Open the appropriate access panels on the upper-left (Section A) and bottom-left
cabinet (Section C) to locate the coiled bundles of interconnect cable coming from the
drivers. Refer to Figure 29 . Additional panels may be opened for easier access.
1� Route the 5-pin interconnect cable with the J43 jack from Section C over into
the bottom-right cabinet (Section D) and connect it to the P42 plug on another
interconnect cable coming from the Secondary Driver.
2� There will also be two separate interconnect cables in Section A:
a� Route the 5-pin interconnect cable with the J43 jack over into the upper-right
cabinet (Section B) and connect it to the P42 plug on another interconnect
cable coming from the Secondary Driver.
b� Route the 5-pin (two wire, signal only) cable with the P42 plug down into Section
C, and connect it to the J42A jack on a Y-cable coming from the Primary Driver.
Note: The FB-2028 can be thought of as two scoreboards stacked on top of each other.
Both Primary Drivers require power termination, but only the A3 driver in Section C
requires signal termination from the control location (or a radio receiver installed).
Refer to Power (p�16) and Wired Signal Connection (p�20) or Wireless Signal
Connection (p�21) for radio.

Split Scoreboard Interconnect
Reference Drawings:
Installation Drawing; Split 2 Sec Scoreboard ................................................. DWG-1060613
In some installations, scoreboard sections may be mounted farther apart than the
length of the internal interconnect harness will allow. For example, a two-section football
scoreboard may have a message display in between the top and bottom sections. In
these instances, a Split Scoreboard Interconnect Kit (Daktronics part # 0A-1192-1702) is
required. Refer to DWG-1060613 for more information.
