counter-clockwise. Do not raise tripod past red
MAXIMUM mark on the pole.
Tighten knob adjacent to the crank to securely hold
the scoreboard in place.
If the power cable and control cable are not
attached to the bottom of the display module,
connect both cables to the receptacles located in
the recessed area. Tighten screws on the 25-pin
cable to secure to display module.
Connect the 25 ft. control cable to socket on the
left side of the control console. Tighten screws to
secure cable to control console.
Plug 8 ft. power cable into a standard wall outlet.
An extension cord may be used.
If the power cable is not attached to the bottom of

The SS-3300/SS-3200 control console is used for all
scoreboard operations. Certain buttons perform more
than one function while some buttons are disabled
during specific events. It is important to be aware of
these relationships for effective use of the scoreboard.
A Quick-Start instruction label is located on the back
side of the console. Use this for an immediate
reference on the functions of the console.
Match time (0:00–99:99) is the primary timing
function. Current period is indicated by 4 LEDs above
the match time display.
Score (0–99) displays the points awarded to each
player. Red and green digits distinguish each player.
The secondary timer (0:00-9:59) has two modes:
riding (advantage) timer and injury timer. The console
indicates which mode is currently in use by
illuminating ADV or INJ in red above the timer
display. In injury mode (INJ), the green and red
indicators next to the timer will flash to indicate
which player’s injury time is displayed. In riding
mode (ADV), the green and red indicators will be
solid to indicate which player has the control
advantage.
Match number (0–9999) display can show the match
or bout number in progress. Using the supplied static
color overlays, the display can alternately be used to
show team score.

How Can I Run Both
Players’ Injury Timer
Simultaneously?
The SS-3300/SS-3200 can run both players’ injury
timer simultaneously and alternate the display to show
both timers. See section on running injury timer on
page 7 for instructions on how to use injury timer.
Example
Display, then start the Home (green) player’s injury
timer:
 Green indicator will flash to show that the
Home player’s injury time is currently on the
display.
 Amber time digits will count up to show
elapsed Home injury time.
Display, then start the Guest (red) player’s injury
timer without stopping Home (green) player’s injury
timer:
 Red indicator will immediately begin to flash
to show that the Guest player’s injury time is
currently on the display.
 Amber time digits will count up to show
elapsed Guest injury time.
The display will now alternate every 5 seconds
between the green and red player’s injury time. This
alternating display will continue until either injury
timer is stopped.
NOTE: When running injury timers simultaneously,
it is important to know that only the active (currently
displayed) timer can be started or stopped. For
example, if the Guest (red) player’s injury time is
currently displayed but the Home (green) player’s
injury timer should be stopped, the display for the
green player must first be activated (displayed) by
pressing the HOME button. Once the display has
changed and the green indicator is flashing, then
press the HOME button again to stop the green
injury timer.
