Most scoreboards will have an internal mounting bracket to which the radio receiver will be
attached. Refer to the component location drawings included in the scoreboard manual for
the radio mounting location. If a bracket was not factory-installed, refer to Drawing A-267405
for bracket installation instructions.

Drawing A-236394 shows the installation of an RC-100 base station for outdoor scoreboards.
For detailed RC-100 installation and setup instructions, including indoor scoreboards, refer to
the Remote Control System RC-100 All Sport Operation Manual (ED-15133), available
online at www.daktronics.com/manuals.
In certain situations, it is possible that both an All Sport® radio receiver and an RC-100 base
station will be installed in the same outdoor scoreboard. For instance, a handheld RC-100
may be used when running practices, and then a wireless All Sport console would control the
scoreboard during the game. In these cases, refer to Drawing A-1069855.
Note: The wireless device that takes precedence is the one that the scoreboard receiver
finds active first, and it will control the scoreboard until the signal is no longer present.

2.1 Radio Control Overview
The radio receiver units used in Daktronics scoreboards have a channel-setting switch that
can be set from 1 through 8 (channels 0, and 9-15 are not used). The receivers also have a
jumper that can be used to select a broadcast group from 1-4. 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.
There are four broadcast groups available. Each radio receiver will accept data sent from the
broadcast channel of its respective broadcast group (either 1, 2, 3, or 4), as well as data sent
from the “Master Broadcast” channel. This is selected when the console is set to Broadcast
Group 0 (BCAST 0) and Channel 0.
The radio settings in the console (transmitter) must match the settings in the scoreboard
(receiver). By default, both devices are set to Broadcast Group 1, Channel 01. The installation
drawings in Appendix A show the proper way to set the channel and broadcast group
numbers for the receiver. The operator must then enter these specific numbers when
prompted during console startup.
To determine the settings of a scoreboard
without accessing the receiver, first power it
down and shut off any radio-equipped
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 settings are typically displayed in the
clock digits (Figure 1) or Home and Guest
score digits (Figure 2), depending on the
scoreboard model.
The console automatically detects when a
radio transmitter is installed and will prompt
the user for transmitter settings after a valid
sport code is entered.
2.2 Typical Radio Configurations
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. Each of these configurations is described in detail in
the following sections.

In a single controller system (Figure 3), 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. An example of this type of system is a football field with
a scoreboard in one or both end zones displaying the same information.
Typically all single controller systems will use the default setting BCAST = 1, CHAN = 1.
All jumpers in the radio receivers must be set to Broadcast 1 (BCAST 1).

In a multiple controller system with a single broadcast group (Figure 4), 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. An example of this type of system is a
softball complex with individual scoreboards on several different fields.

Multiple Controller with Multiple Broadcast Groups
In a multiple controller system with multiple broadcast groups (Figure 5), there are many
consoles that control multiple scoreboards and/or scoreboard groups. The radio receiver inside
the scoreboard is set to broadcast group 1, 2, 3, or 4. By changing the console settings to the
specific broadcast group address, a single console can control all scoreboards or specific groups
of scoreboards. 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 Drawing A-202943 as an example.
Typically all multiple controller systems will use Broadcast Group 1 Channel 1 for the first

be pre-approved by Daktronics before shipment. Daktronics shall not be obligated to pay freight for any unapproved return.
Purchaser shall pay any upgraded or expedited transportation charges.
D. Any replacement parts or Equipment will be new or serviceably used, comparable in function and performance to the
original part or Equipment, and warranted for the remainder of the Warranty Period. Purchasing additional parts or Equipment
from the Seller does not extend this Warranty Period.
E. Defects shall be defined as follows. With regard to the Equipment (excepting LEDs), a “Defect” shall refer to a material
variance from the design specifications that prohibit the Equipment from operating for its intended use. With respect to LEDs,
“Defects” are defined as LED pixels that cease to emit light. The limited warranty provided by Daktronics does not impose any
duty or liability upon Daktronics for partial LED pixel degradation. Nor does the limited warranty provide for the replacement or
installation of communication methods including but not limited to, wire, fiber optic cable, conduit, trenching, or for the purpose
of overcoming local site interference radio equipment substitutions.

It is specifically agreed that the price of the Equipment is based upon the following limitation of liability. In no event shall
Daktronics (including its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or agents) be liable for any special, con sequential,
incidental or exemplary damages arising out of or in any way connected with the Equipment or otherwise, including but not
