SCOREBOARD INSTALLATION

This scoreboard is designed for indoor use only. Installation of the scoreboard consists of mounting the scoreboard cabinet to the wall and making the proper electrical connections.

MOUNTING THE SCOREBOARD

Be sure to mount the scoreboard close enough to the wall receptacle so that you can plug in the 6 foot power cord. There are two eyebolts mounted at the top of the cabinet which can be used to lift the scoreboard into place. Once the scoreboard is in the desired location, it can be fastened to the wall using lag bolts or other suitable hardware. Hanger brackets at the top of the scoreboard provide convenient mounting points. Figure 1 shows the mounting point locations for MODEL 8350.

Figure 2 shows the mounting point locations for MODEL 8350 with sponsor panel.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

This scoreboard was designed to make the electrical connections as easy as possible. These connections include connecting the scoreboard to a power source, installing the control cable, and connecting the control console. Figure 3 shows the electrical connection points on the scoreboard. We recommend a qualified electrician perform the needed electrical connections to ensure proper operation of your scoreboard.

Figure 3 Electrical Connection Points — STEREO JACK, POWER CORD — Figure 3 Electrical Connection Points Labelled: STEREO JACK · POWER CORD

Connecting The Scoreboard To Your Power Source The scoreboard requires 120 VAC 1 amp service. The scoreboard has an 6 foot attached power cord which can be plugged into a NEMA 5-15R receptacle.

ScoreLink 200 The SCORELINK 200 RF MODEM SET is intended to eliminate the control cable between the scoreboard and the control console on Electro-Mech Scoreboard MM and MP series scoreboards. If you have purchased this option, disregard the next section of this manual. Refer to the SCORELINK 200 RF MODEM SET OWNER’S HANDBOOK for installation instructions.

Installing The Control Cable The control cable connects the scoreboard to the control console. A small junction box with a stereo jack mounted on the face plate is attached to the control cable at the point of operation of the scoreboard. A stereo plug is attached to the scoreboard end of the control cable. The junction box should be securely mounted within ten feet of the rear of the control console. Most customers order the control cable with the junction box and stereo plug attached to the control cable. Some customers prefer to attach them after the cable is installed. Those customers must match their stereo jack to one of the stereo jacks in figure 4 in order to make the proper connections. These connections should be soldered.

Connecting The Control Console The control console is connected to the junction box via the extension cable. This extra length of cable allows the scoreboard operator some mobility and the ability to store the control console after the game. The control console requires a 120 VAC 1/2 A power source. The power cord can be plugged into a NEMA 5-15R receptacle.

1. Connect one end of the extension cable to the jack on the junction box.

2. Connect the other end of the extension cable to the jack on the rear of the control console.

3. Plug the control console power cord into a 120 VAC outlet.

Installation of Two or More Scoreboards at the Same Site It is possible to operate up to four scoreboards from the same console. Install a control cable line in the same manner as described previously for each additional scoreboard. Connect the additional control cable lines with extension cables to the control console. Never splice the control cables together or connect them to the same junction box.

SCOREBOARD OPERATION

The 8350 Scoreboard is operated by the control console. No scoreboard functions will operate without connecting the control console. Figure 6 shows the keypad layout on your control console. The various keypad functions are described in the text below the figure.

Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company strongly advises that you unplug the control console, disconnect the extension cable at the control console, and turn the power to the scoreboard off when the scoreboard is not in use. The control console can not turn the scoreboard off. This action will help protect the scoreboard and control console from power surges and lightning strikes.
