2. The next step is to connect the serial data cable to the Command Console. After switching on the Console, the
screens should light up to display the proper information. If the screens do not light up, see paragraph 8.1.2.
3. Once you have checked that the data connection works properly, you can make a complete start-up test of all
display scoreboards. For this feature, see the instructions of the Command Console.
For incomplete display of panels, see chapter 8

This chapter contains information on how to quickly resolve the principal problems that may occur with the
scoreboard over time. For problems with the side scoreboards, consult the relative installation manual. If you have
further problems that cannot be solved herein, please contact us.
For all malfunctions, the following is a list of operations, ranked according to priority, that should be carried out to
re-establish the scoreboard’s proper functioning.
All maintenance, repair and checking operations on the scoreboard MUST be performed only by qualified
technicians.
8.1.
Malfunctions
8.1.1
The scoreboard does not light up when switched on
When the scoreboard is supplied with electricity, all the display panels light up for circa 1 second, even if the
Command Console is turned off or disconnected; if this does not occur, proceed as follows:
1. Check that there is power supply at the board’s power socket.
2. Make sure that the board’s power cable plug is properly inserted in the socket.
3. Have a qualified technician conduct the following operations:
a) de-install the board from the wall and place it on the floor;
b) disconnect the flat connection cables from the modules (see chapter 3.2), and then remove the power
supply unit from the back of the scoreboard; from inside the power supply unit identify the power supply
and the electronic connector board (
H
UB
6
X
3A
);
c) check that there is a cont24Vdc voltage output from the power supply (the red LED on the
H
UB
6
X
3A
connector board should be illuminated). If the +24Vdc voltage is not present then replace the
power supply, otherwise replace the
H
UB
6
X
3A
connector board.
8.1.2
The scoreboard lights up for 1 second but then switches off completely
1. Check that the serial cable is properly connected to the scoreboard and Command Console and that it shows
no signs of abrasions, cuts or damage.
2. Try using the other data output port of the Command Console.
3. Try using another Console if you have one.
4. Temporarily connect the scoreboard directly to the Console with a normal 8-way telephone cable with RJ-45
modular connectors, or with a standard straight-through network cable (EIA/TIA-568A/B); if the scoreboard
functions correctly, replace the permanent system’s serial data cable.
5. Have a qualified technician conduct the following operations:
a) de-install the board from the wall and place it on the floor;
b) connect the Console directly to the “SERIAL DATA INPUT” port with a serial cable that functions properly
(see chapter 3.3) and supply power to the scoreboard;
c) if the scoreboard still does not light up, disconnect the power supply and replace the electronic connector
board (
H
UB
6
X
3A
) located inside the power supply unit, otherwise replace the thin cable you previously
inserted in the "SERIAL DATA INPUT" port.
8.1.3
Part or all of a LED display board does not light up
1. Replace the display board (see chapter 8.2).
2. Change the connection cable between the display board and the control board.
3. Replace the control board (see chapter 8.3).
8.1.4
The board is not bright enough
1. Check the set level: for this feature, see the instructions of the Command Console.
8.1.5
An entire group of LED boards do not light up in one of the scoreboard’s modules
1. Replace the control board (see chapter 8.3).
