MECHANICAL INSTALLATIONThe mechanical installation includes mounting the shot timer on the wall or basketball goal. The shot timer can be mounted by using either the side or the rear cabinet mounting points. Rear Mounting Method This shot timer can be mounted in front of a single pole. The mounting points are located at the top and bottom edges of the rear side of the cabinet. Figure 1 shows the mounting points located on the rear of the shot timer.
Two sets of mounting hardware are provided for mounting the model 2180 to a pole. The mounting hardware will accommodate poles up to 7 inches outer diameter. A single set of mounting hardware consists of a steel angle bracket, two threaded rods, two washers, and two nuts. Figure 2 shows an overhead cross section view and a side cross section view of the shot timer attached to a pole at a mounting point. A steel bar is riveted inside the scoreboard’s aluminum extrusion frame. The bar has two tapped holes. The threaded rods screw into these tapped holes. The washers and nuts are used to clamp the steel angle bracket against the steel post and hold the scoreboard in place.
The following steps describe how to mount the scoreboard on the posts:
Side Mounting Method Two 3/8” bolts and two washers are provided for each unit. The bolts and washers can be used to attach the shot timer to the customer’s mounting hardware. There are two tapped holes are located on each side of the cabinet which accept the bolts. Figure 3 shows the mounting points located on one side of the shot timer. Identically spaced holes are located on the opposite side of the shot timer. Be sure to mount the shot timer close enough to a wall receptacle so that you can plug in the 6 ft. power cord.
