INSTRUCTIONS FOR WIRING
(See Installation Diagram)
Electrical Specifications: Electric outlets for scoreboards are always on a “clean” unused, switched
breaker box. Pay close attention to the power source and connections. It is recommended that a
key-switch or switched breaker box be used to turn off the system at the end of use each day. The
scoreboard should always be powered down when not in use.
Power Requirement: 120VAC @ 1 amp. Eversan, Inc. recommends using a 10-amp, GFCI, breaker
for outdoor scoreboard power.
Optional Battery: 12VDC 7AH rechargeable battery may be purchased to use with this scoreboard.
The four-pin round connector on the left side of scoreboard is the input for DC power.
CAUTION: (Cabled System Only) The data cable is a pre-wired, 2 conductor shielded, 22GA
stranded cable. Any cable splicing should be color-coded or failure of the computer power supply will
result. Continuity of the shield is essential in reducing possible damage due to lightening.
