FREIGHT RECEIVING INSTRUCTIONS

Please follow the procedure below when receiving shipments.

I. When receiving and unloading a shipment, inspect all items

carefully. It is the responsibility of the receiver to

identify any damage or shortages at the time of equipment

receipt.

A. If a shortage occurs, note the specific item shorted on the

freight bill while the driver is present.

B. Check the shipment for obvious signs of damage to

containers, or note specifically which item is damaged.

Damage to containers may or may not mean damage to

merchandise. Damaged containers should be opened and the

extent of damage to merchandise should be noted on the

delivery receipt.

C. In the case of concealed damage (damage identified after the

shipment was accepted), it is important to do the following:

1. Immediately report hidden damage to the local terminal

(contact may be made by phone but must be followed up

in writing) and request an inspection to verify the

damage and to determine a cause. This must be done

within 15 days after receipt of delivery.

2. Retain all packaging for inspector (both outer

container and any inner packing) in the same condition

and area where the damage was discovered.

3. After inspection has been completed, damaged goods must

be held for carrier's advice as to disposition unless

merchandise can be repaired or sold at a reasonable

discount.

D. It is the duty of the consignee to accept freight even though damaged (unless damaged beyond repair and practically

worthless). The fact that goods are damaged during

transportation through causes for which the carrier is

responsible, does not of itself justify the consignee in

refusing to receive them. Consignee should accept delivery

and take all necessary steps to minimize the loss. If the

goods can be repaired for a reasonable amount, the consignee

5

should arrange for such repairs and file a claim with the

carrier. If goods can be sold at a reasonable price in

damaged condition, the consignee should arrange to sell the

merchandise and secure the best available price for them, and

then files a claim with the carrier for the loss, if any.

II. Take digital photos, if possible. These photos can

be sent to Nevco and the freight carrier.

Uncrating the Table

The table will arrive in a wooden crate. It is important that

the crate be treated like any package containing electronic

equipment. Do not drop or mishandle the crated table.

This is a drawing showing how the table is packaged inside

the crate. The end of the crate has been removed to show

the position. Carefully follow the instructions (135-0232

Rev A) to prevent personal injury or damage to the table.

These instructions can be found in a plastic bag on the top

of the crate when it arrives.

INSTALLATION

9

INTRODUCTION

This manual covers the installation and service of 3-in-1

Scorer's Table.

Please review this manual carefully before proceeding with the

installation. Some variations in the cabinet design and

electrical power run may occur on any given installation.

CAUTION: All instructions in this manual should be followed

both for safety reasons and to preserve the product warranty.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

The "power run" is the main power which goes out to the Scorer's

Table location from a fused breaker panel or disconnect located

inside your facility. This power run should be installed by a

licensed electrician in accordance with all governing laws and

codes that affect the area of installation.

The power required for the display cartridge is found in the

table in Appendix A. Each table has its own standard NEMA 5-15

power cord for applying power to the cartridge of the table.

Each table also has a row of 120Vac convenience power outlets

for powering computers, scoring equipment and other electrical

items that may be needed at the table location. Nevco recommends

that you provide at least a 10-Amp service to these outlets on

each table. This outlet strip is on its own power cord and

separate from the one that runs the backlighting or LEDs for the

display. This is done so that the customer has the option of

powering the displays separate from the control equipment if

they prefer. The power strip is capable of 20Amps but this is

not typically needed for low power devices that are typically

used on the table top. The power cord for the display is located

under the table top on the back left of the cabinet (as viewed

from the back) and the power cord for the convenience power

outlets is located under the table top in the middle of the

cabinet.

10

SETUP PROCEDURE

1) Position tables close to where they need to be

located/used.

2) Lift all scorers’ tables.

3) Make sure all data & power cables are stored away from the

pinch points between the tables so they cannot be damaged when

tables are latched together.

4) Position the first table where it needs to go.

5) Position and latch the next table to it. (Make sure table

are inline and straight with one another.)

6) Repeat step five until all tables are connected.

7) Connect the data cables (black RJ-45 Ethernet Cable) from

table to table, and the NEMA power cable. All connections will

be located under the table top.

8) Connect the main power to the NEMA power cable.

9) Connect the main data/Ethernet connection to the sign.

(RJ45 or HDMI)

10) Verify that the LED video display works properly.

11) Verify that every table has 120Vac to its convenience power

outlets.

11

TILT / LIFT TABLES

CAUTION: Tables should only be tilted or lifted on a level

surface. When a table is in the tilted position it

becomes very easy to move and will start rolling if

the surface is not level.

CAUTION: The tables should not be latched together unless

all tables have been lifted first. This is needed

to prevent physical damage to the tables/signs and

also to keep power and data cables from getting

pinched and damaged.

CAUTION: Tables should only be moved when they are in the

tilted position.

