JOINING THE TWO PANELS TOGETHER
Carefully remove the scoreboard from its packaging, making sure not
to pry against or cut into the cabinet. Inspect each unit for shipping
damage according to the instructions on page 6.
1 /
Lay both sections down, face up, with the cabinets aligned. Connect
the sections with the supplied plates, one on the top, and one on the
bottom as pictured.

3/
Open both access doors on the back and connect the wiring.
Make sure you note the wiring of the connectors as they can be
connected backwards. The flat ribbon cable will have a purple
line on one side so be sure this matches. The power harness will
only connect one way.

of the scoreboard and lift enough to acquire access to the back of the
panels. Cardboard or foam packaging can be used as a pad between
the lift and scoreboard to protect the scoreboard face.

MOUNTING THE SCOREBOARD ON A WALL
2 /
Lift the scoreboard to the desired location and mark the holes
in the top and bottom flanges. It may be necessary to mark the
top ange, install anchors, and secure the top of the scoreboard
before having access to the bottom ange. Ensure that you use
allfour mounting holes in the top and bottom anges.
Carefully remove the scoreboard from its packaging, making sure not
to pry against or cut into the cabinet. Inspect each unit for shipping
damage according to the instructions on page 6.
1 /
Connect a lift device to the two hanging brackets on the top of the
scoreboard and lift the scoreboard into place. Refer to the illustration
to see the location of the hanging/lifting holes.
NOTE: Use hardware appropriate for the wall type you are mounting to
and capable of supporting the weight of the scoreboard. No mounting
brackets are necessary as the pre-drilled mounting anges on the top
and bottom of the scoreboard are provided to mount the scoreboard
directly to the wall. The scoreboard must be attached to the wall
securely through all four (4) mounting holes in the top and bottom
mounting anges. (See the gure for location of mounting holes and
mounting anges.)

12
HANGING THE SCOREBOARD FROM THE CEILING
Carefully remove the scoreboard from its packaging, making
sure not to pry against or cut into the cabinet. Inspect each unit
for shipping damage according to the instructions on page 6.
1 /
If eye bolts, cables, or chains are to be used to suspend the
scoreboard, ensure that they are capable of supporting the
weight of the scoreboard. Choose one of the following methods
to get the scoreboard into place:
Connect the cables or chains you will use to suspend the score-
board to the hanging brackets on top of the scoreboard cabinet
using “C” clips or clevises. Connect the strap, cable, or chain you
will use to lift the scoreboard to the two outside mounting holes
in the top rear ange.
OR
Connect the cables or chains you will use to suspend the score-
board to the hanging brackets on top of the scoreboard cabinet
using “C” clips or clevises. Connect the strap, cable, or chain you
will use to lift the scoreboard to the same “C” clips or clevises.
3 /
If the scoreboard will be against the lift during lifting, place card-
board or foam between the lift and scoreboard to protect the face
of the scoreboard. Lift the scorbeoard into place. Check clearance
during lift. Connect the suspension system and lower the score-
board until its weight is on the suspension system and disconnect
the lifting cables from the scoreboard.
4 /
Place a level in the top channel of the scoreboard cabinet to see if
adjustments need to be made.
NOTE: It is recommended that the cables will be used to per-
manently suspend the scoreboard be attached to the ceiling
structure first, then to the scoreboard’s hanging brackets after
it is lifted into position using a lifting device.

THE SCOREBOARAD WILL BE POWERED FROM A DEDICATED 120V/20A CIRCUIT.
ADDITIONALLY, SINCE THE SCOREBOARD’S POWER SHOULD BE TURNED OFF AFTER
EACH USE, THERE SHOULD BE EASY ACCESS TO THE POWER SWITCH OR CIRCUIT
BREAKER. IF ACCESS TO THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IS NOT AN OPTION, INSTALL A SWITCH
SOMEWHERE THAT IS ACCESSIBILE, EVEN IF UNDER THE SCOREBOARD AT AN ABOVE
AVERAGE HEIGHT.
1 /
Open the power/signal access
door on the top of the score-
board. Locate the power input
wires.
2 /
The connections are stan-
dard black, white, and green
(ground). Included is a utility
ground which must be used.
Make up the power supply
connections and replace the
utility box cover.
3 /
Close and secure the power/
signal access door.
NOTE: The location of the disconnect switch
after installation shall comply with Article 600
of the National Electric Code.
