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 7 inches outer diameter. Sink the posts in reinforced concrete footings. Figure 1 shows the spacing of the posts for a 1530 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.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

We recommend a qualified electrician perform the needed electrical connections to ensure proper operation of the scoreboard. These connections include grounding the scoreboard, connecting the scoreboard to a power source, installing the ScoreLink 300 or the control cable, and connecting the control console.

Ground Connection The National Electrical Code requires a scoreboard (electric sign) to be grounded. Grounding the scoreboard helps the scoreboard electronics operate properly and helps minimize damage if it is struck by lightning. Metal posts do not provide an adequate ground path. The following steps describe how to ground the scoreboard:

1.Drive one or more 5/8” x 8’ copper clad ground rods in the soil near the scoreboard. 2.Connect #6 bare copper wire to the ground rods using 5/8” brass tear drop connectors. 3.Remove the rear access panel and the dome plugs on the plate below the access panel. Figure 5 shows the location of the access panel and the dome plugs.

5.Pass the ground conductor through the right hand hole in the plate below the access panel and connect it to the ground lug (Ground) on the junction chassis.

Power Connections The scoreboard requires 120 VAC service at the scoreboard to operate properly. Maximum power consumption of Model 1530: 312 Watts. Make sure that power cable is rated for this electrical load. Install the power cable in conduit. Avoid running the power cable in close proximity to the control cable. The following steps describe how to connect the scoreboard to the power source: 1.Feed the power cable through the middle hole in the plate below the access panel. 2.Crimp fork terminals to the power cable wires. 3.Connect the AC line wire and AC neutral wire to the Main Power terminal block on the junction chassis according to figure 7.

Figure 7 Power Connections — AC-L AC-N, Main Power
Figure 7 Power Connections Labelled: AC-L AC-N · Main Power

Install a power disconnect that isolates all current carrying conductors on one of the posts below the scoreboard (not the ground conductor). If a secondary switch is installed near the scorekeeper’s table, it should also isolate these conductors. Place the power disconnect in the OFF position between games to help protect the scoreboard from lightning damage. A power disconnect on the scoreboard post also provides a convenient way of turning the scoreboard off during maintenance or repairs.

ScoreLink 300 The ScoreLink 300 RF MODEM SYSTEM is designed to eliminate the control cable between the scoreboard and the control console on 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. Refer to the ScoreLink 300 RF MODEM SYSTEM OWNER’S HANDBOOK for installation instructions.

Control Cable Installation The control cable connects the scoreboard to the control console. Install the control cable in conduit. If the cable is ever damaged, it is easier and less expensive to replace a cable in conduit. 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 scoreboard. This junction box should be securely mounted in a clean, dry area 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 8 shows the control cable wire connection points on the rear of the ¼” stereo jack.

Figure 8 ¼” Stereo Jack Wiring Diagram — PIN 1 - BLACK WIRE PIN 2 - RED WIRE PIN 3 - SHIELD WIRE
Figure 8 ¼” Stereo Jack Wiring Diagram Labelled: PIN 1 - BLACK WIRE PIN 2 - RED WIRE PIN 3 - SHIELD WIRE

The following steps describe how to connect the control cable to the scoreboard: 1.At the rear of the scoreboard feed the control cable the left hole in the plate below the access panel. 2.Crimp fork terminals to the control cable wires and the shield. 3.Connect the control cable to the Control Cable terminal block on the junction chassis according to figure 9.

Figure 9 Control Cable Wiring Diagram — Black Red Shield, Control Cable
Figure 9 Control Cable Wiring Diagram Labelled: Black Red Shield · Control Cable

4.Reinstall the access panel.

Control Console Connections The 10 ft. extension cable has two molded ¼” stereo plugs attached to it. It is used to connect the control console to the junction box. The following steps describe how to connect the control console: 1.Plug one end of the extension cable into ¼” stereo jack on the junction box or the ScoreLink 300 Transmitter, if purchased. 2.Plug the other end into the ¼” stereo jack mounted on the control console back plate. 3.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.

The ribbon cable that connects to the rear of the circuit board is not designed to support the weight of the assembly. 2.Disconnect the ribbon cable from the rear of the circuit board. For assemblies with two LED digits, it will be necessary to disconnect the ribbon cables from both circuit boards. The cables are labeled to indicate the proper circuit board connection. Caution: Do not let the cable hang outside of the scoreboard. It is easily cut by sharp metal edges. Damage to the ribbon cable may create short circuit paths that will damage the LED driver module. 3.Place the assembly on a flat surface and remove the 6-32 kep lock nuts that hold the defective circuit board in place. 4.Remove the circuit board from the assembly. 5.Align the mounting holes in the replacement LED digit circuit board with the threaded studs on the mask and install it on the mask using the 6-32 kep lock nuts. 6.Plug the ribbon cable onto the header on the back of the circuit board. Refer to figure 13 in order to plug the ribbon cable IDC connector onto the circuit board in the proper orientation.

7.Reinstall the assembly using the sheet metal screws.

Single Segment Driver Boards are used in some scoreboards to control a second function from an output jack of the LED control board. These circuit board assemblies are mounted on standoffs behind LED digits, as needed. In case of a malfunction, the entire circuit board must be removed. To avoid damage to the scoreboard electronics, always turn off the power to the scoreboard when removing or replacing Single Segment Driver Boards. Observe proper handling procedures to prevent static damage to these circuit boards. The table below lists the Single Segment Driver Boards in this scoreboard and their functions.
