Install the backboard LED lighting by following these steps:
1. Lay out all the LED strips on the floor and arrange them in the shape of the
backboard. The longest strip should be to the top, and the power cord should come
out the bottom left light strip, as viewed from the front of the display.
2. The top LED strip will be attached to the backboard first, and the rest of the light
strips will hang down off the ends of the top light strip.
a. Attach the six mounting clips to the top LED strip using the provided #6 screws.
b. Secure the LED strip to the backboard tubing with the provided #10 self-drilling
screws. The LEDs should be flush with the glass. Refer to “Detail: A” on
Drawing B-580363 in Appendix A.
3. Mount the side and bottom LED strips into place in a similar fashion to the top strip.
4. If an LED strip controller box is used to run the backboard light strips, attach
mounting brackets to the controller and attach it to the backstop. Refer to Drawing
A-176435 in Appendix A for mounting details.
Note: Drawing A-892536 in Appendix A details the installation of the 24-second shot clock
violation backboard light strip, which requires an extended mounting clip for the top strips.

The LED backboard lighting will receive power/signal from one of three places:
1. A shot clock equipped with an LED lighting XLR jack
2. An LED light strip controller box
3. A transparent shot clock controller box with an LED lighting XLR jack
Use the 30' (9.1 m) jumper cable provided with the kit to connect the XLR plug protruding
from the bottom of the LED light strip to one of the above sources. If the jumper cable is too
long, cut it and reattach the XLR plug to the end.
Drawing B-176737 in Appendix A illustrates a typical setup using both controller and shot
clocks for light strip power. The mating XLR jacks on the light strip controller are shown in
the rear views on Drawing A-176435. For shot clock XLR jack locations, refer to the specific
component location drawings included in the shot clock’s manual.
