Section 3: Mechanical Installation
Mechanical Installation involves installing concrete footings and steel beams, attaching the
caption sections to the digit sections, and mounting the digit modules to the structure. These
steps are described in the following sections.
3.1 Installing Beams and Footings
Reference Drawings:
Beam & Footing Recommendations, MS-2014-11 ...... Drawing A-165553
Beam & Footing Recommendations, MS-2015-11 ...... Drawing A-165559
Beam & Footing Recommendations, MS-2018-11 ...... Drawing A-165561
Beam & Footing Recommendations, MS-2016-11 ...... Drawing A-175539
Beam & Footing Recommendations, MS-2017-11 ...... Drawing A-214370
Beam & Footing Recommendations, FB-2006-11/21 .. Drawing A-221087
These drawings specify the number of beams and the recommended spacing between
them. The drawings also indicate the size of beams required to support the
scoreboard at different heights under various wind speed conditions. All of the beam
specifications illustrate ‘‘W’’ shape steel beams (wide-flange I-beams). The first
number indicates the front-to-rear depth of the beam, and the second number
indicates the weight in pounds per foot of length.
Column and footing size dimensions provided with the drawings can help in
estimating installation costs.
They are estimates only and are not intended for
construction purposes. Be sure that your installation complies with local building
codes and is suitable for your particular soil and wind conditions.
The columns and footings and all connection details must be designed and certified
by a professional engineer licensed to practice in the state in which scoreboard will
be installed.
Daktronics does not assume any liability for any installation derived
from the information provided in this manual or for those designed and installed
by others.
3.2 Installing Captions Modules
Reference Drawing:
Caption Module Detail .................................................. Drawing A-130840
Attach the caption module to the digit module before attaching the digit module to
the beam support.
The caption modules are attached to the top or bottom of a digit module with No.10
machine screws. Refer to
Drawing A-130840 . With Models MS-2014-11 and MS-
2018-11, attach the caption module to the top of the player/penalty module. With
model FB-2006-11, attach the caption module to the top of the statistics module.
