MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
This section of the manual describes options for installing locker room clock cabinets. If
your scoreboard project includes customizations or requires other special mounting
considerations, please contact Electro-Mech to request details specific to your project.
If you have unique requirements and would like to change the position or size of our
mounting hardware to accommodate them, we can probably help you out. But we need
to find out BEFORE we start building the cabinet. Let your scoreboard sales rep know
about any special needs as early in the process as possible.
Additional Materials and Tools
Most locker room clock displays are installed on locker room walls. Each locker room
clock cabinet includes a set of keyhole mounting points in the back to facilitate this type
of installation with the back of the display flat against a wall. Other techniques may
more appropriate for hanging the display on other structures. However, for the sake of
clarity and brevity, we will assume a wall. We will further assume that the wall is
capable of supporting the weight of the scoreboard cabinet and any accessories to be
mounted with it.
The wall could be made of cinder blocks, framed with wood and covered in drywall, or
constructed any number of other ways. Because different fasteners are appropriate for
different walls, we cannot specify a particular type of fastener. As previously indicated,
this document uses the term "lag bolt" to generically represent whatever fastener is best
suited for the type of structure on which the scoreboard display will hang. To use the
mounting tabs provided with the scoreboard, you will need two such lag bolts. The
keyhole slots stamped into the back of the display allow for a bolt diameter of 3/8 inches
or less.
In addition to the wall and the two lag bolts, this document also assumes the installer
has access to tools and skills for...
•
Working at the height designated for positioning of the scoreboard display
•
Anchoring the lag bolts
•
Lifting the scoreboard cabinet into position
