PortaTree Pro-Ultimate (Gold Box) Firmware Version 2.07 - Manual (Page 6)

The AMT Scoreboards have 8 dip Switches inside the back cover of the display. The
first 3 dip switches are preset at the factory for the type of display and the 5 dip switches that
are left are for addresses 0 to 31. The address selection starts at dip switch 8 and goes down
to dip switch 4. When dip switch 8 is ON and 7,6,5,4 are OFF the display is set for address 1.
You can check this out be depowering the display and restarting it. On Power Up, the
scoreboard will show you the current address setting. Address 2 is set by turning dip switch 7
ON and turning 8,6,5,4 OFF. Address 3 is set by turning dip switch 8 & 7 ON with 6,5,4 OFF.
Address 4 is set by turning dip switch 6 ON and turning 8,7,5,4 OFF. This is a binary format
RS-485 PRINTERS – TIME SLIP PRINTER SETUP SCREEN
Click On Setup and then RS-485 Printers at the main screen in the drag race program
(see the screen on the following page). The Printer setup screen allows you to customize your
time slip message for your racetrack and select which lines you want to print. The Test Printer
button allows you to look at a sample time slip to make sure that the information is correctly
entered. It will print over the network on through the serial port on the Portatree Professional.
The Port on the Portatree Professional is your emergency backup printer if your scoreboard
network should fail. You must center each line of information and we usually use dashes “----“
before and after the information text lines so that they make the information easier to read for
the racer. See the time slip setup screen on the previous page. You can select 1 copy (if you
have duplicate time slip paper) or 2 copies (if you have single sheet paper or 2 printers).
