Several option settings are available to fine tune the scoreboard system to your needs. These
settings are saved in the control. They are remembered even if the control is turned OFF or the
batteries removed. When a control turns ON the scoreboard, these settings are sent to the
scoreboard and are used to define how it operates. This allows each coach or group to have their
own control with its unique option choices, thus eliminating the need to set up the options every
time the scoreboard is used. For example, Brightness (Baseball – day time) (Soccer – night time).
It is also possible to use more than one control to operate the scoreboard. For instance, the Balls,
Strikes, and Outs can be controlled by one person while someone else operates the rest of the
scoreboard with another control.

Security
(+)On (-)Off
The Security setting is used to allow multiple controls to
simultaneously operate the scoreboard.
With the Security set to (+)ON, the scoreboard will
ignore all other controls and can be operated only by the
control that turned it ON. When this control is turned
OFF another control can be used to turn the scoreboard
ON. Should the batteries go dead or the 1st control leave
the area – Power must be cycled to the scoreboard to
allow another control to operate the scoreboard.
If the Security is set to (-)OFF, multiple controls can be
used to operate the same scoreboard or scoreboard
system. This allows one person to operate part of the
scoreboard, such as the clock, while someone else
operates the rest of the scoreboard with another control.
Allow each control to establish communications with its
receiver(s) (Greeting screen disappears) before powering
ON the next control.
Note: Set the Security of ALL controls used in a multicontrol system to (-)OFF.
Note: When using a pitch count display with a baseball
scoreboard the baseball control must be turned on first.
The clear function on the baseball control will clear both
displays.
Note: All controls need to be configured for the
appropriate scoreboard model group and linked to the
same receiver(s).
Note: The control display will only update when keys
are pressed.
Note: Make sure all controls of a multi-control
scoreboard system are powered OFF before starting the
system. Power ON the system receivers, then, power
ON the control that will determine the scoreboard
attributes (Brightness Level etc.). Next; power ON the
remaining controls. Please allow time for each control to
complete its powering ON process (main screen appears)
before turning ON another control.

currently linked to (0/0), and the number of receivers on its

“Link To” list (0/0). The option also allows you to link a control
to a scoreboard (receiver) or group of scoreboards (receivers).
This link procedure is required only at the time of installation,
when additional controls are added to an existing system, a
change to the system configuration is needed, or a control or
receiver has been repaired or replaced.
An MPCX control can operate up to eight scoreboards
(receivers) in a dual type configuration. (All scoreboards must
be in the same model series).
Procedure to mate a control and receiver(s)
Step 1. Insert the batteries included with the MPCX control or turn the control ON by pressing
Step 2. Power up one to eight receivers using the 9V wall plug-in power supply provided with
the receiver. Because all receivers powered up and within range of this control will be
linked to this control with this procedure, power down all receivers not to be mated with
new control.
Step 3. Press the button until the display reads

Step 5. Continue pressing the button until the display reads

Link Control 0/0
Press (+)
Step 6. Press the button. The control will link to all receivers in range.
Step 7. This process could take as long as 3 minutes. The control will automatically reset when
linking is complete and each scoreboard connected to a “linked” receiver will light.
Repeat steps 3 – 5 in the “Re-Mating” procedure below to ensure the correct number of
receivers are linked indicated by 0/0 on the “Link Control screen”. The 0/0 on this screen
indicates how many receivers are found / how many receivers are linked.
If more receivers than intended are linked to the control, then power down any MPCX
receivers in the area that are within 2000’ and repeat the process. If you cannot find these
receivers, or they are located on an adjacent property, you may have to perform this
process in another location.
This process creates a list of receivers in the control. The control can only communicate
with receivers on this list. The list remains intact even if the batteries are removed from
the control. During normal operation (with any or all receivers ON), when you turn the
control on, it searches for receivers on its list and the scoreboard(s) will light.
Note: During normal operation, the receiver should always be powered ON before the control.
In a multi-control system, the controls must be powered ON and allowed to find the receiver one
at a time. Wait about 30 seconds between powering-up controls.
