2.3 Display Ventilation Requirements
Reference Drawing:
Shop Drawing ...........................................................
Refer to Appendix C
Fans are mounted inside the back of the display for cooling. Fresh air inlets and
exhaust vents should not be obstructed in any way (refer to
shop drawings
located in
Appendix C
). Using the Daktronics suggested mounting methods will ensure proper
ventilation. Fans turn ON when the interior display temperature reaches 140º F.
Consult a Daktronics sales representative for clearance requirements regarding your
particular display if you are using a different mounting method. If ventilation
requirements are not met, the display warranty will be void.
2.4 Mounting
Kit
A mounting kit is available when ordering a display. The mounting kit includes the
hardware to either mount the display on a pole or on a wall. When using a Daktronics
mounting kit, refer to the instructions in
2.5 Display
Lifting
Reference Drawing:
Shop Drawing ...........................................................
Refer to Appendix C
Eyebolts are provided on the top of each display for lifting purposes. Refer to
ED-7244
at the end of this section for the proper lifting procedure. A spreader bar
should be used to maintain a vertical force on each eyebolt. Using cables or chains to
attach the eyebolts directly to the central lifting point can apply dangerous lateral
force to the eyebolts.
Do not use the eyebolts for permanent installation
. Refer to
shop drawings
for the dimensions of the eyebolts from each end of the display.
Once the display is permanently mounted, replace the eyebolts with the hex-head
bolts (supplied by Daktronics) and sealing washers used with the eyebolts. Use water
proofing compound, such as silicon, along with bolts and sealing washers, to ensure a
waterproof seal.
