The RC-100 base station and All Sport radio receiver are typically held in place with
adhesive-backed, hook-and-loop fastener strips, and when ordered as original equipment
may already be installed. The only installation required is attachment of the radio antenna,
which may have been shipped separately to prevent damage.
If the base station or receiver is not already installed:
1. Access the inside of the scoreboard by removing the three (3) screws securing the rear
access panel and swinging it open.
2.
Position the unit inside the scoreboard so the antenna connector can extend through
the hole in the upper-right corner on the front of the scoreboard.
3.
Remove the backing from the fastener strips on the unit.
4. Insert the antenna jack through the hole, and then firmly press the unit against the
interior front panel, sticking the fastener's adhesive to the sheet metal.
5.
Route and connect the cable protruding from the bottom of the unit to the mating 6-
pin jack directly on the LED driver.
Note: For models built prior to April 2015, the radio cable will connect to the 5-pin
jack labeled “J45” coming from the LED driver.
6.
Close and secure the rear access panel.
7.
From the front face of the scoreboard, note that the antenna connector now protrudes
through the panel.
a. Install and tighten the lock washer and nut on the antenna connector.
b. Mount the external antenna on the connector, turning the nut on the antenna
until it is snug.
c. Rotate the antenna so that it is pointing straight upward (it should look like a
capital “L” when viewed from the side).
Setting the Base Station Function
The base station is preset to Function 2 or 5, Channel 1. If the default settings do not appear to
work, refer to Drawings A-236394 and A-244926 for instruction on changing these settings.
For more information, refer to the RC-100 manual listed in Section 1.1.
Setting the Radio Receiver Channel
The radio receiver is preset to Channel 1. If there are other scoreboards in the facility
operating with radio signal, each scoreboard receiver must be set to a different channel
number (typically starting with 1 and numbering consecutively). Refer to Drawing A-1109181.
Refer to the Gen VI Radio Installation Manual (DD2362277) for more information.
