SCOREBOARD INSTALLATION

Installation of the MP-920 LED Scoreboard consists of mounting the scoreboard cabinet and making the proper electrical connections.

These scoreboards can be mounted on the wall or the basketball goal. For wall mounting, two hanger brackets are attached to the cabinet. Since the construction of goals varies, it is not possible to provide the customer with hardware which will be suitable for each installation. There are two tapped holes are located on each side of the cabinet which accept threaded rods. Application specific hardware can use the threaded rods to attach the scoreboard to the goal (Not provided by Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company).

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.

MOUNTING THE SCOREBOARD

The scoreboard can be attached to a wall using lab bolts or other suitable hardware. The customer must provide the necessary hardware to attach the scoreboard to a goal.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

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

Connecting The Scoreboard To Your Power Source The scoreboard requires 120 VAC 5 amp service. The scoreboard has a 9 foot attached power cord which can be plugged into a NEMA 5-15R receptacle.

Installing The Control Cable The model MP-920 LED shot clock scoreboard is compatible with Electro-Mech Scoreboard Company models MP-259, MP-269, MP-259/220, MP-269/220, MP-259/220-4S, MP-269/220- 4S, 2350, 2650, 2655, 2350-4, 2650-4, and 2655-4. If the customer has one of these model scoreboards, the MP-920 LED shot clock scoreboard can be operated with the same control console. If the customer does not have one of these models, the MP-920 LED shot clock scoreboard must be operated with its own control console.

If the customer has one of the models listed above, he can install the control cable from the stereo jack mounted on the top of the scoreboard to either the shot timer output jack located on the side of one of the scoreboards (serial data output jack located on the top of models 2350-4, 2650-4, and 2655-4) listed above or to the control console.

When connecting between the shot timer output jack of the of the listed scoreboards to the MP- 920 LED scoreboard, each end of the control cable has a male stereo plug attached. When connecting between the control console and the MP-920 LED shot clock scoreboard, the cable end which attaches to the scoreboard has a male stereo plug attached and the other end has a small metal junction box with a stereo jack mounted on the face plate. The junction box is mounted within 10 feet of the control console point of operation. A 10 foot cable with stereo plugs attached to each end (called the extension cable) is provided to make the connection from the junction box the control console.

Most customers order the control cable with the proper connectors attached to each end when ordering the scoreboard. Some customers prefer to attach the connectors after the cable is installed. The instructions below describe how to attach these connectors. All connections should be soldered. Splicing the cable is not recommended.

Refer to Figure 1 to attach the stereo plug. Refer to Figure 2 to attach the stereo jack mounted on the face plate of the junction box. This drawing shows the rear view of two stereo jacks. Match the stereo jack mounted on the face plate to one of the stereo jacks in figure 2 to make the proper connections.

Connecting The Control Console The control console is normally connected to the junction box via the 10 ft. 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 extension cable has two molded stereo plugs attached to it. One end of the extension cable is plugged into the junction box stereo jack and the other end is plugged into the stereo jack mounted on the control console back plate. The control console power cord is plugged into a grounded NEMA 5-15R 120 VAC receptacle.

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
