Nomenclature
Figure 5: Numbering Example - 24x80 Front
To fully understand some Daktronics drawings, such as schematics, it is necessary to
know how various components are labeled in those drawings. This information is
also useful when trying to communicate maintenance or troubleshooting efforts.
A module is the building block of the
Galaxy
®
display. Each module measures 8
pixels high by 16 pixels wide. By placing
modules side-by-side and on top of one
another, a display of any size can be
designed and built. Individual modules can
be easily removed from the display if
required.

In addition, the following labeling formats might be found on various Daktronics
drawings:
•
“TB_ _” represents a termination block for power or signal cable.
•
“F_ _” denotes a fuse.
•
“E_ _” signifies a grounding point.
•
“J_ _” indicates a power or signal jack.
•
“P_ _” identifies a power or signal plug for the opposite jack.
Finally, Daktronics part numbers are commonly found on drawings. Those part
numbers can be used when requesting replacement parts from Daktronics Customer
Service. Take note of the following part number formats:
•
“0P-_ _ _ _-_ _ _ _” shows an individual circuit
board, such as the internal fiberboard.

•
“0A-_ _ _ _-_ _ _ _” indicates an assembly,
such as a circuit board and the plate or bracket
to which it is mounted. A collection of circuit
boards working as a single unit may also carry
an assembly label.
