MOUNTING THE SHOT CLOCKS ON A WALL
1. Carefully remove each shot clock from its packaging, making sure not to pry against or cut into
the clock’s cabinet. Inspect each unit for shipping damage according to the instructions on
page 1.
2. Connect a lift device to the two hanging brackets on the top of the clock and lift the unit into
place. (See illustration below for location of hanging brackets.)
3. If anchors are to be used, use the pre-drilled mounting holes in the top and bottom mounting
flanges as a template for marking the drill locations for the anchors, two (2) through the top
mounting flange and two (2) through the bottom mounting flange.
4. Move the clock away from the wall and drill the holes for the anchors. Install the anchors in the
wall. (See illustration below for location of mounting flanges and mounting holes.)
5. Once the anchors are installed (or if no anchors are to be used) the clock may be fastened
securely to the wall. Use hardware appropriate for the surface to which the unit will be
mounted.
6. For concrete or concrete block walls, the use of bolts and anchors is recommended. No
mounting brackets are necessary as the pre-drilled mounting flanges on the top and bottom of
the clock are used to mount the unit directly to the wall.
7. The clock must be attached to the wall securely through both mounting holes in the top
mounting flange and both mounting holes in the bottom mounting flange. (See illustration
below for location of mounting holes and mounting flanges.)

SUSPENDING THE SHOT CLOCKS
1. Carefully remove each shot clock from its packaging, making sure not to pry against or cut into
the clock’s cabinet. Inspect each unit for shipping damage according to the instructions on
page 1.
2. If the clock must be lifted into place before the permanent suspension cables can be attached
the unit may be raised into position by connecting a lift device to the two mounting holes in the
unit’s top mounting flange.
3. Then, two (2) separate suspension cables may be attached to the hanging brackets in the top
of the unit. (See illustration below for locations of mounting holes, top mounting flange, and
hanging brackets.)
4. If the clock is to be lifted into position using the same cables that will permanently suspend it,
these cables may be attached directly to the hanging brackets in the top of the unit. (See
illustration below for location of hanging brackets.)
NOTE: It is recommended that the cables that will be used to permanently suspend the
scoreboard be attached to the structure first, then to the clock’s hanging brackets after it is
lifted into position using a lifting device.

RUNNING & CONNECTING THE CONTROL CABLE
For Stand Alone Installations:
The control cable should run from each shot clock to a location that is within 10 feet of the
scorekeeper’s location terminating at two (2) 2”x4” wall boxes (one for each shot clock control cable).
1. The control cable must be run in conduit.
2. The control cable should NOT be run in the same conduit with electrical lines.
3. Install the wall plates with DIN sockets, one per wall box, by making up the wiring
connections as shown on the wall plate label.
4. The LCD controller will connect to the receptacles on the junction box covers via the
included 20-ft. control cables.
Shot Clock Installation – Stand Alone Application
At The Scorekeeper’s Location:
1. Connect the leads inside the control cables to those on the junction box covers.
2. Connect one control cable to one junction box cover and the second control cable to the
