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.
