Mechanical Installation
Multi-line display models that use a single vertical arrangement of modules may be
mounted with corner brackets. Horizontal display configurations, however, cannot be
mounted across a corner using the simple brackets. Such displays must be attached to
a structure or framework that spans across the corner and safely supports the entire
display. This type of mounting must be designed by a qualified engineer.

SW-2000 Series scoreboards are frequently displayed as freestanding units, mounted
on steel beams. Because every display is different in terms of module configuration,
scoreboard options and environments, every installation will be unique.
Such beam-mounted installations require that a qualified engineer provide
specifications for both the reinforced concrete footings and the steel support beams.
Two beams are required for each column of display modules, and they must be set 4'-
6” apart, center-to-center. Installations of vertical and horizontal displays are shown
in
Drawings A-194678
and
A-194677
, both of which specify the overall space
requirements for the scoreboards as well as their specific dimensions.
Each digit module has knockouts in both the rear and the end for power and signal
entrance. Power and signal are brought into one module through these external
knockouts, and connections to other modules are made internally.
Once the support beams have been installed, the scoreboard-mounting procedure is
typically a six-step process
(Refer to
Drawing A-194664
):
1.
Begin by attaching mounting brackets to the top and bottom of the lowest
digit module in the display. The brackets are fastened to the modules by
inserting 10-24 x
5
/
8
" screws through the holes in each bracket and threading
them into the captivated nuts on the back of the module.
2.
With the brackets attached, position the module against the beam and secure
it with the 15" long threaded rods with the washers and nuts provided. These
1
/

-13 x 15 threaded rods, or mounting bolts, do not go through the beam but
pass along either side; no drilling is required
(Refer to
Drawings A-194671
and
A-194674
)
. The square nuts go inside the bracket, and the hex nuts are
used inside the rear mounting angles that straddle the back of each support
beam. Tighten the assembly with a
3
/
4
" socket, taking care not to over
tighten.
Note
: Over tightening can deform the brackets and angles.
