Storage Prior to Installation
Unless you are planning to install your shot clocks on the same day that they arrive, you
will need to prepare a clean, dry, secure area for storage. Even though your shot clock
displays are designed ruggedly, you will need to keep them away from moisture, dirt,
accidental damage, and abuse.
Stand the shot clock cabinets upright prior to assembly; never lay them facing up or
down. Never stack things on top of the cabinets while they are in storage.
These recommendations apply equally to ID panels and other items that may have
shipped with your shot clock displays.
Conditions of Installation and Use for Indoor Shot Clock Sets
These shot clock displays are designed for installation and use in a dry environment.
Do not attempt to install or operate shot clocks outdoors or in a wet location.
Indoor shot clock displays are typically attached to the support structure behind
basketball goals. The cabinets include multiple mounting points, which offer several
mounting options. Whatever method you choose for hanging the displays, it is
important to make sure the structure can support the added weight. Vibration is also a
factor in selecting mounting techniques for shot clocks mounted on basketball
backboards.
Each shot clock display includes an attached AC power cord fitted for a standard 120
VAC electrical outlet. When the displays are not in use, you should disconnect them
from power. For this reason, we recommend installing a dedicated disconnect switch
within sight of each shot clock display. In the "off" position, the switch should isolate all
load-carrying conductors (not the ground). This will help protect the shot clock
electronics from nearby lightning strikes and other power fluctuations that might
otherwise travel along the power cables.
