To fully understand some Daktronics drawings, 
such as schematics, it is necessary to know how 
various components are labeled in those 
drawings. This information is also useful when 
trying to communicate maintenance or 
troubleshooting efforts. 

Introduction 

 

1-8

 
A module is the building block of the Galaxy

®

 

display. Each module measures 8 pixels high 
by 8 pixels wide. By placing modules side-by-
side and on top of one another a display of any 
size can be designed and built. Individual modules can be easily removed from the 
display if required. 

Figure 5

 

above

 

illustrates how Daktronics numbers modules on a 

Galaxy

®

 display. 

Figure 6

 

on the right

 

breaks down the module numbering method. 

 

Figure 6: Module Numbering 

 
In addition, the following labeling formats might be found on various Daktronics 
drawings: 
 

• 

“TB_ _” denotes a termination block for power or signal cable. 

• 

“F_ _” denotes a fuse. 

• 

“E_ _” denotes a grounding point. 

• 

“J_ _” denotes a power or signal jack. 

• 

“P_ _” denotes a power or signal plug for the opposite jack. 

 
Finally, Daktronics part numbers are commonly found on drawings. Those part 
numbers can be used when requesting replacement parts from Daktronics Customer 
Service. Take note of the following part number formats: 
  

• 

“0P-_ _ _ _-_ _ _ _” denotes an individual circuit board, such as the internal 
fiberboard. 

• 

“0A-_ _ _ _-_ _ _ _” denotes an assembly, such as a circuit board and the 
plate or bracket to which it is mounted. A collection of circuit boards 
working as a single unit may also carry an assembly label. 

• 

“W-_ _ _ _” denotes a wire or cable. Cables may also carry the assembly 
numbering format in certain circumstances. This is especially true of ribbon 
cables. 

 
Most circuit boards and components within this display carry a label that lists the 
part number of the unit. If a circuit board or assembly is not listed in the replacement 
parts list in 

Section 4

, use the label to order a replacement. 

A typical label is shown in 

Figure 7

. The part number is in 

bold.
