Scoreboard: How do I change wireless scoreboard radio receiver settings?
Topic
- How do I change the Broadcast and Channel settings on my scoreboard radio receiver?
Environment
- Product: Scoreboard
- Component: Gen V (5) or Gen VI (6) radio receiver installed in an LED scoreboard
- Control System: Radio-equipped All Sport or OmniSport console, MX-1
Steps
- If it has been determined that a nearby wireless scoreboard or other radio signal in the area is interfering, the default broadcast and channel settings of the radio receiver inside the scoreboard(s) must be changed.
Note: Always disconnect scoreboard power before servicing!
- Locate the black antenna - typically sticking out the front of the scoreboard - and the receiver unit will be directly behind it.
- Use a Phillips head screwdriver to gain access inside the scoreboard and reveal the receiver unit. The receiver unit is a black box connected to the antenna. It has a plastic cover and a window to view status indicators.
- Remove the four screws in each corner using a longer, smaller Philips head screwdriver and lift off the cover.
- The process of changing the radio settings depends on the generation of the radio.
- Gen V (blue label): Use a small flathead screwdriver to turn the CHAN rotary switch to a new channel (1-8). Move the jumper wire on the J4 or J5 BCAST jacks to a new broadcast group (1-4) as needed. Broadcast groups 2 and 4 may only use channels 1-4.
- Gen VI (gray label): Use a small flathead screwdriver to turn the CHAN and BCAST rotary switches to a new value (1-8) as needed. Be sure to always leave FUNC set to 1.
Note: Regardless of radio generation, the factory default settings are BCAST = 1, CHAN = 1.
- Gen V (blue label): Use a small flathead screwdriver to turn the CHAN rotary switch to a new channel (1-8). Move the jumper wire on the J4 or J5 BCAST jacks to a new broadcast group (1-4) as needed. Broadcast groups 2 and 4 may only use channels 1-4.
- Screw the cover back on the receiver unit, and then securely close the scoreboard access panel.
- Enter the new radio settings into the console to test the radio control. Refer to How do I determine my scoreboard’s All Sport radio settings? .
