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, but not to exceed 1000 feet between a console and the scoreboard)
- SL-230 / 330RF Modem (2 sets required on separate channels)
Items not provided by Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company that are necessary for installation:
- Wall fasteners
- Grounded NEMA 5-15R 120 VAC receptacles for the 2 control consoles at the scorekeeper’s table.
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 mounting the scoreboard on the wall and attaching the optional bottom sponsor panel (if purchased) to the scoreboard.
Mounting the Scoreboard The following steps describe how to mount the scoreboard on the wall: 1.There are two hanger brackets attached to the scoreboard near the top of the cabinet on the rear side. They may have been rotated down to facilitate shipping. Rotate the hanger brackets so that they protrude past the top of the scoreboard and tighten the bolts. 2.Lift the scoreboard to the desired location. There are two eyebolts mounted at the top of the cabinet that can be used to lift the scoreboard into place. Be sure to mount the center of the scoreboard close enough to the wall receptacle so that you can plug in the 9 ft. power cord. 3.Insert lag bolts or other suitable fasteners through the hanger brackets and fasten the scoreboard to the wall. Figure 1 shows the mounting point locations for model 2556.
Attaching the Optional Bottom Sponsor Panel Two attachment plates, four bolts, and four washers are provided to attach the sponsor panel to the bottom of the scoreboard. The attachment points are located on the sides of the scoreboard and sponsor panel cabinets. The following steps describe how to attach the sponsor panel to the scoreboard: 1.Raise the sponsor panel to the bottom of the scoreboard. 2.Fasten an attachment plate to the right side of the scoreboard and sponsor panel using the provided washers and bolts as shown in figure 2. 3.Fasten the other attachment plate to the left side of the scoreboard and sponsor panel in the same manner.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
We recommend a qualified electrician perform the needed electrical connections to ensure proper operation of the scoreboard. These connections include connecting the scoreboard to a power source, installing the SL-230 / 330 RF MODEMS or the control cables, and connecting the control consoles. The installation of goal lights and multiple scoreboards at the same site is also described in this section.
Power Connection The scoreboard requires 120 VAC service at the scoreboard to operate properly. Maximum power consumption of Model 2556: 393 Watts. The scoreboard has a 9 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 scoreboard can be turned off without turning off other electrical devices in the facility. Figure 3 shows the electrical connection points on the scoreboard.
SL-230 / 330 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. 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 Two control cables must be installed for this scoreboard. These cables must not be connected together at any point. No cable lengths should exceed 1000 feet. The control cables allow data to be transmitted from the control consoles to the scoreboard. Install one control cable from the SERIAL DATA INPUT ¼” stereo jack on the top of the scoreboard above the GUEST STAT PANEL section (left end of the scoreboard) to within 10 feet of the 2056 control console. Install the second control cable from the SERIAL DATA INPUT ¼” stereo jack on top of the scoreboard above the game clock (middle of the scoreboard) to within 10 feet of the 2550 control console. A small junction box with a ¼” stereo jack mounted on the face plate is attached to each control cable at the point of operation of the scoreboard. These junction boxes should be securely mounted within ten feet of the rear of the control consoles. Most customers order the control cables with the junction boxes attached. Some customers prefer to attach the junction boxes after the cables are installed. Those customers must solder the control cables to the ¼”stereo jacks. Figure 4 shows the control cable wire connection points on the rear of the ¼” stereo jack.
A ¼” stereo plug is attached to the scoreboard end of each control cable. The ¼” stereo plugs are inserted into the appropriate SERIAL DATA INPUT ¼” stereo jacks mounted on top of the scoreboard. Most customers order the control cables with the ¼” stereo plugs attached. Some customers prefer to attach them after the cables are installed. Those customers must solder the ¼” stereo plugs to the cables according to the figure 5. Unscrew the stereo plug cover from the plug body to expose the contact pins.
Control Console Connections Each 10 ft. extension cable has two molded ¼” stereo plugs attached to it. Three cables are provided to connect the control consoles to the junction boxes. The following steps describe how to connect the control consoles: 1.Plug one end of an extension cable into the ¼” stereo jack on the junction box connected to the control cable for the STAT PANEL section of the scoreboard. 2.Plug the other end into one of the ¼” stereo jacks mounted on the 2056 control console back plate. 3.Plug the 2056 control console power cord into a grounded NEMA 5-15R 120 VAC receptacle. 4.Plug one end of another extension cable into the ¼” stereo jack on the junction box connected to the control cable for the middle section of the scoreboard. 5.Plug the other end into one of the four ¼” stereo jacks mounted on the 2550 control console back plate. 6.Plug the 2550 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.
Goal Lights Installation This scoreboard can control a set of goal lights. The following steps describe how to install a goal light: 1.Mount the goal light in the desired location. 2.Splice wires (not provided) to the two wire leads of the goal light. 3.Attach a polarized plug to the other end of the wires. 4.Insert the plug into the goal light receptacle on the right side of the scoreboard cabinet. The goal light receptacle is protected by a 1 amp fuse. Do not insert bulbs greater than 40 watts in the goal lights.
Installation of Two or More Scoreboards at the Same Site The control console that operates the middle section of the scoreboard also can control other Electro-Mech Scoreboard company LED basketball scoreboards. Up to 4 compatible scoreboards using control cables or an unlimited number of compatible scoreboards by installing a SL-230 / 330 transmitter at the control console and a SL-230 / 330 receiver at each scoreboard. Never splice the control cables together or connect them to the same junction box. Each scoreboard will need to be connected to 120 VAC service.

While your scoreboard was designed for years of trouble-free operation, some problems may occasionally occur. Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company offers onsite service in some areas. In other areas, we can help you contact an independent service technician. In areas in which service is not available from Electro- Mech Scoreboard Company, we will make every effort to answer your questions. Our trained personnel at Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company are ready to answer your questions from Monday to Friday during the hours of 8 AM to 5 PM Eastern Standard Time. Be sure to know your scoreboard model number when calling. Scoreboard replacement parts are always available. Damaged parts can usually be repaired at a significant cost savings. Our convenient toll free number is listed at the bottom of every page in this manual.
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
LED Digits And Indicators Replacement The LEDs that form digits and indicators are soldered on circuit boards mounted behind metal masks. Do not attempt to replace individual LEDs. In case of a malfunction, the entire LED circuit board must be removed. To avoid damage to the LED driver module,always turn off the power to the scoreboard when removing or replacing LED digits and indicators. Figure 10 shows the components of a LED digit assembly. LED indicator assemblies are similar in construction.
1.
Remove the machine screws that fasten the mask to the face of the scoreboard. Caution: Support the mask before removing the last screw. The ribbon cable that connects to the rear of the circuit board is not designed to support the weight of the assembly. Lift the assembly out of the scoreboard and disconnect the ribbon cable from the rear of the circuit board. 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. Place the assembly on a flat surface and remove the 6-32 kep lock nuts that hold the circuit board in place.
