MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The mechanical installation includes installing the posts and mounting the scoreboard and the optional 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 the 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.
Figure 2 shows the spacing of the posts for a scoreboard with an optional top sponsor panel. This panel is a separate unit that mounts on the same posts as the scoreboard.
Three posts are needed for a scoreboard with side sponsor panel. Figure 3 shows the spacing of the posts for a scoreboard with side sponsor panel. The side sponsor panel is a separate assembly that bolts to the side of the scoreboard.
Mounting The Scoreboard The scoreboard is attached to the posts at eight points. Figure 4 shows the location of the mounting points on the rear of the scoreboard.
