Daktronics MS-2013 Portable LED Scoreboard - Manual (Page 14)

8 Electrical Operation
The ON/OFF control switch (Figure 5) activates power to the internal scoreboard
components, as well as to the radio receiver or control console.
 Turn the switch to ON for scoreboard operation.
 At all other times, keep the switch in the OFF position.
Whether or not the scoreboard is operational, its batteries will continue to discharge any time
the switch is in the ON position. Leaving the switch ON when the unit is not in use could
completely discharge and damage the batteries.
Refer to Drawing A-159887 in Appendix A for component locations and illustrations of
internal and external wiring. Drawing B-158030 provides a detailed wiring schematic of
internal scoreboard components for advanced troubleshooting.
Daktronics recommends that the scoreboard remains plugged in to a 120 VAC power source
during storage. Battery life is enhanced by keeping the batteries fully charged. Typically,
batteries will be fully charged in about 12 hours and will give about 14 hours performance on
a full charge.

The MS-2013 can receive control signal three different ways, described below. Refer also to
Drawing A-160237 in Appendix A for diagrams of each of these control setups.
 Setup 1 (Standard): A wireless RC-100 handheld controller communicates with a
radio base station installed inside the scoreboard.
 Setup 2 (Optional): A 4-pin cable connects the scoreboard directly to the All Sport.
The cable transmits signal output to the scoreboard and power input to the controller.
 Setup 3 (Optional): A control console equipped with radio transmitter and its own
battery pack or a separate power cord communicates with a radio receiver installed
inside the scoreboard.
Connecting Signal Cable
If the scoreboard was ordered with a wired control console, simply plug the signal cable into
the jack labeled CONTROL CONSOLE CONNECT (Figure 5) Attach the mating plug to the
modified power cord from the All Sport controller. Extension cables are also available from
Daktronics if more than the 100' (30.5 m) of control cable provided is needed.
