Microprocessor based scoreboards is specifically designed for this system. Use of

a substitute cable may void the warranty on the scoreboard!

2.2 Inspection

Inspect each unit and tighten all screws, lamps, and fittings that may have loosened

2.3 Installation

Select the location best suited for visibility by the majority of spectators. Preferred

position is facing east or north to avoid direct sunlight on the face of the scoreboard,

if day games are played.

The MP-40 data cable carries only low voltage signals and therefore can be installed

with or without conduit. Consult section 6 for junction box and scoreboard wiring.

This scoreboard is equipped with a Power Supply and Controller Assembly, That

must be connected to a 120 VAC 2 Wire with Ground power source. With all LED's

lighted, the scoreboard uses 2,700 Watts.

To protect the MP-5000 control from damage, it is advisable to disconnect the

control and store in a dry secure area when not in use.

NOTE

This equipment is UL and NRTL approved and complies with the requirements in

4. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

4.1 Introduction

This section gives maintenance and troubleshooting information. Included are

troubleshooting guides for typical scoreboard malfunctions. If the cause of a

problem cannot be determined, please contact the Customer Service Department.

A simple analog or digital voltmeter will be sufficient for all user repairable

problems. Printed circuit boards requiring troubleshooting should be returned to the

factory.

4.3 Troubleshooting

Whenever possible, follow the troubleshooting guides prior to contacting the

Customer Service Department. If a problem not described in the guides exists,

contact the customer service department immediately. Read through the appropriate

troubleshooting section before beginning a repair. Refer to the diagrams in chapter 6

as an aid in troubleshooting scoreboard malfunctions.

(A) Scoreboard doesn't light and console doesn't work:

(a) Check that the main power switch is turned on and providing power to the

scoreboard.

(b) Check to see that the green Led is lit on each power supply.

(c) Check for 24 VDC at the power supply terminals.

(d) Check the 110 VAC power connections and voltages at the scoreboard.

8

(e) Replace any defective or blown fuses.

(f) Check for 12 to 16 VDC on the red and black wires at the data cable terminal

block.

(g) Contact the Customer Service Department.

(B) Scoreboard digits don't light, but the console works:

(a) With the main power switch "off"; remove the cover over the controller

assembly.

(c) Turn the main power "on".

(d) If the scoreboard still doesn't light, check the items in section (A), power

supply voltage and fuses.

(e) Check if LED D1 on the receiver board is lit. If not, check that the receiver

board is plugged into the power supply board, then contact the customer service

department.

(f) Check to see that the LED on the first driver board (closest to receiver) is

flashing. If not, check the data cable connections (orange and grey wires) from

the receiver to the drivers, and check to be sure that the power connection to

the driver board is OK.

(g) If the driver board LED is still not flashing, connect a different driver board to

the receiver (first in line). If the LED is now flashing, the first driver board

should be replaced. Otherwise the problem is on the receiver board.

(C) The scoreboard digits light but the console doesn't work.

(a) For a cable connected system, check for 12 to 16 VDC between the red and

black wires in the junction box . For wireless consoles, check the output of the

wall transformer by unplugging it from the console, putting the + meter lead

into the center cavity of the power plug and touching the meter lead to the metal

shell. The reading should be at least 10 VDC.

(b) If the voltage is 10 V or more, turn on and code in the console, even though it

may not appear to be working. Listen for beep sounds when pressing the keys,

and see if the scoreboard responds at all. If the scoreboard is radio controlled,

go to section D, step c. Otherwise contact customer service with results or see

Advanced Troubleshooting, section C.

(c) If the voltage from step a is zero, measure the voltage on the red and black

wires at the terminal block inside the scoreboard. If the voltage is still zero, go

to section A, step c. Otherwise check the cable to the junction box for

continuity.

(d) Refer to advanced troubleshooting, section B to connect the console directly to

9

(D) The scoreboard digits light, the console works, but there is no control of the

scoreboard.

(a) If the scoreboard is a cabled system, check for 1 to 4 volts AC on the green and

white wires at the junction box (console on and coded in). Then go to step f.

(b) With wireless consoles, be sure that the battery (if so equipped) is fully

charged, or better still, use the wall transformer to power the console.

(c) Check the LED on the radio adapter board inside the scoreboard. If it is lit,

turn the console off. This LED should go out about 5 seconds later. Turning the

console on again should relight the LED.

(d) Bring the console within 10 to 25 feet of the scoreboard and test again. If the

radio adapter LED now works, check and tighten antenna connections as

necessary, both in the scoreboard and in the console. CAUTION: the antenna

connection at the radio can be easily broken. Push or pull the connector

STRAIGHT on or off!

(e) Check to see if D1 is lit. If not, check that the receiver board is plugged into

the power supply board, then contact the customer service department.

(f) With the console turned on and coded in, check to see that LED D2 on the

receiver board is flashing. If not, refer to Advanced Troubleshooting for

instructions on connecting the console directly to the scoreboard or contact service.

(g) Starting with the driver board closest to the receiver, check to see that the LED

on each driver board is flashing. If not, check the data cable connections

(orange and grey wires) from the receiver to the drivers, and check to be sure

that the power connection to the driver board is OK.

