INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
This manual will walk you through the installation of the scoreboard. While care has been taken to
consider the many scenarios for installation, some general information applies to all. Use this guide
as closely as possible to ensure proper installation, as follows:
1. Review the product specifications below to determine your specific installation hardware.
2. Determine where to install the scoreboard and install the mounting poles/beams.
3. Arrange scoreboard panels for the assembly process.
4. Install sponsor panels if applicable.
5. Install the control cable for cable-controlled systems. No additional installation is necessary
for Wireless Remote Control systems.
6. Install electrical system.
7. Install any other options; such as protective nets or horns, according to the installation
instructions included with each option package.
8. Test the installed system.

5
•Access must be provided to turn off the power to the scoreboard after each use. Failure
to turn off the power to the scoreboard could affect the functionality of the scoreboard;
such as from a power surge or lightning strike.
•It is important to utilize the equipment ground inside the scoreboard cabinet at
the utility box provided for the AC power connection.
Keyboard controller:
•1 - 120-volt, 15-amp, 60 Hz grounded AC circuit - standard wall receptacle.
Communication Cable Requirements (for cable-controlled systems only):
Four conductor cable – 28 gauge, twisted pair (two pairs), shielded data cable
DETERMINING LOCATION AND ORIENTATION
The scoreboard should be positioned so that the greatest number of spectators can easily view it.
Also, consider the best orientation of the scoreboard should the system be used to score a daytime or
afternoon game. The scoreboard should be positioned so that sunlight does not glare off of its face.
In the U.S., placement on the South or West side of the field is recommended. Consult with the local
building or zoning department before final determination and installing the scoreboard.
Helpful Installation Tips:
1. When removing the scoreboard from its packaging, do not pry against or cut into the
scoreboard. Cut the packing straps and remove the box.
2. Inspect the unit for shipping damage according to the instructions on page 3.
3. Each piece of the provided 6’ X 3.5” angle iron has two holes provided for a lifting shackle
or clevis. The one 6’ angle iron is the top mounting angle iron. Ensure that the pin for your
clevis will pass through those holes. If not, it is easier to make changes before going
further, whether a smaller clevis or a larger hole is required.
4. When installing the poles/I-beams that support the scoreboard, it is important to keep the
spacing accurate and the faces straight. If you are using beams, a good way to keep the
faces straight is to clamp a length of the 10’ X 3.5” angle to the beams as they are placed,
and if necessary, provide bracing until the concrete has cured. The poles/beams should be
allowed to stand overnight for the concrete to cure enough to support the scoreboard.
5. Arrange 4 each 2” X 4” X 8’ boards into two rows, two in each row for the bottom of the
board, and two row of one each that will be for the top of the scoreboard, roughly three (3)
feet apart on the ground in front of where you are to install the scoreboard. This will serve
as a “table” for assembly and helps to keep the face of the scoreboard off of the ground. If
the scoreboard uses wireless communication, remove the antenna from the panel it is
mounted on until the scoreboard is installed.
