TESTING, OPERATION, AND ONGOING CARE
After all power, data, and other connections are in place, it is time to test the locker
room clock. Apply power to the locker room clock display first. Although there is no
harm in powering the control console first, powering the clock first should result in the
numeric displays remaining blank. Seeing any LEDs illuminated on a locker room clock
display prior to the availability of data from the control console would indicate a problem
inside of the locker room clock cabinet.
Next, power up the control console. For wired setups, connect any stereo patch cables
to the data output ports on the back of the control console. The other ends of these
patch cables are typically plugged into junction boxes, but may be plugged directly into
the data input port on the side of the locker room clock.
The locker room clock display should begin showing data within a few seconds,
displaying the same information as the clock on the main scoreboard display. The
console buttons that control the main scoreboard clock also control the locker room
clock. For more details about how the control console works, consult the
documentation that ships with it.
Scheduled Testing and Maintenance
The locker room clock does not require scheduled maintenance procedures. However,
it is important to check for problems prior to a game. We recommend running through
the tests described above between two and four weeks prior to the start of a season (or
anytime you plan to use the locker room clock after a gap of more than a month).
During the season, test out the locker room clock the day before each game.
After the Game, and After the Season
Whenever you are not using your locker room clock, use the disconnect switch to cut
power to the display. You should unplug the control console from its power source and
from the data cables as well. It is not necessary to take steps beyond this, even if the
locker room clock will not be used for several months.
