Daktronics Sportsound 1500HD - Manual (Page 11)

Mechanical Installation 5
Section 3: Mechanical Installation
A qualified technician must install the Sportsound 1500HD sound system cabinet. 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 further than 40 yards (37 m) behind the goal post to provide
coverage for seating from goal to goal.
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 incorrect lifting methods preformed by non-Daktronics employees.

The Sportsound 1500HD sound system installation consists of lifting and mounting the
cabinet onto an existing support structure. Refer to Drawing C-752494 in Appendix A for
further mounting detail.
Lifting the Cabinet
The Sportsound 1500HD sound system may be
shipped with two shipping brackets (Figure 8)
attached to the top of the cabinet.
Each bracket is attached to the cabinet with two ½" lift
eyes (Figure 9). Remove the shipping brackets and
reinstall the

" lift eyes in the holes prior to installing
the cabinet.
Daktronics strongly recommends using a spreader
bar, or lifting bar, to lift the cabinet. Spreader bars
ensure the force on the eyebolts remains straight up,
minimizing lifting stress.
Figure 10 illustrates the preferred lifting method on
the left and an acceptable alternative lifting method on
the right. When lifting the cabinet:
 Use a spreader bar if possible.
 Use every lifting point provided.
