Radio Speed of Pitch Configurations

Kit #4: Radar Gun Near All Sport

– Radio Scoreboard & Current Loop RTD

In this configuration, the All Sport console receives speed-of-pitch information from a radar
gun that is located no more than 10' (3 m) away. The All Sport then transmits the radar data
directly to a scoreboard via wireless radio signal and to a Daktronics display controller via
wired current loop signal. Refer to the instructions below and Drawing B-159255 in
Appendix A to set up the system.


1. Connect the J4 end of the radar gun Y-cable (0A-1000-0123) to the J6 port on the back

of the All Sport console and the J1 end to the 25-pin junction box (0A-1067-0056).

2. Connect the JUGS end of the radar gun Y-cable to the 9-pin plug on the 30' (9 m) data

cable (W-2453).

3. Connect the data cable to the 9-pin jack on the radar gun handle. The power adapter

(A-3010) may also be plugged into the handle and a 120/240 VAC power source, or
the gun may run off internal rechargeable batteries.

4. Route one-pair cable (W-1077) minimum from the 25-pin J-box to TB1 on the signal

converter (0A-1065-0173). Connect the red wire to 5 CL+ and the black wire to 6 CL-.
Plug the signal converter into a 120 VAC power source.

5. Connect the 9-pin to 9-pin cable (W-1267) between the J1 jack on the signal converter

and an available serial (COM) port on the display controller or DSTI computer.
The COM port must be set to: 1200 baud, No parity, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, Standard RTD.

6. Ensure that any radar gun menu settings are properly configured for baseball.

Refer to the documentation included with the radar gun.

7. Plug in and power on the All Sport console. Ensure the radio broadcast and channel

settings are correct, and set to code “5500” to enter the Pitch & Speed mode.
