Radio Control Overview
The radio receiver units used in Daktronics scoreboards have a channel (CHAN) switch
that can be set from 1–8. The receivers also have a broadcast group (BCAST) switch that
can be set from 1–8. The broadcast group defines a group of radio receivers that “listen”
to the channel selected on the channel switch as well as “listen” for data sent out on
their broadcast channel.
Note: Gen VI units sold internationally (Europe/Asia) only have broadcast groups 1–4.
Each radio receiver will accept data sent
from the broadcast channel of its respective
broadcast group (either 1–8), as well as data
sent from the “Master Broadcast” channel.
This is selected when the console is set to
BCAST 0 and CHAN 00.
The radio settings in the console (transmitter)
must match the settings in the scoreboard
(receiver). By default, both devices are set to
BCAST 1 , CHAN 01 . The installation drawings
in Appendix A show the proper way to set
the channel and broadcast group numbers
for the receiver. The operator must then enter
these specific numbers when prompted
during console startup.
To determine the settings of a scoreboard without accessing the receiver, first power it
down and shut off any radio-equipped consoles in the area. Next, power the scoreboard
back up and watch for the radio settings. The settings will appear as “ bX CY ” where X is
the current broadcast group and Y is the current channel.
The settings are typically displayed in the clock digits or Home and Guest score digits,
depending on the scoreboard model. Refer to Figure 1 .
The console automatically detects when a radio transmitter is installed and will prompt
for the transmitter settings after a valid sport code is entered.
