Section 1: Introduction

1.1 How To Use This Manual

This manual explains the operation of the All Sport 4000 Series control console. For questions regarding the safety, installation, operation or service of this system, please refer to the telephone numbers listed on the cover page of this manual.

Important Safeguards:

1. Read and understand these instructions before installing.

2. Do not drop the control console or allow it to get wet.

3. Do not let any power cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a table which

would damage or cut the cord.

4. If an extension cord is necessary, use a three-pronged, polarized cord. Arrange the cord

with care so it is not tripped over or pulled out.

5. Always turn off and/or unplug the control equipment when not using it. Never yank the

power cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

6. To avoid electrical shock, do not disassemble the control equipment or the driver modules.

Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock, faulty operation, or permanent damage to the circuits.

1.2 Console Overview

The All Sport 4000 Series console is a state-of-the-art scoring and timing system. The console’s Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) will guide you through the operation of the system.

Model # Description

3. One Console Basketball Score/Player Foul Operation: Eliminates the need for two

consoles to control player foul panels and scoring. (Code 7: BB18’s, Code 8: BB18A, Code 17: BB17, Code 18: BB17A)

6. Test Codes: Added to help test the individual model of scoreboard, in both

manufacturing and field testing. Currently test codes are in place for a majority of standard Basketball, Hockey, Baseball and Football boards. This is a menu option in the standard code for the particular board being tested.

7. Time of Day: In earlier versions when running the time-of-day code, the time was

sent to more than one output. Time was displayed on other digits besides the normal clock digits on multiple driver boards. This has now been corrected by sending the time-of-day to output 1 only.

8. 1/10 Second Status: In previous versions, the 1/10 second prompt was not always

th th

displayed after resuming a game, depending on the position remote start/stop switch. This has now been corrected. Count up/down status is also now saved. In earlier versions this always defaulted to count down on power up.

Introduction

Section 2: Console Connectors

J1 & J2: Scoreboard outputs J3: Remote start/stop and the horn J4: Main output and input port J5: Shot clock or delay-of-game control S1: Power switch

There are two ways to connect signal, depending on the type of installation.

! One type of signal cable has a 25-pin connector on one end and a 16-pin circular plug on the

other. The 25-pin connector goes into J4 of the console, and the 16-pin plug goes into the scoreboard junction box (j-box).

! The second type has a / " headphone plug at both ends. One end goes into J1 or J2 of the

console, and the other end into the scoreboard j-box.

For more information concerning various types of installations, refer to Appendix A.

Section 3: Basic Operation

3.1 Console Overview

Reference Drawing: Keyboard Fixed Keys ...................... Drawing A-54698

The console face consists of a liquid crystal display (LCD), sport-specific insert, numeric keypad and additional keys. In most cases, the top line of the LCD shows game time, the direction the clock is counting, and whether the horn is set to automatic. The bottom line of the LCD generally shows HOME and GUEST score. Some baseball modes display BALL, STRIKE, and OUT data on the bottom line of the LCD.

Additional keys on the console include:

<CLEAR>: Clears the LCD of numerical information. Serves as [NO] for input prompts. <ENTER>: Completes an action. The asterisk is a reminder that this key is to be pressed when an asterisk appears on the LCD. Serves as [YES] for input prompts. <MENU>: Invokes sport-specific menu options (refer to Section 3.4 for additional information) <AUTO HORN! >: Turns the automatic horn on or off. If the horn is on, an H appears on the LCD <HORN>: Sounds the horn as long as this key is pressed <COUNT UP/DOWN!>: Sets the clock to count up or down. Press <ENTER> to toggle between count modes. UP is displayed on the LCD if the clock is counting up and DN if the clock is counting down. <SET MAIN CLOCK!>: Sets the time on the main clock <START>: Starts the main clock <STOP>: Stops the main clock

Refer to Drawing A-54698 in Appendix A for additional information.

3.2 Sport Inserts

Various inserts are available depending on the sport and the type of scoreboard. For safekeeping, store any unused inserts in the pocket available on the bottom of the console.

To remove a sport insert, pull on the tab that extends from the left side of the console. The insert will easily slide out. To insert a sport insert, slide it under the protective covering until it stops.

Note: On each tab is a number (ex. LL-2261). This number is used as part of the section headings in this manual. For example, the operation instructions for LL-2261 are under Section 5.1.

Each insert has a list of code numbers and scoreboard models. The code numbers configure the console to control the scoreboard specified by the model number. For example, code 40 enables the console to control a BA-3718 scoreboard. Code numbers also configure the console for a specific sport mode as shown on the sport insert. This enables the console to control the scoreboard as specified by keys on the insert. Codes are entered during startup. Refer to Section

3.5 for more information on starting up the console.

Basic Operation

3-1

Note: Daktronics recommends that a permanent marker is used to rewrite the code number on the insert. This is a precaution in case the model number is made illegible due to extensive use (that is, rubbed away, scratched, etc.).

3.3 Sport Insert Operation Concepts

A sport insert identifies the action keys required in the normal course of the insert’s specific sport. In most cases, pressing a key immediately changes the scoreboard. Sometimes additional keys must be pressed. Keys that require additional information are marked by a !. This additional information usually is a number followed by the <ENTER> key.

Keys with arrows (') activate an indicator (possession, bonus, etc.) on the scoreboard. The direction of the arrow selects the appropriate team (HOME or GUEST).

Some keys have a +1, +2 or +3. By pressing one of these keys once, the value of the corresponding field on the scoreboard (such as score or period) increments (increases) by the corresponding number on the key. A key with a -1 decrements (decreases) by one.

On most inserts, certain keys have been grouped together under the heading HOME or GUEST. These keys are team keys and work the same for both teams. They affect the statistics for that one team. Keys not under one of these headings are game keys. They are general keys for the progress of the game (such as period or quarter).

Other keys have been blocked together to emphasize that these keys work together.

Examples

Example 1: Change the HOME score from 3 to 4.

Key LCD

<SCORE +1> (Home) H. Score ••4

Example 2: Change the GUEST score from 21 to 12.

Key LCD

<SCORE !> (Guest) G. Score •21 1

2 <ENTER> G. Score •12

Note: The guest score can also changed by repeatedly pressing the <SCORE-1> key if it is available.

3.4 Menu Key

G. Score ••1 G. Score •12

The <MENU> key allows the user to select from a list of options specific for each sport. The up and down arrow keys allow the user to scroll through the menu list. All menu options require either yes or no. Pressing <YES> or <NO> will select the action and exit from the menu. Pressing any key other than <YES>, <NO> or the arrow keys will exit the menu function.

Basic Operation

3-2

Note: Not all prompts must be answered. The following menu functions may be available:

1. RESTART GAME Y/N

Yes - Restarts the present sport with default settings No - Exits menu

2. NEW CODE Y/N

Yes - Prompts Resume Game?, as if power to the console had interrupted (refer to

Section 3.5)

No - Exits menu
