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 Time can be
controlled by one person while someone else operates the rest of the scoreboard with another control.

Standard Options

The options key can be used to access the following features. Each press of the options key moves you

Multiple Receivers and Controllers
Both multiple controllers and receivers can be on the same network.

Multiple Controllers

For example, one person with a controller can control Game Time and another person with a separate
controller can control Game Score of the same game on the same scoreboard. Multiple controllers can
be used for any combination of game data.

If a second controller is powered on after the first powered on controller has been initialized, then the

second controller will be configured with the same Scoreboard Model described in the “Setting the

Control for Your Model of Scoreboard” section.

Multiple Receivers

Multiple receivers can be used on the same network. One example could be separate scoreboards for
the same game or in the case of basketball one receiver controls the scoreboard while other receiver(s)
control the shot clock(s).

Replace batteries

Control in a poor
location

Make sure the control is in clear line of
sight of the scoreboard

Move closer to scoreboard

Control is linked to extra unwanted

Use the Options Menu to check the
receivers the control is linked to and
the receivers on its list.

No power to scoreboard

Check all switches, breakers, and fuses

Bad connection between Receiver and
scoreboard module

Check all cables and connections

Scoreboard/timer is ON but does not
respond to control

Control and receiver are not communicating

Turn control OFF, then ON to establish
communications

My control will not operate scoreboard
(Out of Range)

Poor connection with bad line of sight to
the scoreboard or distance is too great.

Return to a closer location with direct
line of sight and verify Signal Strength.
If that does not work then cycle power
to controller

same time and not all connected

Power cycle the controllers that are not
operating the scoreboard.

Scoreboard connected to MPCX2 is
displaying data in the wrong places,
incorrect data, or horn constantly sounds.

Control is not configured for correct
scoreboard model series

Reconfigure the control (see options

LED Status

MPCX2 Connection Status

Solid On

The receiver is powered on, but a connection attempt has not yet been made, or a connection
attempt was unsuccessful.

Blinking Fast
(multiple times a second)

The receiver is in the network and connected. The receiver may appear to not be blinking due to it
blinking very quickly. If the receiver is connected to Scorbitz through the Ethernet jack, then it
will blink more visibly.

Blinking Slow
(approximately once a second)

The receiver is not connected but connection attempts are being made. Each slow blink is a
connection attempt. If the receiver is intended for the network and it is flashing slowly but never
connects then verify that the receiver list in the MPCX2 control is correct.

Solid Off

The receiver is not powered on. It is also possible that the receiver is powered on but for some
reason the LED has been turned off. If this is suspected to be the case then cycle power to the
receiver and the LED should turn on after a brief delay.

LED STATUS

The receiver has a red status LED next to the RJ12 and Ethernet jack. It can be used to diagnose the status of the
MPCX2 receiver.

MPCX2 receiver status LED

RECEIVER IDENTIFICATION ON POWERUP

On powerup the receiver connected to the OCM will identify itself by flashing from the most significant 2
digit numbers to the least significant 2 digit numbers. For example, a receiver with ID 123456 will flash 12,
34, and then 56 on power up. This is used to distinguish which X2 receiver is connected to which OCM’s
without having to open up the scoreboard.
