Unpacking and assembly instructions 

 

Required components:   

@@ADD DETAILED CONTENT DESCRIPTIONS FOR EACH CASE 
 

  Qty 2 Black cases with one handle and two twist latches.  These cases hold the 

large displays. 

 

  Qty 2 Black case with tandem handles and three twist latches.  This case holds 

the uprights, main timing unit, wireless large display receivers and light tree 
assembly and charger. 

 

  Qty 2 Nylon tripod cases.  These two cases hold a total of three tripods – one for 

each large display and one for the trees. 

 

  Qty 1 Nylon upright base bag.  This bag holds the metal bases for the uprights 

that will be placed at the start finish line. 

 

  Qty 1 Nylon audio bag.  This case holds the amplifier/speaker and cable for the 

audio function of the EJS. 

 

You will also need: 

  40 AA batteries for a weekend and one 9-volt battery.  Do not use rechargeable 

batteries as they will not reliably operate the EJS components due to slight 
voltage differences.   

  Three extension cords – one for each large display and one for the audio system 

at the timer table. 

  Surge protection is 

required

 for each large display as well as the audio unit at the 

timer table if the system is to be used outdoors and/or connected to a generator.  
Surge protection is recommended in all other circumstances. 

 

Step 1 – Inventory what you have received 

 

Remove a copy of the EJS evaluation form from one of the longer black cases.  If none 
are present, one can be printed from the web by going to 

http://nafadb.flyball.org/ejseval.htm

 (form not yet ready - present soon). Check that you 

have received all the cases listed here and that the set designations on the cases all match 
(all the cases you have belong to the same set). Open each case and verify that the 
components in each case also match the set designation.  Note any discrepancies on the 
form and also email 

[email protected]

 with any discrepancies and/or missing or 

damaged items.
