    Revised January 22, 2018 LX2350-4 Owner's Manual 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 scoreboard. The final hookups for power and data will happen after the mechanical installation.
  • Page 12 LX2350-4 Owner's Manual Revised January 22, 2018 In the preceding illustrations, it is assumed that all four faces of the scoreboard will be synchronized to the same control console (using data cable) and powered via the same electrical circuit. It is possible to treat each scoreboard cabinet independently. If your facility requires separate management of the scoreboard faces, please discuss the requirements with your scoreboard sales rep.
  • Page 13 A control console used with an external ScoreLink transmitter will need an extra receptacle for the transmitter's power supply. Model LX2350-4 draws a maximum of 7.6 amps (1.9 amps per scoreboard face) when the package includes Electronic Team Names. Without ETNs, the maximum current is 4.8 amps (1.2 amps per scoreboard face).

Or the junction box can be positioned (with slack on the other side) to be lowered and raised along with the scoreboard assembly.
  • Page 17 The preceding material discussed how to run data cable for a single scoreboard display. When multiple 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.

That is, you can't take the signal from one data port on the back of the control console to two or more displays.

If you've designed the power and data cabling to reach the scoreboard cabinets while they are still on the floor, you should make those connections now and test the system before raising it.
