the end of the paper square.
4. Place the roll of paper into the printer compartment so that
the paper feeds up from underneath the roll (Figure 25). If the
paper is placed incorrectly (Figure 26), the printer will act like
it is printing, but no text will appear on the paper.
5. Place the newly cut squared edge of the paper into the back
side of the black rubber roller on the printer. The printer
should automatically advance—pulling the paper through
the printer.
6. Place the cover back on and turn the latch to secure.
The thermo printer paper can be ordered from Daktronics—part
# SF-1034. Thermo printer paper is also readily available at
office supply stores (58mm wide and 165' long max).

3.5 Setting Radio Channels on Wireless Consoles
Reference Drawings:
Channel Selection; Multiple Broadcast Group, Gen IV .......................... Drawing A-203113
Installation Details, Gen VI Channel Selection Guide .......................... Drawing A-1109870
The radio receiver units used in Daktronics scoreboards have a channel (CHAN) switch that
can be set from 1–8. The receivers also have a broadcast group (BCAST) setting. The
broadcast group defines a group of radio receivers that “listen” to the channel selected on the channel switch as well as “listen” for data sent out on their broadcast channel.
Note: The number of available broadcast groups varies depending on the generation of
radio receiver: Gen V radio receivers have 1–4, while Gen VI radio receivers have 1–8.
Each radio receiver will accept data sent from the broadcast channel of its respective
broadcast group, as well as data sent from the “Master Broadcast” channel. This is selected
when the console is set to BCAST 0 and CHAN 00.
In this type of system, the receiver unit at the scoreboard must have the channel switch set to
a specific channel. The operator must know which channel is selected in the scoreboard. The
operator must then enter the specific channel when prompted during console startup.
To determine the settings of a scoreboard, first power it down and shut off any radioequipped consoles in the area. Next, power the scoreboard back up and watch for the radio
settings. The settings will appear as “bX CY” where X is the current broadcast group and Y is
the current channel.
The console automatically detects when a radio transmitter is installed and will prompt the
user for transmitter settings after powering on the console.
Note: If interference from a nearby Daktronics system is suspected, press <CLEAR> at
the “RADIO SETTINGS” prompt to change the channel number.
There are three different radio scenarios that can be accommodated: a single controller
system, a multiple controller system with a single broadcast group, and a multiple controller
system with multiple broadcast groups. These scenarios are described below.
Single Controller Systems Channel Setting
In a single controller system, all radio receivers and all scoreboards receive signal from the
same console at all times. The default channel and broadcast group settings on the receiver
are not typically modified. This is the most common setup.
Typically all single controller systems will use the default setting of BCAST=1, Chan= 1.
All radio receivers in the system must be set to the same values.
Multiple Controller with Single Broadcast Group Channel Setting
In a multiple controller system with a single broadcast group, there may be one console for
each scoreboard and/or one master controller that can run every scoreboard at one time or
take control of a specific scoreboard.

Multiple controller systems typically use Broadcast 1 and Channel 1 for the first controller
and Channels 2-8 for all remaining controllers. All radio receivers in the system must be set to
Broadcast 1 (BCAST 1).
Multiple Controller with Multiple Broadcast Systems Channel Setting
In a multiple controller system with multiple broadcast groups, there are many consoles that
control multiple scoreboards and/or scoreboard groups. The radio receiver inside the
scoreboard is set to broadcast group 1–4 (Gen V) or 1–8 (Gen VI). By changing the console
settings to the specific broadcast group address, a single console can control all scoreboards
or specific groups of scoreboards.
Typically, all multiple controller systems will use BCAST 1, CHAN 1 for the first controller in
Broadcast Group 1 and BCAST 2, CHAN 1 for the first controller in Broadcast Group 2. All
other consoles in a group are added sequentially.

4.1 General Rodeo Timer Information
The OmniSport 2000 Timer can be used in four separate modes of operation. Three of the four
modes can be used with an external timer using wireless photocells.
Manual Timing Mode
Manual Timing mode is used for events where a competitor’s time determines the place
winner. Timing inputs are one, two or three manual pushbuttons connected to the Daktronics
photocell interface. Examples of timed events using timer buttons are steer wrestling, calf
roping, and team roping. Press [1 TIMER], [2 TIMER], or [3 TIMER] to select Manual Timing mode with the appropriate number of timer button inputs.
When in Manual Timing mode:
The left LCD shows the leader number and time along with the current (now up) number.
The center LCD shows the official timer (T) along with each timer value (1, 2, or 3). With
1 or 2 TIMER selected, photocell status is also visible. Refer to the table on the following
page for descriptions of possible photocell statuses.
The right LCD shows the default horn time (H), the current number of timers selected,
and the judges’ console status (J1 or J? ifnot properly connected/communicating). For
more information about judge’s console operation, refer to Section 6.

Section 6: Judges’ Console Operation
The judges’ consoles are used to enter scores during scored events. The OmniSport rodeo timer can be
set to use 1, 2, or 4 for Scored Events or 1, 2, 3, or 5 for Cutting. Refer to the system risers Drawing B-220003 and Drawing A-230608 for connection details.
For more information about the RC-100 wireless system, refer to the Remote Control System RC-100 All Sport Operation Manual (ED-15133), available online at www.daktronics.com/manuals.
6.1 Console Setup
When the consoles are first connected to the OmniSport
timer they will prompt the user to enter a judge number.
The LCD on the judge’s console will display this prompt and wait for the user to enter a
number from one up to the maximum number of judges’ consoles the OmniSport is
configured to use. If the number has already been used by another judge or is above the
number of judges the console will beep and wait for a new
number. Once the judge’s console has selected a judge
number, the LCD will display which judge number it is set
for as shown at right.
6.2 Scored Events Operation
The request for scores will show on the judges’ consoles after
the timer has stopped. Enter the score(s), and then press
[ENTER] to confirm. If the score is out of the acceptable
range, the console will beep and wait for a different score.
After a valid score is entered, “OK” will appear by the
competitor number. Once the score is accepted, the console
will indicate this.
The four modes of score entry are shown below. Refer to Section 4.5 for selecting score modes.
Combined Mode
In combined mode, the total score for rider and stock is
entered.
Separate Mode
In separate mode, the rider and stock scores are entered
separately.
Total/Stock Mode
In total/stock mode, the total score is entered first, and then
the stock score is entered.
