Setting the Driver Address

Since the same LED drivers can be used for many scoreboard models, each driver must be set
to receive the correct signal input, or address, for the model being used. The way the address
is set depends on the driver type:

For 16-column “Gyrus” drivers, addresses
are set through the S2 (L) and S3 (H)
rotary switches on the driver (Figure 21)
using a small flathead screwdriver.

For older 16-column drivers, addresses are set with
jumper wires in a 12-pin plug which mates with jack J19
on the driver (Figure 22).

It may be possible to reuse the same address plug from
the driver that was replaced. If not, first refer to the
table above to determine the correct address setting of
the driver(s) in a particular scoreboard model. Then see
Drawing A-115078 in Appendix C for a listing of the
wire/pin connections for driver addresses 1 – 128.


Multiple Drivers

Scoreboards with multiple drivers operate using a primary/secondary driver configuration.
If it appears as though only a certain group of digits on the scoreboard is not functioning,
there may be a problem with the slave driver(s) or the power/signal connection from the
other driver(s). Refer to Section 3.7 for more information about the connections between
scoreboard sections.

4.5 Radio Connections

To determine the settings for radio connections between the scoreboard and control console:

1. Power off any radio-equipped consoles in the area.
2. Cycle power to the scoreboard, and watch for the radio settings. These settings

appear in different locations based on the scoreboard layout:

When using the All Sport 5000 or OmniSport 2000 controllers, the scoreboard will
display “bX CY” where X is the Broadcast group number and Y is the Channel number.
The default is b1C1. The settings appear in the first four clock digits (Figure 14).

Note: If these settings do not appear, the radio receiver may need to be repaired/replaced.
