MECHANICAL INSTALLATIONThe mechanical installation includes installing the posts and mounting the model 3050 and the optional top sponsor panels (if purchased) to the posts. Post Installation The model 3050 delay of game timer mounts on two posts. Typically installers will use steel pipes or I-beams. In order to reduce the glare from the sun on the LED digits, position the posts so that the front of the cabinet 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 3050 delay of game timer. The specifications for the posts and concrete footings are dependent upon the expected local wind and soil conditions, the height of the product from the ground, and the local building codes. Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company assumes no responsibility for the installation of products by others.
Figure 2 shows the spacing of the posts for a model 3050 with an optional side sponsor panel. The sponsor panel is built into the cabinet.
The product is attached to the posts at four points. Figure 3 shows the location of the mounting points on the rear of the cabinet.
