8 Mechanical Installation
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 .
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
without the suspension mounting kit (see
Section ‎ 3.3 ).
Small Daktronics scoreboards are not equipped with
eyebolts, and instead use two lifting straps that encircle
the scoreboard. It is recommended to use a spreader bar
with the straps.
3.2 Scoreboard & Statistics Display Mounting
1. Use the eyebolts at the top of the scoreboard frame
to lift the display into position for mounting.
Note: For statistic displays, verify the correct
HOME or GUEST display by looking at the label on
top of the cabinet to determine whether it should be
mounted to the left or right of the scoreboard.
2. Secure the display to the wall by attaching
mounting hardware through all holes on the top
and bottom rear flanges of the display to a pre-
drilled hole in the wall (
Figure 6 ).
For mounting locations, weights, and hardware
suggestions, refer to the model-specific mechanical
specification drawings listed in
Appendix A .
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 weight of the display.
3.3 Suspension Mounting Kit
One of several mounting options with the ColorSmart scoreboards is a suspension lift eye
installation, which requires a special mounting kit (part # 0A-1237-0016). Contact Daktronics
about any installation that involves permanently suspending the scoreboard.
1. Secure the mounting angle with the
3
/
8
" nut to each side of the scoreboard with the
included screws. Install the eyebolts into the nut on the mounting angle.
2. Attach suspension cables to the eyebolt using a shackle and pin (all of this equipment
is provided by others).
