8 Electrical Installation
3.3 Signal
The green and red lights on a goal light unit receive signal from different control devices.
Green Light Control
Control for the green timer light comes from the same All Sport console used for the
scoreboard(s). Cable specifications and part numbers are listed on Drawing A-244179. Refer
also to Drawing A-276200, which shows how the goal lights and scoreboard may be set up
around the rink. A typical installation involves the following steps:
1. Install a 1 /
4
" phone jack junction box near the location of the All Sport controller.
The same J-box for scoreboard control may be used for goal lights; the signal wires
for scoreboard and goal lights are wired in parallel and connected to the same jack.
Note: An optional signal hookup using a 25-pin junction box is also shown on
Drawing A-244179.
2. Run a male-to-male 1 /
4
" phone signal cord from the J1 jack on the All Sport to the
phone jack J-box. This may already be in place for scoreboard control.
3. From the J-box near the control console, run separate signal cables to each 1 /
4
" phone
J-boxes installed near the goal lights. The cables should be shielded, 2-pair, 22 AWG.
4. From the 1 /
4
" phone jack J-boxes near the goal lights, run male-to-male 1 /
4
" phone
signal cable to the J1 jack on each goal light.
Radio Communication
Instead of installing multiple J-boxes and running signal cable throughout the facility, a remote
radio receiver kit can be installed for the goal lights to listen in on the signal broadcasted from a
radio-equipped All Sport controller. Contact Daktronics for more information about this option.
Red Light Control
Control for the red goal lights varies depending on the model:
Varsity & Pro Goal Lights
Plug a handheld goal judge switch into the J2 jack on each goal light. Press the button to turn
the red light(s) on and off.
NHL Goal Lights
Refer to the Hockey Goal Judge Operation Quick Guide (ED-18140) for instruction on using
the RC-100 handheld controller to operate the goal lights.
Plug a handheld goal judge switch into the J2 jack on each goal light as a backup if desired.
Press the button to turn the red light(s) on and off.
