  • A weatherproof NEMA 5-15R 120 VAC convenience receptacle at the scoreboard

While Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company does not perform installations, we will make every effort to answer your installation questions. Installation should be performed by qualified personnel. Consult national and local codes before installation.

POSITIONING THE POSTS

The scoreboard is designed to be mounted on four posts. We suggest that the front of the scoreboard should angled away from the afternoon sun, if possible. Typically installers will use steel pipes or I-beams. The mounting hardware will accommodate posts up to 7 inches outer diameter. We recommend that the posts are sunk in reinforced concrete footings. Figure 1 shows the spacing of the posts for a MP-150. It suggests one possible installation for a MP-150 in silty sand soil. No dimensional data in this manual is intended to be specifications except the size of the scoreboard cabinet and the distance between the posts. 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 CONNECTIONS

We recommend a qualified electrician perform the needed electrical connections to ensure proper operation of your scoreboard. These connections include grounding the scoreboard, connecting the scoreboard to a power source, making power and control connections between the two sections, installing the control cable, and connecting the control console. Note: This manual makes references to numbered positions of terminal strips inside the scoreboard. The terminal strip positions are not marked inside the scoreboard. All of the terminal strips in this scoreboard are sequentially numbered starting with position 1 on the left end.

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 when they are placed in concrete. One method of grounding is to connect each section of the scoreboard to one or more grounding rods which are driven into the ground near the scoreboard via a large gauge copper wire. The self tapping sheet metal screws on the back of the scoreboard cabinet provide a convenient connection point.

Top Access Panel Power Connection Remove the knockout panel below the top access panel (figure 5).

Connecting The Scoreboard To Your Power Source The scoreboard may be connected to 240 VAC single phase or 120 VAC service at the scoreboard. Maximum power consumption of Model MP-150: 10980 Watts. Make sure that the power cables are rated for this electrical load. Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company recommends that your power cable is installed in conduit. Avoid running your power cables in close proximity to your control cable. The following steps describe how to connect the scoreboard to your power source:

1. Remove the hex head screws which hold the middle access panel on the rear of the scoreboard in place. 2. Punch out the knockouts for the power and control cables.

3. Feed the power cables through a knockout.

4. If you are going to connect the scoreboard to a 240 VAC supply, connect one AC line wire to position 2, AC neutral wire to position 3, and the other AC line wire to position 4 of terminal strip T5 on the junction chassis according to figure 8.

Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company suggests that you install a power cut-off switch and a NEMA 5-15R receptacle in a weatherproof box on the scoreboard post below the scoreboard. The cut-off switch provides a convenient way of turning the scoreboard off during maintenance or repairs. The NEMA 5-15R receptacle will allow a technician to easily plug in the control console and operate the scoreboard via the test jack S13 behind the middle access panel (a valuable trouble-shooting aid).

ScoreLink 300 The SCORELINK 300 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 300 RF MODEM SET OWNER’S HANDBOOK for installation instructions.

Installing The Control Cable The control cable connects the scoreboard to the control console. While the control cable is direct burial rated, Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company recommends that it is installed in conduit to protect it from being cut. 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. 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 match their stereo jack to one of the stereo jacks in figure 10 in order to make the proper connections. These connections should be soldered.

PLUG IN MODULE REPLACEMENT

Each module has four bottom plugs which mate with sockets in the scoreboard. A screw located at the top of the module holds it against the scoreboard cabinet. Simply remove the screw and pull the module upward to unseat the module. To avoid damage to the plug in module,always turn off the power to the scoreboard when removing or replacing it.

LAMP REPLACEMENT

Replacing lamps may be the only service you ever perform on your Electro-Mech scoreboard. The lamps are accessed by removing the protective mask covering each lamp bank. To avoid damage to the plug in module,always turn off the power to the scoreboard when changing lamps. We recommend using a felt pen or tape to mark lamps that will not light. This scoreboard uses 15 watt medium base lamps (also called 15A15 lamps). Never replace these with higher wattage lamps.