(E) The scoreboard works, but some lights stay on all the time

(a) With the main power "OFF", disconnect (and tag) the suspect digit from the

driver board. Plug a known good digit into that position on the driver card. Do

Not Plug the Suspect Digit into any other location!

(b) Turn the power back on. If the good digit shows the same problem as the

original digit, there is a problem on the driver PCB assembly. See the

replacement parts list for the proper replacement part or refer to Advanced

troubleshooting, section A to swap another driver board into that position.

There may also be a problem with the digit or its cabling, continue with step c.

(c) Check the digit and cable assembly for shorts to the scoreboard frame and to

the + and - power leads.

(d) Plug the suspected bad digit into another output position. USE the SAME driver

board (A bad digit may be the cause of a driver board failure). If the same

lights remain on, replace the digit and driver board.

(F) The scoreboard works, but some lights do not come on.

(a) If only part of a digit works, e.g. a 0 looks like a U, go to step f.

(b) If one or more of the digits are completely blank, check the LED on the

corresponding driver board.

10

(c) If the LED is blinking, check the power connection at the opposite end of the

board for 24 VDC. If not, check the power and data cable connections on the

(d) Plug the blank digit into a known good driver board position. If it is still blank,

check for broken wires or bad connections in the digit cable. Replace the digit

if the cabling is OK.

(e) If the digit now works, see the replacement parts list for the proper replacement

driver board or refer to Advanced troubleshooting, section A to swap another

driver board into that position.

(f) Disconnect the suspect digit and plug a known good digit into that driver

location.

(g) If the good digit shows the same problem, see the replacement parts list for the

proper replacement driver board or refer to Advanced troubleshooting, section

A to swap another driver board into that position.

(h) If the good digit is working, check for a broken wire or bad connection on the

(i) Contact customer service for the proper replacement digit.

4.5 Advanced Troubleshooting

In emergency situations (Tournament begins in an hour), the following steps may

help to make the scoreboard usable in a temporary fashion. These procedures are

best performed by someone who has experience working on electronic equipment. If

possible, consult with customer service before proceeding.

(A) All of the driver boards in a 7000 series scoreboard are interchangeable.

However, each board has an address programmed inside its microcontroller chip.

The chip from the board being replaced must be put into the new board for proper

operation. Example: The scoring driver of a football board has a problem. The

Ball On/Yards To Go driver can be used in its place. (Ball on and yards to go

will not be usable until a new driver board is received from the factory).

(a) Remove power from the scoreboard.

(b) Take the bad driver board out and set it aside. Put the replacement driver in

position.

(c) Remove the processor chip from the new driver.

(d) Carefully take the processor chip out of the old driver board and install it in the

replacement board. Be sure the notched end of the chip is aligned correctly.

(e) Put the processor chip from the new board into the defective driver board so it

(f) Reconnect power, data, and the display cables to the new driver board.

11

(B) Direct connection of consoles to scoreboards can be done to ensure that the

electronics is working properly. For radio controlled systems, skip to step h.

(a) For a hardwired system, the cover of the junction box with the connector and

wire pigtail can be used. Open the junction box and disconnect the connector

wires at the terminal block.

(b) Take the cover plate/connector assembly up to the scoreboard. Attach the red

and black wires to the matching positions on the terminal block. Disconnect the

red and black data cable wires (that go to the junction box).

(c) Attach the green and white wires from the cover plate connector to the

terminals on the lightning protector board where the same colored wires connect

to the receiver board.

(d) Disconnect the data cable (to the junction box) green and white wires from the

lightning protector board. Mark the board so that the wires can be put back on

(e) Test the system. If it works, move the green and white wires from the cover

plate connector to the other two terminals on the lightning protect

board.

(f) Test again. If the scoreboard works, there is a problem in the data cable

somewhere between the scoreboard and the junction box. If not, the lightning

protector board must be replaced.

(g) The data cable can be checked by re-installing the junction box cover plate and

connecting both green wires to one of the green wire terminals on the lightning

board, and doing the same with the white wires. While the scoreboard will

operate with the lightning protect board bypassed in this fashion, it should be

fixed as soon as possible, since the board also protects the electronics in the

scoreboard from other sources of potentially damaging interference.

(h) Radio controlled consoles may be connected directly to the scoreboard through

the 12 pin radio connectors. Remove the radios and interface

boards.

(i) Using 22 gauge solid wire, connect pin 10 of the console connector to pin 10 of

the scoreboard receiver board connector. Also connect pin 2 of the console

connector to pin 6 on the receiver board connector.

(j) Powering the console from the battery or wall cube, the system should operate.

This eliminates any radio related communication problems.

NOTE

as short as possible (10 ft. max), since there is no protection on these lines and

damage to the scoreboard or console could result from static or other outside

sources.

12

(a) Power is OK, but console does not turn on: check that the keypad connector is

plugged into the main board in the console.

(b) Console beeps, but has no display: check the ribbon cable between the main

console board and the display module.

(c) Erratic operation, abnormal display: check the socketed IC chips to be sure that

they are well seated.
