2  Mechanical Installation

Mechanical installation consists of lifting and permanently mounting the shot clocks, 

control enclosure, and remote horn enclosure. Be sure that the installation complies with 

local building codes. 

Note: 

Daktronics assumes no liability for any installation derived from the information 

provided in this manual or installations designed and installed by others.

Lifting the Display

Small Daktronics displays use two lifting straps that encircle the cabinet. It is 

recommended to use a spreader bar with the straps.

Note: 

Daktronics assumes no liability for damages resulting from incorrect setup or lifting 

methods. 

Shot Clock Mounting

DWG-1060357

BB-2140 and BB-2150 shot clocks are mounted behind and above the top center of 

the backboard with included hardware. Due to game play, these shot clocks will be 

exposed to a lot of movement and vibration. The brackets need to be designed to 

minimize vibration and shot clock movement. 
BB-2141 and BB-2151 shot clocks are mounted on the rear of the backstop, perpendicular 

to the backboard with included hardware. Refer to 

DWG-184787

 and 

DWG-1060357

 for 

the approximate location to mount both shot clocks sizes on the backstop. 

Control Enclosure Mounting

IMPORTANT:

 The control enclosure must be located within 30' (9.1 m) of the shot clock. 

Mount on the base of the backstop with four #10 self-drilling screws. Power and signal 

from the control console will be routed to the enclosure. 

Remote Horn Enclosure Mounting

Use two #10 self-drilling screws to mount the remote horn enclosure in an open location 

so that sound is able to radiate. A 20' (6.1 m) pre-attached cable is included, but this 

cable may be extended to mount the horn enclosure further away from the control 

enclosure if needed. 

Camera Mounting

DWG-249064

If a camera is to be added (BB-2140 and BB-2150 only), camera mounts accepting 2" (51 

mm) pipe are available; only one may be used at a time. A cable tray can be used to 

route camera wiring down either side of the shot clock. Refer to 

DWG-249064

.

Note: 

Total weight of camera and mounting arm cannot exceed 50 lb (23 kg). Design 

mounting brackets to accommodate both the shot clock and the camera.
