Getting Started

Daktronics recommends that a separate circuit be run to the electronic display(s) to 

isolate it and prevent any issues that could be caused by line voltage fluctuations or 

high frequency noise on the power line caused by other types of equipment. A separate 

circuit also makes display maintenance and troubleshooting easier. Daktronics assumes 

no liability for any issues caused by line voltage fluctuations or other improper power 

conditions if these recommendations are not followed.

Only qualified individuals should terminate power and signal cable within this Daktronics 

display.
The 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.

Conduit

Daktronics does not include conduit. Possible power and signal entrances are 

designated on the shop drawing. Separate conduit must be used to route the following:
• Power
• Signal
To prepare for power and signal entrance:

1. 

Remove the bottom three modules, using a 

1

/

8

 " hex head wrench. Refer to 

Accessing the Internal Components (p.9)

 for module removal steps.

2. 

Clear the area for drilling. Choose area free of wired components.

3. 

Make a separate pilot hole in the back or side of the enclosure for power and signal. 

Ensure none of the internal components are damaged. Attach the conduit and route 

power and signal cables. Use watertight connections where the conduit enters the 

display cabinet.

Grounding

All components of a display system—including but not limited to displays, control 

equipment, and connected peripheral equipment—must be electrically grounded. 

Only qualified individuals may perform electrical work, including verification of ground 

resistance. Daktronics is not responsible for improper grounding or damage incurred as a 

result of improper grounding.
Grounding methods must meet the provisions of all applicable local and national codes. 

Inspect and verify all grounding methods meet the provisions of all applicable local and 

national codes.
Proper grounding is necessary for reliable equipment operation and general electrical 

safety. Failure to properly ground the display system may void the warranty, disrupt 

operation, damage equipment, and cause bodily harm or death.

Note: 

Before drilling, be aware of the location of internal components.
