A qualified technician must install the Sportsound 500HD cabinet and control enclosure.
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that a qualified structural engineer approves
the mounting structure and any additional hardware needed to secure the cabinet.
The cabinet must be installed no farther than 50' (15.2 m) behind the goal post and 40'
(12.2 m) above grade for optimal audio coverage.
Note:
Daktronics assumes no responsibility for the structure’s integrity. The engineer
responsible for the attached-to base structure shall evaluate the adequacy
of their structure to support the gravity loads imparted by the cabinet at each
attachment point in combination with other associated loading conditions.
Daktronics assumes no responsibility for system damage or injury resulting from
installation methods that deviate from attachment details specified on shop
drawings. Daktronics also assumes no liability for system damage or injury resulting
from incorrect setup or lifting methods performed by non-Daktronics employees.

bar, to lift the cabinet. Spreader bars ensure
the force on the eyebolts remains straight up,
minimizing lifting stress.
