Additional Materials and Tools
The illustrations on the previous pages show where power is needed and how data
cables can be routed. Data cable is not included as a standard part of the scoreboard
package, although Electro-Mech typically is the source for it. Alternatively, Electro-
Mech can provide a ScoreLink wireless communication system to replace the data
cable. Other materials shown (or implied) in the illustration that are not included in the
standard scoreboard package:
•
Power receptacles (at the scoreboard display and at the point of operation)
•
A disconnect switch (to turn the scoreboard display on and off)
•
Cable and conduit to supply power to the receptacles
•
Conduit for the data cable (if data cable is used)
•
Wire splicing kits for use with 22 AWG wire (if data cable is used)
This document assumes the installer has access to tools and skills for...
•
Working with conduit and fittings
•
Routing cables
•
Crimping terminals, splicing, soldering, and other basic wire management
•
Minor carpentry work
•
Common tools such as Phillips and flat head screwdrivers, a knife, etc.
Electro-Mech recommends you find a reputable sign installer or electrician with the tools
and experience to handle the type of work mentioned above. If you are unfamiliar with
sign installers in your area, contact your scoreboard sales rep for recommendations.
Power Receptacles and Disconnect Switch
Each scoreboard cabinet is designed to be plugged into a US standard (NEMA 5-15R)
120 VAC receptacle. Because center-hung scoreboards are typically installed on hoist
systems, the installer usually runs power extension cables from the scoreboards to the
receptacles. The extensions must provide sufficient slack to allow the scoreboard
assembly to be lowered for maintenance. We recommend providing a disconnect
switch to kill power to the receptacles when the scoreboard is not in use. The control
console also requires a power receptacle. This receptacle does not need to be
attached to a disconnect switch, since the consoles can easily be unplugged and are
typically stored between games. A control console used with an external ScoreLink
transmitter will need an extra receptacle for the transmitter's power supply.
Model LX2350-4 draws a maximum of 7.6 amps (1.9 amps per scoreboard face) when
the package includes Electronic Team Names. Without ETNs, the maximum current is
4.8 amps (1.2 amps per scoreboard face).
