Mounting Locations
A unique mounting location for the PBA-4 (L) has been developed that allows the portable, 30 inch wide scoreboard to take the place of a larger outfield mounted scoreboard. In this position, the spectators on both sides, coaches, and the majority of players have a great view of the PBA-4 (L).
The ideal mounting location for the PBA-4 (L) is five to ten feet past first (or third) base, in the fence line, and angled towards home plate. This location and angle allows a good view by the spectators on both sides, the coaches, and the majority of players. Everyone will finally know what's going on.
Traditional outfield scoreboards have digit sizes of nine to twelve inches. The PBA-4 has four inch digits, but it is located at 1/3 the distance, making it equal or better in visibility to the larger and more costly outfield scoreboards.
There are a number of alternate mounting locations for the PBA-4. These include on top of the dugout, behind the backstop, and others... Contact ScoreTronics for helpful ideas on your unique field.
Foul Balls:
The PBA-4 (L) was designed for this close-in location and was engineered to withstand occasional hits by foul balls. (Customers indicate that this occurs on average less than once per season). The front panel is made of thick polycarbonate (Lexan), an extremely tough material. Please contact ScoreTronics if you would like further information on this.
