Radio Settings
If a radio receiver is installed (see Section 5.2),
the radio Broadcast settings (“b1”) and Channel
settings (“C1”) will be displayed in the clock
digits during the POST. These values must match
the settings in the control console (refer to Figure
8 and the manual listed in Section 1.1).
3.5 Main Signal Connection
Signal installation (for systems without radio control) requires routing control cable from
the scoreboard control console to a signal junction box (J-box) near the display. Refer to
Drawings A-28124 and A-125316 in Appendix B for signal wire connection.
Note: For message center signal installation, including for BB-2146/3146 and
BB-2147/3147 models, refer to the message center manual.
1. At a minimum, use a paired, 22 AWG shielded cable (Daktronics part # W-1077) and
connect the cable to a dual

" J-box at the control console end.
Using a dual J-box for separate Main and Auxiliary scoreboards lets operators control
several displays with one controller, and they can also switch jacks to control
individual boards using multiple controllers.
2. Install a J-box near the scoreboard location. Try to mount it so that the signal cable is
easily accessible to plug in and hidden from view, such as centered above the display.
3. Route signal cable from the J-box on the control console end to the J-box at the
display end.
4. Install the

" phone plug (Daktronics part # 0L-40683) to the display end of the
cable. Be sure to connect the cable shielding only in the J-box on this end.
5. Insert the plug into the J31 - SIGNAL IN jack located on the top of the scoreboard
section closest to the J-box.
6. Connect a signal cable from the J-box on the control console end to the J1, J2, or J3
jack on the back of the All Sport 5000/5500 console.
7. If using a Main Clock Start/Stop Switch (Daktronics part # 0A-1166-0003), connect it
to the J4 jack on the All Sport 5000/5500 console.
