Scoreboard Mounting Using Spacers
Reference Drawing:
Scoreboard Mtg; Scoreboard with Spacers ............................................ Drawing A-182909
Many Daktronics customers add message centers or advertising panels to the top or bottom
of their scoreboards, and in some cases the depth of the add-on component may not match
the depth of the scoreboard. (Scoreboards in this series are typically 6" or 11" deep.)
To create a uniform
appearance for the overall
display, Daktronics
recommends using spacers
behind the scoreboard so
that the front face of the
display lines up evenly
with the front face of the
added component. The
concept is illustrated in
Figure 6 .
Mechanical Installation

Drawing A-182909
provides complete details
for inserting spacers.
During the 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.
Note: Daktronics does not provide these spacers.
