2 Mechanical Installation
Mechanical installation consists of lifting and permanently mounting the display(s).
The product specification sheets listed in Appendix A include installation specification
drawings that show the recommended number and spacing of wall anchors for specific
scoreboard models. Be sure that the installation complies with local building codes.
Note: Daktronics assumes no liability for installations derived from the information
provided in this manual or installations designed and installed by others.
Lifting
Most displays and display sections ship equipped with at least one 1/2” shoulder-type
eyebolt located along the top of the cabinet for the purpose of lifting. Smaller game/
shot clocks do not require eyebolts and are not equipped with them.
Note: Daktronics assumes no liability for damages resulting from incorrect setup or lifting
methods. Eyebolts are intended for lifting only. Do not attempt to permanently
support the display by the eyebolts.
Single-Court Scoreboard Mounting
Due to the variety of wall materials used in sports
facilities, Daktronics cannot anticipate a user’s
individual installation needs or provide mounting
hardware suitable for every installation. Choose
a method of installation that will safely support
the weight of the display.
1� Use the eyebolt(s) at the top of the display
cabinet to lift it into position for mounting.
2� Secure the display to the wall by attaching
mounting hardware through all holes on the
top and bottom rear flanges of the cabinet
to a pre-drilled hole in the wall ( Figure 3 ).
For mounting locations, weights and hardware
suggestions, refer to the model-specific
mechanical specification drawings attached to
the product specification sheets listed in Appendix A .
