5.1 Time of Day Mode
Time of Day (TOD) mode allows the scoreboard to function as a clock when no All Sport
signal is present. Note that TOD mode is available on scoreboards with driver firmware
version 1.0 or higher. To enable Time of Day mode:
1. Shut off power to the scoreboard at the breaker.
2. Access the scoreboard driver to which the clock
digits are connected. Refer to the component
location drawings attached to the product
specification sheets listed in Appendix A.
3. At the bottom of the driver are two address
switches labeled “H” and “L”.
Make a note of the position
of both switches as they
will need to be returned to
their exact positions later:
4. Use a small flathead screwdriver to move both H and L address switches to the “F”
position (Figure 32). This will set the scoreboard driver to Diagnostics Mode.
5. Reapply power to the scoreboard. If the driver has successfully entered Diagnostics Mode,
the “RUN” LED (DS2) will be blinking at a fast rate, about four times per second.
6. Rotate the L address switch to the “0” position
(Figure 33). The “232” LED (DS1) will blink to
show a change has been made:
 Three blinks = Time of Day Enabled
 Two blinks = Time of Day Disabled
7. To exit Diagnostics Mode, rotate the High
address switch (H) to any value other than “F”.
THIS STEP MUST BE PERFORMED TO SAVE
THE TIME OF DAY SETTING!
8. Set both address switches back to their original positions as noted in step 3. Note that
the “RUN” LED (DS2) will now be blinking slower, about once per second, and the
scoreboard will finish the power-up sequence to operate as normal.
To adjust the current Time of Day settings, refer to the operation manual of the All Sport
control console in use.
