1.2 Introduction

This section explains the operation of the All Sport 5100 Auto Racing Control Console, which is part of the Daktronics All Sport 5000 Series family of display controllers.

Important Safeguards

1. Read and understand these instructions before installing your console.

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

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

or other surface where they might be damaged or cut.

4. If an extension cord is necessary, use a three-prong, polarized cord.

Arrange the cord with care so that event personnel or spectators cannot trip over it or pull it out.

All Sport 5100 Operation 1-1

Always turn off and/or unplug the control equipment when it is not in use. Never yank a power cord to pull a plug from an outlet. To disconnect, grasp the plug firmly and pull.

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

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

1.3 Console Overview

The All Sport 5100 Auto Racing Controller is a state-of-the-art scoring and timing system.

The anodized aluminum console features a sealed, "snap-action" keyboard with changeable keyboard inserts to input race information and/or control the scoreboards. A 32-character, two-line liquid crystal display (LCD) prompts the user through the operation of the controller and provides vital feedback of race data.

The console operates on 120 V AC power (60 Hz, 6 watts maximum), and an internal battery backup assures that the event will be timed even if there is a power failure in the arena. (The console's auto-memory feature stores current event information in case of power failure, even without a battery.)

The LCD screen of the 5100 is backlit to provide optimum viewing of current event information, even in low-light areas, and an audible beep sounds to indicate when a command has been received.

Operation of the All Sport 5100 is simple. The user enters a four-digit code on power-up to indicate the operating mode for the race. Basic choices include Manual mode, which uses infrared photocells for timing, or Automatic mode, with AMB transponders for timing. The type of information that can be displayed is determined by the capabilities of the scoreboard. The All Sport can be used with numeric (digitonly) scoreboards, full matrix displays with alphanumeric character capabilities, or a combination of both.

The controller features timing settings from 1/10th to 1/100th of a second, and photocell timing permits selectable timing to 1/1000th of a second.

The console case is approximately 16.25" (413mm) long by 9" deep (229mm). Its maximum top height is 4.25" (114mm). The controller weighs 7.5 pounds.

As a safety feature, this product has a three-wire, ground-type plug equipped with a third (grounding) pin. This plug only fits into a grounding-type power outlet. (If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.) Refer to the table on the following page for specific model descriptions.

In addition, Quick Start References for keyboard operation are provided in

Appendix H.

ENTER>. All of the keys pertaining to a specific sport code

1.6 Sport Inserts

Sport inserts, sometimes called keypad inserts, are used to allow a single console to control multiple sports or different applications of the same sport. Select the proper insert from the chart in Section 1.7, and slide it into the insert opening on the left side of the console until it stops. To remove a sport insert, pull on the tab that extends from the left side of the console. The insert will slide out easily.

If an insert is lost or damaged, a copy of the insert drawing in Appendix A can be used until a replacement can be ordered.

All Sport 5100 Operation 1-3

Use the labels provided in Appendix G to attach the correct code number to each sport insert. Write the code number in the space provided in each section of this manual.

If you do not know the code number for your scoreboard, refer to Appendix I. If you do not know the model number of your scoreboard, refer to the installation and maintenance manual provided with the display.

1.7 Racing Insert Operation

A keypad insert identifies the action keys required in the normal course of a race or other sporting event. Each insert has a corresponding list of code numbers and display models. The code numbers configure the console to control the display specified by the model number. For example, Code 301 enables the console to control a CH-2001 display.

Code numbers also configure the console for a specific sport mode as shown on the sport insert. This enables the console to control the display as specified by the keys on the insert. The following table lists the codes available:

Refer to Appendix A for the Reference Drawings listed here.

The radio receiver units used in the scoreboards have a channel setting switch that can be set from 1 to 8 (channels 0, and 9-15 are not used.) A radio receiver will accept data from a console transmitter with the same channel (and broadcast group) setting.

The receivers also have a jumper that can be used to select broadcast group 1 or broadcast group 2. A “Broadcast Group” defines a group of radio receivers that in addition to “listening” to the channel selected on the channel switch will also “listen” for data broadcast on their broadcast channel. There are a total of two broadcast groups available.

Each radio receiver will accept data sent from the broadcast channel of its respective broadcast group. This is selected by setting the transmitter (console) radio to channel 0. Every radio receiver will also accept data sent from the “Master Broadcast” channel. This is selected when a transmitter (console) radio is set to Broadcast Group 0 (BCAST 0) and Channel 0.

