Scoreboard Troubleshooting

When troubleshooting driver problems, several LEDs provide diagnostic information.
The number of LEDs and their function depends on the driver type.
Note: While it is necessary to have the scoreboard powered on to check the LED indicators,
always disconnect scoreboard power before servicing.

Multiple Drivers
Scoreboards that require multiple drivers operate using a primary/secondary driver
configuration. The two drivers have been designed to simply plug into one another, and this
is done at the factory, so no additional on-site connection is necessary.
If it appears as though only a certain group of digits on the scoreboard is not functioning,
there may be a problem with the secondary driver(s) or the power/signal connection from
the other driver(s).
Note: The BB-2117 and BB-2119 require an interconnect cable between their driver
and the driver in the BB-2116. Refer to appropriate schematics listed in Appendix B.
