TESTING, OPERATION, AND ONGOING CARE
After all power, data, and other connections are in place, it is time to test the system.
Apply power to the player statistics displays first. Although there is no harm in powering
up the control console first, powering up the panels first will cause the numbers on the
displays to remain blank. Any LEDs that are illuminated on the stat panels in this
condition would indicate a problem within the display.
Next, power up the control console and, for wired setups, connect a data output port on
the back of the console to the junction box (or junction boxes, if you have installed two
separate cable runs from the point of operation) using the stereo patch cable(s). The
stat panel displays will initially remain blank, waiting for the operator to enter information
at the control console. Make sure buttons on the control console produce responses at
the displays. You may need to consult documentation that ships with the control
console(s) to test certain features.
Scheduled Testing and Maintenance
Electro-Mech scoreboard systems do 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 system after a gap of more than a month).
During the season, test out the scoreboard system the day before each game.
After the Game, and After the Season
Whenever you are not using your player statistics scoreboard system, use the
disconnect switch to cut power to the display cabinets. You should unplug the control
console from its power source and from the data cable as well. It is not necessary to
take steps beyond this, even if the scoreboard will not be used for several months.
