3.7 Optional Top Ad Panel or Message Center Attachment
Reference Drawing:
Top 4-Side Ad Panel Mounting ............................................................... Drawing A-107665
Note: Make sure all power and signal wires are connected on top of the scoreboard
before mounting an ad panel/message center – it will be very difficult to make these
connections once upper display tiers have been added. Refer to Section ‎4.2.
Drawing A-107665 in Appendix E illustrates the parts used in this procedure. The ad panels
or the message centers are attached to the top of the scoreboard with mounting strips, and
then joined at the top with brackets.
1. Attach the mounting strips to the top of the scoreboard. The mounting strips are
fitted with 1 /
4
" threaded inserts. Two mounting strips are required for each ad
panel/message center.
a. Position a mounting strip inside the top channel of the scoreboard section,
aligned with the holes in the rear flange.
b. Use the 1 /
4
" bolts and tapered washers to attach the mounting strips to the
scoreboards. The tapered washers allow the ad panels/message centers to be
supported in a vertical position while the scoreboard remains tilted out 10°.
2. Lift one ad panel/message center into place atop the scoreboard section, and align
the holes along the bottom of the rear flange with the threaded inserts in the
mounting strips.
3. Insert and tighten 1 /
4
" bolts along the rear flange of the ad panel.
4. Ask for assistance as needed to support the ad panel/message center section and
prevent it from tipping as the second ad panel/message center is lifted into place
adjacent to the first and secured to the frame.
5. Join the two ad panel/message center sections at their common top corner using a
top bracket and 3 /
8
" hardware. Once the two sections are joined at the top, they will
not require additional support during assembly.
6. Attach the third ad panel/message center section to the mounting strips on the top of
the scoreboard and to the second section at the top corners.
7. Attach the fourth ad panel/message center section to the mounting strips on the top
of the scoreboard and to the third section at the top corners.
3.8 Optional Ad Panels on Message Centers
Repeat the mounting procedures detailed in the section above, with one major difference:
the ad panels and message centers are both vertical and do not require the alignment angle
change provided by the tapered washers, and therefore tapered washers will not be used. +