The channel number and broadcast group set on the radio installed in each scoreboard can be verified by cycling power to the scoreboard. Approximately seven seconds after power up, the scoreboard will show the current channel in the scoreboard clock digits. A CXX will first be shown where XX is the current radio channel number. This will be followed by BXCY where X is the current broadcast group and Y is the current channel number within this broadcast group.

There are three different radio scenarios that can be accommodated.

1. Single Controller System:

In a Single Controller system, all radio receivers and all scoreboards receive signal from the same All Sport console at all times. The default channel and broadcast group settings on the receiver are not typically modified. An example of this type of system is a typical high school football installation.

2. Multiple Controller System With a Single Broadcast Group:

In a Multiple Controller system with a single broadcast group, there are additional All Sport Controllers for controlling multiple scoreboards.

All Sport 5100 Operation 1-7

There is never a scenario where groups of scoreboards that were run by individual controllers need to be run by a single controller. An example of this type of system is a softball complex with multiple fields and a scoreboard on each field.

3. Multiple Controller with Multiple Broadcast Groups:

In a Multiple Controller with Multiple Broadcast (Split Court Operation) system, there are additional All Sport Controllers that can control multiple scoreboards. The broadcast group jumper is used to select broadcast group 1 or 2. By changing All Sport settings to a Broadcast address, a single All Sport Controller can control all scoreboards or specific groups of scoreboards (defined by the broadcast group.) One example of this scenario is split court operation in Basketball installations, where scoreboards are used to score multiple games at once, but can be grouped together to show one game if necessary. Refer to drawings listed on the previous page for more information.

The All Sport Console will automatically detect when a radio transmitter is installed and will prompt the user for transmitter settings.

The All Sport Console will show the current transmitter radio status on the LCD when a code is entered. An overview of radio settings is shown below.

Reference Drawings:

AS 5100 Photocell Interface 25Pin PCB J-Box PinoutDrawing A-143444

AS 5100 Photocell Interface J-Box Wiring.................. Drawing A-143453

Photocell connections to the console are made using the AS5100 Photocell Timing Interface (0A-1196-0058).

For most permanent installations, an external junction box will provide all photocell and scoreboard connections. Simply connect the 25-pin jack labeled "To J-Box" to the 25-pin connector on the J-box. Refer to Drawings A-143444 and A-143453 for detailed information regarding J-box wiring. For electrical isolation protection, disconnect this 25-pin cable after each racing event.

A common start input is available on jacks J44 (photocell XLR) and J42 (banana plug switch input). This input is used in multiple-lane track timing only. Refer to the Section 5 for additional information on multiple-lane track timing.

Photocell Inputs

Use the XLR connectors on the rear plate of the photocell interface when there are no J-box connections at the track, or for a portable installation. Plug the individual lane start and stop photocells into the rear panel XLR connectors as labeled. Any of the Lane 1 or Lane 2 photocell inputs may be used with the oval track photocell timing code (Code 300).

Switch Outputs

Connect the photocell interface to the All Sport 5100 console via a 15-pin cable (W-1264). Attach this cable to the connector labeled "To A/S 5100" on the rear panel of the photocell timing interface and J8 on the All Sport 5100.

Power Connections

A 120 V line connection powers the photocell interface. An internal 12 V battery is included for backup purposes only. If battery operation becomes necessary for portable operation or in an emergency, press the button labeled "Bat Op" while turning the power switch "ON."

The green LED on the front face of the enclosure indicates power to the photocell interface. The red LED indicates that the internal battery is being charged.

Refer to the information in Sections 1.5 – 1.8 to start the console and to use the sport insert. Read the material carefully to fully understand the following operating instructions.

Figure 7: 0G-143770

If an insert is lost or damaged, a copy of the insert drawing in Appendix A can be used until a replacement can be ordered.

Use the labels provided in Appendix G to attach the correct code number label at the appropriate location on the sport insert. Write the code number in the boxes below:

Sport Insert Code (Codes 310, 311, and 320 are for the All Sport 5100 console only)

5.1 Timer Information

Water Slide Timer Information

(Code 320) will run the timer as four independent timers for a water slide setup. Each timer requires a separate start and stop photocell input. Each timer operates independently of the others and will run automatically with no o perator needed at the controller.

