside the channel and thread the long rods
through.
4. Lift the ad panel into position with the threaded rods still in place.
5. Place mounting angles over each pair of rods and secure with lock washers
and hex nuts.
6. When the panel is adjusted to the final desired position, tighten the hex nuts
firmly.
When mounting ad panels with back sheets, remove the back sheets above and below
the upper and lower rear flanges of the ad panel where the holes have been drilled.
Be sure to replace the back sheets after placing the square nuts inside the channel and
threading the rods through the holes.
