Indoor Basketball Shot Clock Set
The purpose of this manual is to explain how to install and maintain the Electro-Mech
Model LX2160 Indoor Basketball Shot Clock set. Operation of this scoreboard system
is covered in the manual that ships with the main basketball scoreboard control console.
Model LX2160 is shipped as a set of two displays. The standard package includes a
wired handheld switch assembly which is intended to plug into the control console used
with the main basketball scoreboard. Because Shot Time is linked to Period Time in
basketball, the shot clock system must be used along with a basketball scoreboard
showing Period Time in order to work properly. Electro-Mech LX-series basketball
scoreboards are operated by control consoles that are compatible with this shot clock
set.

    LX2160 Owner's Manual Revised July 29, 2019 PLANNING YOUR SCOREBOARD INSTALLATION A good plan is important to the success of any project, and installing shot clocks is no exception. An important first step in planning for your shot clocks is determining the optimal location.

  • Page 10: Electrical Installation

    LX2160 Owner's Manual Revised July 29, 2019 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION This section of the manual provides information that is important for locating power receptacles, running cable, planning for conduit, and other steps needed in preparation for bringing power and data to the shot clock displays. The final hookups for power and data will happen after the mechanical installation.
  • Page 11 ScoreLink transmitter will need an extra receptacle for the transmitter's power supply. Model LX2160 draws a maximum of 0.3 amps at each cabinet. It is common to wire the receptacles for both shot clock displays, along with the receptacle for the main basketball scoreboard display, on a single circuit sharing a disconnect switch.
  • Page 12 That is, you want to feed the long run of data cable into the box rather than pulling the pigtail out. Electro-Mech provides a strain relief on one side of the junction box to secure the cable. You may choose to connect conduit directly to the Page 12 800.445.7846 ·...
  • Page 13 Revised July 29, 2019 LX2160 Owner's Manual junction box, in which case the strain relief will not be needed. The junction box is designed to accept 3/4-inch conduit fittings. We recommend running data cable in conduit from the junction boxes to the shot clock displays ─...
  • Page 14 LX2160 Owner's Manual Revised July 29, 2019 Connecting data cable to the stereo plug requires soldering to two terminals. Slide the cover and sleeve over the data cable before soldering. The terminal nearer the center of the plug body connects to the tip of the socket. The black wire from the data cable should be soldered to this terminal.
  • Page 15 The preceding material discussed how to run data cable for a single pair of shot clocks. When multiple scoreboard displays are installed in the same facility, the options can become confusing. Please discuss cabling plans with your Electro-Mech sales rep to make certain you receive all the materials you need to meet your expectations. Since...
  • Page 16 LX2160 Owner's Manual Revised July 29, 2019 Sometimes Separate, Sometimes Together As mentioned previously, the current loop signal that sends data from the control consoles to the scoreboard cannot be split. That is, you can't take the signal from one data port on the back of the control console to two or more scoreboards.

  • Page 17: Mechanical Installation

    In some cases, it may be easier to attach support pieces to the sides of the shot clock cabinets. The side mounting points accept 3/8-inch 16 bolts. Electro-Mech recommends you find a reputable sign installer with the equipment and experience to handle the work mentioned above. If you are unfamiliar with sign installers in your area, contact your scoreboard sales rep for recommendations.
  • Page 18 LX2160 Owner's Manual Revised July 29, 2019 Finalizing If you've followed the process as it was presented in this document, you will already have electrical receptacles and data cabling (if used) in place. At this point you should plug the shot clock’s power cord into the power receptacle. If you are hard-wiring the data cable, connect the plugs to the input ports on top of the cabinet.

  • Page 19: Testing, Operation, And Ongoing Care

    Revised July 29, 2019 LX2160 Owner's Manual TESTING, OPERATION, AND ONGOING CARE After all power, data, and other connections are in place, it is time to test the shot clock system. Apply power to the shot clock displays first. Although there is no harm in powering the control console first, powering the signs first should result in the numeric displays to remaining blank.

  • Page 20: Maintenance

    When contacting Electro-Mech for support, it helps to have the scoreboard model (LX2160) handy as well as the version of the software running on your control console. The console software version flashes briefly (for about 3 seconds) on the console's LCD display when you first apply power to it.

  • Page 22 LX2160 Owner's Manual Revised July 29, 2019 Location of Serviceable Parts All serviceable parts are located behind the detachable aluminum face of each shot clock display. If your shot clocks include ScoreLink RF receiver units, they will be accessible on the face, just below the LED digit assembly. The next section of this document discusses removing the face to access internal circuitry.
  • Page 23 Revised July 29, 2019 LX2160 Owner's Manual Illuminated PCB Assemblies The LED assemblies and circuit boards (but not individual LEDs) are field replaceable parts. Each LED is soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB) which is, in turn, attached to the detachable aluminum face. The face is attached to the scoreboard cabinet with self-tapping screws.
  • Page 24 LX2160 Owner's Manual Revised July 29, 2019 Power Supplies and Fuses AC power enters each shot clock cabinet through a power cord attached to the top of the cabinet. Inside the cabinet, the cord brings AC power to a Mean Well RSP-320-24 power supply module, with the AC line side passing through a 5-amp fuse along the way.
