Mechanical Installation 5
Section 2: Mechanical Installation
Mechanical installation involves the following procedures:
 Erecting the mounting structure or preparing the wall surface for mounting
 Mounting the caption modules to the digit modules
 Mounting the digit modules to the wall or mounting structure
These steps are described in greater detail in the following sections.
Refer to the electrical installation drawing before beginning the mechanical installation
procedure. It is important to recognize where the electrical wires are located so knockouts can
be removed respectively before the display has been mounted. It will be easier to install
electrical hookup items, route conduits and attach hookup boxes before mechanical
installation.
2.1 Installing Caption Modules

Caption Module Detail ............................................ Drawing A-130840
Attach the caption module to the digit module before attaching the digit module to
the wall.
The caption modules are attached to the top or bottom of a digit module with #10
machine screws (refer to Drawing A-130319). Before attaching the caption module,
note its orientation. The top and bottom guides for holding the caption panel are
different sizes. Be sure the module is oriented so that the deeper guide is toward the
top.
To insert a caption panel, fit the top edge of the caption panel into the module's upper
guide, and then slide the bottom edge under the lower guide (refer to Drawing A-
130840). The construction of the guides allows the caption panels to be lifted out for
changing, rather than having to slide them out one end.
The caption panels must be properly positioned in relation to the scoreboard digits
for different activities. Refer to Drawings A-130319, A-130321, and A-130801 for
caption layouts. The drawings indicate the location of the digits that will be used for
the various events and sports. The captions may be positioned accordingly.
