2 RC-200 System Overview
The RC-200 system allows wireless control of multiple
scoring and display applications. This system is made
up of two distinct hardware components: the RC-200
wireless handheld controller, and the RC-200 wireless
Base Station.
The RC-200 wireless handheld controller (Figure 3)
includes a 4x4 keypad and a 97x32 liquid crystal
display (LCD). The RC-200 wireless handheld
controller is used to enter information to be displayed
on a scoreboard or display. The handheld operates
using a 2.4 GHz radio with internal antenna and
comes with a rechargeable Ni-MH (Nickel Metal
Hydride) 2000 mAh battery which provides 8-10 hours
of operation. A complete RC-200 system may include
multiple RC-200 wireless handheld controllers.
The RC-200 wireless Base Station processes
information received from the wireless handheld
controllers and sends this information to the
scoreboard or another external controller. Based on
the application, an RC-200 wireless receiver may be
mounted inside the display (Figure 4), or placed in an
external tabletop enclosure (Figure 5). An outdoor
enclosure is also available for certain applications.
Important Installation Range Considerations
The wireless Base Station must be located at least 10’ (3 m) from the wireless handheld
controller and no more than 500’ (152 m) away. If the wireless handheld is used outside
this range, the wireless handheld signal may drop out. Ideally, the handheld controller
should have a clear line-of-sight to the Base Station antenna. Make sure the Base Station
antenna is pointed straight up for best reception (it should look like a capital “L” when
viewed from the side).
