SCOREBOARD INSTALLATION
This part of the manual describes the mechanical and electrical installation of the
scoreboard.
One of the items listed below must be purchased in order to complete the installation:
• Control cable (length dependent upon installation site layout)
• SL-230 / 330 RF Modem System
Items not provided by Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company that are necessary for
installation:
• Two posts
• Power cable to connect the scoreboard to the power source
• Grounding hardware
• A grounded NEMA 5-15R 120 VAC receptacle for the control console at the
scorekeeper’s table.
Items not provided that are recommended by Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company for
installation:
• A weatherproof power disconnect at the scoreboard
Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company performs installations in some areas. In other areas,
we can help you contact an independent installer. In areas in which installation service is
not available from Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company, we will make every effort to
answer your installation questions. Qualified personnel should perform the scoreboard
installation. Consult national and local codes before installation.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The mechanical installation includes installing the posts and mounting the scoreboard and
the optional top sponsor panels (if purchased) to the posts.
Post Installation
The scoreboard mounts on two posts. Typically installers will use steel pipes or I-beams.
In order to reduce the glare from the sun on the front of the scoreboard, position the posts
so that the front of the scoreboard is angled away from the afternoon sun, if possible. The
mounting hardware will accommodate posts up to 4.5 inches outer diameter. Sink the
posts in reinforced concrete footings. Figure 1 shows the spacing of the posts for a 1360
scoreboard. The specifications for the posts and concrete footings are dependent upon the
expected local wind and soil conditions, the height of the scoreboard from the ground,
and the local building codes. Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company assumes no
responsibility for the installation of scoreboards by others.
