Scoreboard Troubleshooting 33
Radio Interference
If it has been determined that a nearby scoreboard‟s radio signal is interfering, the broadcast
and channel settings of the radio receiver inside the scoreboard(s) must be changed.
For more information, refer to the Gen V Radio Installation Manual (ED-13831), available
online at www.daktronics.com/manuals.
1. To locate the radio receiver,
look for the antenna sticking out
the front of the scoreboard
(Figure 27). Refer to the
component location drawings in
Appendix A for exact location
of the radio for a particular
scoreboard.
2. Open the access panel to which
the receiver is attached as
described in Section 5.3.
3. The radio receiver has a plastic cover (Figure 28).
Note: While it is necessary to have the scoreboard
powered on to check the LED indicators, always
disconnect scoreboard power before servicing.
4. Remove the four screws using a #2 Philips
screwdriver and lift off the cover.
5. Inside the receiver are a channel switch (S1) and
two broadcast jacks (J4, J5) with a jumper.
Figure 29 shows the
different configurations
for the small jumper
wire that sets the radio
broadcast (BCAST)
mode. Move the jumper
wire to the desired
broadcast location.
6. Use a small flathead
screwdriver to set the S1
switch to the desired
channel (1-8).
7. Screw the cover back on
and securely close the
access panel.
8. Enter the correct sport
code and new radio
settings into the console
to test the radio control
(refer to Section 1.4 for controller manuals).
