ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

We recommend a qualified electrician perform the needed electrical connections to ensure proper operation of the model 2055 player statistics panel.  These connections include connecting the model 2055 player statistics panel to a power source, installing the SL-230 / 330 RF modem or the control cable, and connecting the control console.

Power Connection

The model 2055 player statistics panel requires 120 VAC service at the wall receptacle to operate properly.  Maximum power consumption: 36 Watts.  The model 2055 player statistics panel has a 6 ft. attached power cord located at the top of the cabinet.  Plug the power cord into a grounded NEMA 5-15R receptacle.  The receptacle should be controlled by a separate circuit breaker so that the model 2055 player statistics panel can be turned off without turning off other electrical devices in the facility, such as lighting.  Figure 2 shows the electrical connection points on the model 2055 player statistics panel.

The SL-230 / 330 RF MODEM SYSTEM is intended to eliminate the control cable between the scoreboard and the control console on indoor Electro-Mech Scoreboard MM and MP series scoreboards as well as all LED scoreboards.  If you have purchased this accessory, disregard the section of this manual titled Control Cable Installation.  Two sets of transmitters and receivers programmed on different channels are required for this scoreboard.  Refer to the installation manual provided for this product.

Control Cable Installation

A control cable must be installed for one of the model 2055 player statistics panels.  A small junction box with a ¼” stereo jack mounted on the face plate is attached to the control cable at the point of operation of the 2055 player statistics panel.  This junction box should be securely mounted within ten feet of the rear of the control console.  Most customers order the control cable with the junction box attached.  Some customers prefer to attach the junction box after the cable is installed.  Those customers must solder the control cable to the ¼” stereo jack.  Figure 3 shows the control cable wire connection points on the rear of the ¼” stereo jack

The ¼” stereo plug is inserted into the serial data input ¼” stereo jack mounted on top of the model 2055 player statistics panel.  Most customers order the control cable with the ¼” stereo plug attached.  Some customers prefer to attach it after the cable is installed.  Those customers must solder the ¼” stereo plug to the cable according to the figure 4.  Unscrew the stereo plug cover from the plug body to expose the contact pins.

A second control cable is used to send data from one model 2055 player statistics panel to the other unit.  Connect ¼” stereo plugs on each end of this cable according to figure 4.  Insert one plug in the serial data output jack of the 2055 player statistics panel that has a control cable connected to it from the control console.  Insert the other plug in the serial data input jack of the other 2055 player statistics panel.

Alternate Control Cable Installation

Instead of installing one cable from the control console junction box to one of the 2055 player statistics panels and another cable from the serial data output jack of that panel to the serial data input jack of the other panel, install the second cable from a second junction box located within 10 feet of the control console to the second 2055 player statistics panel.  This second junction box and a 10 ft. stereo extension cable will have to be purchased separately.

Control Console Connections

The 10 ft. extension cable has two molded ¼” stereo plugs attached to it.  The following steps describe how to connect the control console:

  1. Plug one end of the extension cable into the ¼” stereo jack on the junction box.
    1. Plug the other end into one of the four ¼” stereo jacks mounted on the control console back plate.
    2. Plug the control console power cord into a grounded NEMA 5-15R 120 VAC receptacle.

Control Console Safety Warning

This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin.  This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet.  This is a safety feature.  If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.  Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
