MULTISPORT 500 COMPUTERIZED CONTROL CONSOLE
GENERAL - Spectrum’s Multisport 500 control console is housed in a housed in a
Protective, convenient carrying case. This control console is 100% low voltage and does not
require a 120-volt power cord. All scoreboard functions are controlled by long life, sealed
membrane switches. Each time a switch on the control console is pushed, a /beep/ will be heard
to indicate the switch has been energized. Some switches are color- coded and LED’s (light
emitting diodes) are used to enhance visual recognition of switches and their status. A
microcomputer chip inside the control console reads the keyboard 10 times a second, processes
the data and sends it to the scoreboard where it is interpreted by an /interpreter module/ and
displayed on the scoreboard.
MULTISPORT - This controller can operate different scoreboards. After plugging the
controller in, a number will be selected to choose a sport. The different sports available are:
1 = FOOTBALL MODE, 2 = BASKETBALL MODE, 3 = BASEBALL/SOFTBALL MODE,
4= TRACK MODE, 5= SOCCER MODE, 6= HOCKEY MODE, 7= PENALTY MODE
If the wrong sport is chosen, press, “RESET”, then “MODE” then the number for the correct
sport.
