This quick guide explains how to install an RC-200 wireless base station, an All Sport radio receiver, or an All
Sport MX-1 Interface Box inside an MS-2113 portable scoreboard. For more information about operation and
maintenance of the MS-2113 scoreboard, refer to the refer to the MS-2113 Portable LED Scoreboard Display
Manual (DD3277683), shipped with the scoreboard and available at www.daktronics.com/manuals.
Before beginning, ensure the scoreboard is powered off/unplugged!
RC-200 Base Station/All Sport Radio Receiver
Both the RC-200 base station and the All Sport Gen VI radio unit have the
same dimensions and connections, so either may be installed the same way.
1. The left-rear side of the scoreboard cabinet has 3 slotted latches securing
the access door. Use a athead screwdriver to turn all 3 latches 1/2 twist
counterclockwise and carefully open the door.
2. On the left side of the scoreboard cabinet interior is a bracket to hold a
radio unit in place. Route the gray power/signal cable through the bottom
of the bracket, then carefully slide the radio unit down into the bracket.
If it’s too tight of a t, remove the rear hook and loop fastener strips or
use a 5/16" wrench/socket to loosen the nuts on the sides of the bracket.
Ensure the black antenna cable also extends out the bottom of the
bracket. See Figure 1.
3. Use a 5/16" wrench/socket to remove the nut and lock washer from the
antenna connector, then push it through the bottom middle “D” hole in
the scoreboard face sheet so it protrudes out the front.
4. On the front of the scoreboard, reattach the lock washer and nut, then
attach the black radio antenna to the connector, turning the nut on the
antenna until it is snug.
Rotate the antenna so that it is pointing straight upward (it should look like
a capital “L” when viewed from the right side). See Figure 2.
Note: If the scoreboard will be placed where it may be hit by ying
objects, participants, or spectators, attach two U-bolts horizontally
across the radio antenna to protect it.
5. Attached to the rear access door is the driver enclosure. Remove the
metal cover of the driver enclosure by lifting it up, then back and down to
access the scoreboard driver.
6. Connect the 6-pin plug of the gray power/signal cable to the mating 6-pin
J21 jack on the driver. See Figure 3.
7. Put the metal cover back on the driver enclosure, carefully coil up the gray
power/signal cable so it doesn’t get pinched in the door, then close the
rear access door and secure the three latches.
8. Power on the scoreboard and control console to verify the radio settings
are correct.

RC-200 Base Station Settings
The base station is preset to Function 2, Group 1, Channel 1. When the display is powered on, it will briey display
the broadcast (“b1”) and channel (“C1”) numbers in the clock digits (Figure 4). Ensure these numbers match
the settings in the RC-200 handheld controller. If the default settings do not appear to work, refer to the Remote
Control System RC-200 All Sport Operation Manual (DD3572889), available at www.daktronics.com/manuals.
All Sport Radio Receiver Settings
The radio receiver is preset to Broadcast Group 1, Channel 1. When the display is powered on, it will briey display
the broadcast (“b1”) and channel (“C1”) numbers in the clock digits (Figure 4). Ensure these numbers match the
settings in the All Sport control console. If the default settings do not appear to work, refer to the Gen VI Radio
Installation Manual (DD2362277), available at www.daktronics.com/manuals.
Note: If there are other All Sport controlled displays in the area operating with radio signal, each display receiver
must be set to a different channel number (typically starting with 1 and numbering consecutively).

All Sport MX-1 Interface Box
There are two main ways to connect an All Sport MX-1 Interface Box to an MS-2113, either internally or externally.
Internal Installation
1. Locate the MX-1 Interface Box and the black power/signal Y-cable (part # 0A-2026-0006). Connect the sealed
micro USB (blue) and 4-pin XLR (black) connectors of the Y-cable to the mating plugs on the bottom of the
Interface Box. Ensure the locking collars are tightly engaged. See Figure 5.
2. The left-rear side of the scoreboard cabinet has 3 slotted latches securing the access door. Use a athead
screwdriver to turn all 3 latches 1/2 twist counterclockwise and carefully open the door.
3. Inside the scoreboard cabinet on the right side of the rear access door is a bracket to hold the Interface Box
in place. Use a 5/16" wrench/socket to loosen the four inner nuts of the bracket, then use these nuts to mount
the Interface Box in place. See Figure 6.
4. Also attached to the rear access door is the driver enclosure. Remove the metal cover of the driver enclosure
by lifting it up, then back and down to access the scoreboard driver.
5. Route the silver 4-pin XLR plug on the power/signal Y-cable to the mating silver 4-pin XLR jack on the wiring
harness in the driver enclosure. See Figure 7.
6. Put the metal cover back on the driver enclosure, carefully coil up the black power/signal Y-cable so it
doesn’t get pinched in the door, then close the rear access door and secure the three latches.
External Installation
An external installation may be required if it’s discovered that the Bluetooth®signal to the controlling device is not
strong enough when the interface box is mounted internally.
1. Locate the MX-1 Interface Box and the black power/signal Y-cable (part # 0A-2026-0006). Connect the sealed
micro USB (blue) and 4-pin XLR (black) connectors of the Y-cable to the mating plugs on the bottom of the
Interface Box. Ensure the locking collars are tightly engaged. See Figure 5.
2. The left-rear side of the scoreboard cabinet has 3 slotted latches securing the access door. Use a athead
screwdriver to turn all 3 latches 1/2 twist counterclockwise and carefully open the door.
3. Inside the scoreboard cabinet on the right side of the rear access door is a bracket to hold the Interface Box
in place. Use a 5/16” wrench/socket to loosen the four inner nuts of the bracket, then use these nuts to mount
the Interface Box in place. See Figure 6.
Figure 5: Interface Box with Y-Cable Figure 6: Interface Box on Bracket Figure 7: XLR Connection
4. Use a 3/8” wrench/socket to loosen the four outer nuts of the bracket to remove it from the rear access door.
Replace these nuts back on the threaded studs so they do not get lost.
5. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the two middle screws on top of the scoreboard cabinet. Place the
Interface Box bracket assembly on top of these screws and slide the bracket forward (or backward) so that
the screws engage on the narrow slots of the keyholes. Tighten the screws. See Figure 8.
Note: Depending on the location of the controlling device (in front of or behind the scoreboard), ensure the
DAKTRONICS logo on the Interface Box is facing that direction.
6. Close the rear access door and secure the three latches.
7. Route the silver 4-pin XLR plug on the power/signal Y-cable to the 4-pin CONTROL CONSOLE CONNECT jack.
See Figure 9.
When the event is complete, disconnect the power/signal Y-cable from the covered jack and move the
Interface Box bracket assembly and cabling back inside the scoreboard cabinet.
Download the DAK Score App
On your Android or iOS mobile device, open the App Store,
search for “DAK Score”, and download the app. With the MX-1
box powered on and Bluetooth®wireless technology enabled
on your mobile device, open the app. The “All Sport MX-1”
device should appear in the list (Figure 10). Tap the device
name to connect to it and begin controlling the scoreboard.
Note: The MX-1 device name may have been renamed,
which is recommended if there are multiple
scoreboards in the area.
