Topic
- How to set the backboard LED strip to light when the shot clock runs out as well as at the End of Period (EOP)?

- Component: BB-2135, BB-2133 LED light strips
- Control System: All Sport 5000 Series Console
Steps
- For colleges/universities under the NCAA umbrella: Per NCAA rulings, the backboard lights CANNOT go off when the shot clock =0, and may only go off at the End of Period.
- See HERE for the NCAA's Letter on the interpretation of backboard light strip permissible usage.
- If the shot clock is clear or two-sided transparent, reference proper switch settings with KB: Shot Clock: What are the two sided transparent clear shot clock dip switch settings for the driver in the enclosure?
- If the shot clock has an internal relay board and 3-pin XLR on the side; verify relay board set for: (Relay card can be found with label 0P-1150-0242)
- OFF - GAME HORN
- OFF - SHOT HORN

- OFF - GAME HORN

- If the shot clock does not have an internal relay board and 3-pin XLR on the side; open and verify the external light strip control enclosure set for: (Control enclosure can be found with label 0A-1230-0088 or 0A-1389-0056 on the bottom)
- 'Selection' Gray wire is only on TB11 pin 3 GAME CLK = 0 (Gray-to-Gray only connection made on TB11 pin 3)
- See HERE for the NCAA's Letter on the interpretation of backboard light strip permissible usage.
- For High Schools and younger leagues, Daktronics recommends you check with your state rules committee to ensure compliance before modifying these settings.
- Proceed only if for High School or younger league and you have checked with your state/league rules committee or rule book.
- Light strips are designed to act as EOP indicators (game clock=0) and are not factory set to light when shot clock=0. However, if using Daktronics Shot Clocks or Light Strip Controllers with a All Sport control console they can be set to light at shot clock=0. To change the settings for EOP's to light at both shot and game clock=0 do the following:
- Power down the shot clock at the breaker or power cord.
- Access the relay board in the shot clock.
- Set dip switches 2,4,6,8 to "On" to act as EOP as well as shot clock=0.
