Santech employs the latest
technologies to make our scoreboards easier to install, use, and maintain.
Santech began manufacturing scoreboards in 1988.
The early scoreboards used light bulbs. They used a lot of power and
were prone to frequent failure from burning out and breakage. In the
early 90's light emitting diodes were finally becoming bright enough to be
used in scoreboards. Santech has been manufacturing wireless LED
scoreboards since 1994. Santech was a pioneer in this area.
Santech was also one of the first company's
to eliminate the need for a control cable. This saves a lot in
installation cost, and repairs
To make installation easier, Santech designed
a new type of frame that is only 2" deep, but very strong. We provide
innovations that improve our customers experience as soon as possible. |

Why Compromise... When You Can Customize? |
|
| |
That has been our official
slogan for about two years. However, in 1995 when we began to design
the second generation of our scoreboards, we decided to purposely make all
of our hardware and software modular so that we could easily create
scoreboards that were exactly what our customers wanted. |

Why do we call our scoreboards,
"Maintenance Free"? |
|
| |
Before 1988, Santech repaired
other companies scoreboards. We found that they were not very
reliable. That was good for us since we made our money by repairing
scoreboards. The company president realized that if we could make a
product that was very reliable we would have a big advantage. Since
then we have carefully kept track of the reasons why our products have
required repair and tried to eliminate those problems in the next
generation. We are currently on our seventh generation of scoreboard
hardware and software. |

How are Santech Scoreboards Built?
Why are they better? |
|
| |
We don't cut corners with quality. The
scoreboard frame is a lattice of continuously welded aluminum box tubing.
This makes the scoreboard frame very strong, yet does not require as much
depth and associated weight. The frame is then powder coated.
Powder coat is a very tough baked on plastic resin with pigment. It is
one of the most durable coatings available.
Our displays are one piece for reliability
and use LEDs from a top tier manufacturer. We build them in-house to
ensure quality. We drive them using a proprietary method which required
years of research to develop. We typically get 160,000 hours of life
out of our displays. Compare this to our competitors. Since LEDs are the most expensive component in an LED
scoreboard, be skeptical if you are getting too good of a price on your LED
scoreboard. Years ago we tried using lower cost LEDs, but soon
realized that was a mistake. The article link below helps explain why
we buy the best LEDs and why buying a super bargain scoreboard is a bad
idea.

We protect our displays with polycarbonate
plastic. Polycarbonate is extremely impact resistant. Our
scoreboards do not require protective netting or metal bars over the
displays.
Our electronics are state of the art.
We revise our electronics continuously to keep up with advances, make our
product more reliable and add features. |

Our sales people are sports people. |
|
| |
When you call to order your scoreboard, you will
be talking to someone who is more than a telephone salesperson. They
give good advice because they know sports and their goal is to help you find
the best product for your application.
We follow through, from the initial quotation
that includes a rendering of the finished scoreboard, to providing any
needed assistance after the sale. When you buy a Santech Scoreboard we
make sure that you remain happy long after the sale. Referrals from
former customers are a major part of our sales. |
