MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
This section of the manual describes installing the player statistics panels in their
standard configuration, on lag bolts attached to an interior wall. If your scoreboard
project includes customizations with additional ID panels or requires other special
mounting considerations, please contact the factory 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 adapt a solution.
However, we need to find out BEFORE we start building the cabinets. Let your
scoreboard sales rep know about any special needs as early as possible in the process.
Additional Materials and Tools
Most indoor player statistics displays are installed with their backs flat against a wall.
The mounting tabs and eye bolts attached to the display cabinets are simple and
generic enough to accommodate a variety of techniques for hanging the displays 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 display
cabinets and any accessories to be mounted with them.
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. This document uses the
term "lag bolt" to generically represent whatever fastener is best suited for the type of
structure on which the player statistics panels will hang. To use the mounting tabs
provided on each display cabinet, you will need two such lag bolts (per cabinet). The
keyhole slots stamped into the mounting tabs allow for a bolt diameter of 3/8 inches or
less.
In addition to the wall and the lag bolts, this document also assumes the installer has
access to tools and skills for...
•
Working at the height designated for positioning the player statistics panels
•
Anchoring the lag bolts
•
Lifting the display cabinets into position
Electro-Mech recommends you find a reputable sign installer with the equipment and
experience to handle the work mentioned above. If you are unfamiliar with sign
installers in your area, contact your scoreboard sales rep for recommendations.