To lift the scorers table you will need to lift or “swing” the

table top upwards while pushing the cabinet forward to a

vertical position. (Figure 1-3)

Figure 1-3

12

POSITIONING TABLE

After the tables have been tilted they can be rolled to the

location where needed. The tilted position allows the tables to

be easily moved and turned.

Position the tables so that they are in the proper order. Each

table is numbered to identify its proper location. Each table

is labeled in the wire tray in line with the power strip. The

numbering starts on the right most table as viewed from the back

side. If you have more than one set of table configurations,

these labels will also be labeled to indicate the proper set

each table goes with. Example: If you have a 6-Table

configuration for one side of the gym and a 2-Table

configuration for the other; you will have the following labels:

A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B1, & B2. All of the "A" tables are for

the 6-table configuration and the "B" tables for the 2-table

configuration.

LATCHING TWO OR MORE TABLES TOGETHER

Each table is equipped with a mechanical latch on each end. This

allows the individual tables to be locked together to form one

long continuous table and also make sure that the LED video

display is properly aligned for proper video and graphic

projection without gaps or skew. To operate the latches you

will need the 5/16" extended Allen driver provided with each

setup. See the following pictures that show the Allen driver

and latch locations.

Figure 1-5(Latch Close-Up)

13

Figure 1-6(Allen driver)

To latch tables together the tables must all be in the lifted

position and properly aligned. You must push the tables together

fitting the alignment pins/bullets into the corresponding holes.

There are two permanent alignment pins/bullets, one top and one

bottom, on each table to help insure proper alignment. These

pins are shown in Figure 1-9 and have the circle highlight

around them. You can now lock the tables together by engaging

the latch. It will take from 3/4 to 1 full turn of the Allen

tool to fully lock each latch.

Figure 1-7(Pins/Bullets)

14

TABLE CABLE CONNECTIONS

There are three standard cable connections that need to be made

to each table. They all must be connected and latched correctly

for everything to function properly. Each is described here:

Data Cable: The data cable is for the LED video display.

The displays must be all connected together to allow the

video information and function control signals to be sent.

This cable looks like a standard RJ-45 LAN/Ethernet cable.

There is a RJ-45 port connector on each end of the table

for this cable to plug into. See Figures 1-10 thru 1-12

for connection view.

Power Cable: This will be a black heavy cord with a NEMA

power connector on the end. This cable must be connected

to allow power to get to the table. Each of these tables

will be powered separately by its own power service/cord.

Convenience Power Outlets: The Convenience Power Outlet is

a standard 6-plex power module that is built into the

table. The cord for this convenience power hangs out the

backside of the scorers table below the table top. This

cord should be plugged into the receptacle provided on the

backside of the scorers table.

Figure (1-6)

15

DATA/CONTROL SIGNAL CONNECTION

There will be one or more of the following connections needed to

properly allow the user to control the LED video display:

> HDMI video port (standard). This is a video port used to

connect the dislay director laptop included with the

scorer’s table shipment. Connect the laptop to the HDMI

port and you are up and running.

> RJ-45 input/output ports. This port is used for tables

that are used in conjunction with other LED tables. The

table with the HDMI cable is the master table and

Ethernet cables feed data from the master table to the

connecting tables.

> Video Data RJ-45 port. This connector/port looks just

like a standard Ethernet port but must NOT be connected

to a LAN or computer Ethernet port. This connection goes

from the Nevco provided video player directly to the LED

video display. This is typically used for a system

integrating scorer’s tables with other LED video

displays.

The type of the ports listed above configured on the table is

predetermined by the user when the tables are ordered.

For each multi-display setups there will be one "Client"

computer for each display and a director computer that tells all

of the client computers what to do. The director computer is the

one that runs the video or graphics as needed on command. The

player/decoder unit is a Nevco assembly that converts the DVI

signal, coming out of the client computer, to a format that the

LED video displays need. Depending on how the system is

ordered, these items can either be located in the tables or back

in a remote media room. In addition to the client computer is a

desktop or laptop computer that is needed for user interaction

with the display. In some cases the Admin & Client computers can

be combined into one.

SERVICE

PAD REPLACEMENT

Any of the pads may at some point need replacement. They are

the end pad, and the top pad.

The end pads come as a removable part that is held in place by

keyhole locks located on each end of the table. All you have to

do is lift these pads off the keyhole knobs and replace them

with the new pads.

The top pad is held in place by a hook and loop fastening

system. To remove the top pad lift gently at a single location

towards the end of the pad and continue lifting until the pad is

free.

TABLETOP REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT

Removing or installing a tabletop is a two person job, with each

person located and holding onto opposite ends of the tabletop.

With the tabletop in its lifted position the tabletop will need

to be unbolted from the shoulder bolts on the end of the tables.

Then the right rear vertical leg assembly should be loosened

from the frame. With the leg assembly loose, you can now remove

the table from the support hole on the vertical leg assembly.

The table is now free to remove. Install a tabletop by reversing

this procedure.