Lane Timing/Water Slide 5-1 Timing Operation

Lane Timing Information

Codes 310 and 311 will run the timer as four lane timers that can have a common start input or individual lane start inputs. All lanes require their own photocell stop inputs. The common start setup would be used for a "first to finish" race where there is a manual common start. The individual start inputs would be used where a "best time" for the track determines the winner. Code 310 is for lane-order scoreboards, and Code 311 is for place-order scoreboards.

5.2 Timing Key

Start Timer

<START TIMER 1>, <START TIMER 2>, <START TIMER 3> and <START TIMER

> keys start their respective timers. These keys can be used with or instead of photocell start inputs to start the timer for each lane. These keys would typically be used only for testing the timer operation.

K Note: If the operator presses a <START TIMER> key after the timer is stopped,

the timer will be reset to 0:00 before restarting.

Stop timer

<STOP TIMER 1>, <STOP TIMER 2>, <STOP TIMER 3> and <STOP TIMER 4> keys stop their respective timers. These keys can be used with or instead of photocell stop inputs to stop the timer for each lane. These keys would typically be used only for testing the timer operation.

Toggle Lane View on LCD

Pressing this key will change the lanes shown on the LCD from 1 and 2; to 3 and 4, or vice-versa. The LCD shows the lane number, time and photocell status, and the arming delay for the lane will show at the end of each line of the LCD.

The console has built in test functions for the data input and the scoreboard output. These tests will help isolate system problems and verify proper operation.

To test the scoreboard output, press the < keys. When pressed, these keys will put the specified pattern on the scoreboard.

To test the data input, use the <

164750. Pins 2 and 3 of J6 on the All Sport 5100 console will need to have an electrical connection made between them. To make this connection, place a bent paper clip or a similar wire from pin 2 to pin 3 of J6. When this is done, pressing any of the loopback keys will send that data out on pin 3 of J6 on the console. The data should show up on the scoreboard. If this test works, then the data input on the console is functional.

8.1 Getting Started

Reference Drawing:

AMB Interface Cables..................................................Drawing B-123256

Drawing B-123256 illustrates typical All Sport cabling and connections for AMB applications.

Follow these steps in sequence to get started:

1. Turn on the All Sport 5000 series console.

2. Enter the correct code based on the Daktronics display.

3. Set the All Sport console to the correct mode by turning Race mode

on or off.

4. If the transponder software is already started, update the console using the

Refresh option. (Refer to Transponder Software Information in the

following section.)

Between races:

1. Restart the All Sport 5000 series console using the <

option. This will blank the scoreboard.

2. Refresh the All Sport with race data using the methods listed under

Transponder Software Information in Section 6.2 below.

MENU/NEW RACE>

8.2 Transponder Software Information

Transponder interface codes are used to interface to transponder software such as RentiX or ChronX For a detailed description of Daktronics racing protocol, refer to ED-11009. The information listed below details the software- specific settings that can be used to configure the transponder software for connection to the All Sport 5100.

RentiX Settings

Use the Settings/Display/Communications menu to select the communications port used to connect to the All Sport 5100. The RS-232 port settings are as follows: 9600 Baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.

Use the Settings/Display/Miscellaneous menu to select the Daktronics scoreboard protocol. Select both Daktronics Racing and Daktronics Practice. Set the number of Score Lines to the maximum number of competitors.

(version 2.0 or later), which provide Daktronics racing protocol.

K Note: To refresh the console and scoreboards, select Display/Refresh. The

Refresh command can be used when the console mode is changed (Qualify or Race) or when the All Sport 5100 is initially connected to the computer.

Getting Started/Troubleshooting 8-1 AMB Timing Software Interface

ChronX Settings

Use the Options/Communication Settings/Scoreboard menu to select the communications port used to connect to the All Sport 5100. The RS-232 port settings are as follows: 9600 Baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.

Use the Options/Communication Settings/Scoreboard/Daktronics Feed tab to select Daktronics racing protocol. Select both Qualifying Results and Race Results. The Number of Lines should be the number of competitors in the race.

K Note: These settings must be reapplied each time the software is restarted.

To refresh the console and scoreboards, select Scoreboard/Refresh. The Refresh command can be used when the console mode is changed (Qualify or Race) or when the All Sport 5100 is initially connected to the computer.

For ChronX Release 2.0.5 or earlier, in order to display driver information on a matrix, the competitor registration number must be the same as the car number (or not specified.) This is an issue that will be corrected in later ChronX versions.
