2  Mechanical Installation

Daktronics engineering staff must approve any changes made to the display. Before 

altering the display, submit detailed drawings for the proposed modifications to the 

Daktronics engineering staff for evaluation and approval, or the warranty will be void.
Daktronics is not responsible for the integrity of the mounting structure or any mounting 

hardware not provided by Daktronics. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure a 

qualified structural engineer has approved the structure and any additional hardware.

Daktronics AF-6200/AF-6300 displays meet the NEMA

®

 4X standard—any customer 

installed mounting hardware, power/signal entrances, and/or penetrations of any sort 

must maintain the NEMA

®

 4X standard.

Support Structure Design

Support structure design depends on the mounting methods, display size, and weight. 

The structure design is critical and should be done only by a qualified individual. It is 

the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the structure and mounting hardware are 

adequate. 
Daktronics is not responsible for the installations or the structural integrity of support 

structures done by others.

Display Mounting

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the installation will meet local standards and 

to determine the proper mounting method and location. The mounting hardware must 

be capable of supporting all components to be mounted. The mounting hardware and 

method are the responsibility of the customer. The number of attachment points needed 

and the structure must be reviewed by a qualified structural engineer and meet all 

national and local codes. 

Note: 

The display has a hinged face panel. Take care to ensure the door opens 

properly. 

Rear Mounting (Single Face Only)

After determining the type of mounting members, attach the mounting members to the 

back of the display. Place sealing washers or waterproof sealant between the display 

and the mounting member to prevent water leaking into the display. Use all four, six, or 

eight attachment points, depending on the size of the display. 

Top/Bottom Mounting (Single Face or Double Face)

After determining the proper mounting method, top or bottom, and the type of 

mounting members, attach the mounting members to the display. Place sealing washers 

or waterproof sealant between the display and the mounting member to prevent water 

leaking into the display. Use all eight attachment points on the display. 

Side Mounting (Single Face or Double Face)

After determining the type of mounting members, attach the mounting members to 

both sides of the display. Place sealing washers or waterproof sealant between the 

display and the mounting member to prevent water leaking into the display. Use all eight 

attachment points (four per side) on the display.
