This menu option reports the number of receivers the control is 
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 4.

 

Enter the “Code” with the buttons in the sequence 

 

Step 5.

 

Continue pressing the               button until the display reads 

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.
