Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or
lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to
other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
4. Assembly of scoreboard
To ensure fast and affordable shipping, the various modules of the scoreboard are separated before
shipping. These modules must be assembled before installation.
Extract all the modules from their packagings. Each module is identied with a label on its back
indicating to which panel it belongs: central panel (CENTER), left panel (LEFT) or right panel (RIGHT). The
label indicates also the assembling position (1, 2, 3, ...), where no. 1 refers to the upper position.
To avoid injuries such as bruises, scrapes, or cuts while handling the scoreboards, we advise
wearing protective gloves and safety shoes.
4.1. Joining the modules by means of brackets
Assemble the scoreboard on the oor before mounting it on the wall. Follow the directions below:
1. Make sure you have all the necessary pieces: modules for putting together the scoreboard (see the
various modules on pages 2and 4), brackets and screws for attaching the brackets to the modules.
2. We suggest placing protective material such as cardboard on the oor to serve as a base for
assembling the board. Place the modules face down on the oor and in numerical order from top to
bottom (Fig. 1), in order to assemble the desired panel.
3. Position the two brackets on the modules of each scoreboard’s panel (central, left, right). Align the
xing holes and rmly lock the brackets using the screw provided. The bracket’s oval holes for xing
the scoreboard must face the inner side of each panel (Fig. 2).

Fig. 2 Alignment of the brackets.
4.2. Connecting the modules
After attaching the various modules to the brackets, you can now proceed to connecting the electrical
system. Connect the cables coming out of the power supply module (identied with: CENTER 1) to the
cables of the other modules. Any connection sequence between male - female connectors can be used
(Fig. 1).
5. Electrical power supply system
Remember that the electrical power system MUST be implemented by a qualied technician.
5.1. Power socket
Each scoreboard comes with a power cord and plug. We suggest that a power supply socket be positioned
just above the board.
5.2. Power switch device
There MUST be a power switch device (isolating switch) in the electrical system in order to
switch off the scoreboard when it is not being used or while under maintenance.
5.3. Grounding
The scoreboard MUST be connected to a grounding system via the power supply cable and in
compliance with the technical regulations of the country where it is installed.

ENGLISH
6. Serial data cable system
Such system is not necessary in case of wireless communication with the control Console; however, a
cable connection can still be used. Use a network cable (read also the control Console manual).
To install the serial cable correctly, follow the directions below:
• under any circumstances, do not pass the cable through the same conduits used for the
cables of the electrical system, both for safety reasons as well as to avoid electrical
disturbances from motors, air conditioners, generators, etc.;
• avoid placing the cable where it may be exposed to high temperatures, mechanical damage
or vandalism;
• make sure that 50-100 cm of the serial cable remains free and exits the top of the scoreboard
about midway between the brackets (see chapter 8.1);
• if you want a point of disconnection near the Command Console, use a short extension cord.
7. Installation on wall
Before installing the assembled scoreboard on the wall, we suggest rst running a check test
(see chapter 8.2).
7.1. Selecting the correct position
Select the position on the wall where you want to install the scoreboard; the board should be installed
high enough on the wall to prevent possible attempts at vandalism, but not too high to inhibit proper
maintenance. Be reminded that the FC series scoreboards are resistant to damage from balls and
therefore no additional front protection cover is required.
Make sure that the wall can support the weight of the scoreboard and that the xing elements
are suitable for the type of wall and environment (e.g., possible corrosion due to dampness).
Consult a professional in the eld.
7.2. Installing the scoreboard
To wall mount use the oval holes at the end of the supporting brackets. The horizontal distance between
the xing holes is:
• central panel: 126.8 cm;
• side panels: 33.8 cm (only fouls) and 41.8 cm (player’s number + fouls);
• between central panel and side panels: 15.0 cm.
The vertical distance depends on the model (Tab. 2).

1. Drill the upper xing holes in the wall.
2. Lift the scoreboard and correctly secure it.
3. The scoreboard is now adequately installed. However, seeing that there are also lower bracket
eyelets, you may also wish to fasten the bottom part of the scoreboard to the wall; this will help to
prevent possible oscillation.
Make sure that you have securely fastened the scoreboard to the wall in order to prevent
possible collapse and harm to persons or objects.

8. Final connection and scoreboard test
Once the scoreboard has been installed on the wall, you can proceed with connecting the electrical
power supply and serial data communication (cable or radio).
8.1. Connecting the scoreboard
1. If you have bought the Console together with the scoreboard, the system will be delivered already
congured for correct wireless communication. Therefore, it is sufcient to connect it to the power
supply.
Instead, if you want to activate a wireless connection afterwards, refer to the Console manual.
2. To make a connection using a serial cable:
• make sure that the power supply to the scoreboard is disconnected;
• open the power supply module (chapter 9.2);
• insert the serial data cable coming out of the control console into the slot in the module
bottom;
• connect it to the connector of the FC HUB board.
3. Insert the power cord plug for the scoreboards into the wall socket.
Fig. 3 Connection of the serial data cable.
8.2. Testing the scoreboard
Once the scoreboards have been installed on the wall you can make an overall test to see if all
information is displayed correctly.
1. When the scoreboard is power supplied, all the displays switch on for about 1 second, even if the
control Console is turned off or disconnected. Then, the timer displays the time of the day. If this does
not happen and the scoreboard remains switched off, read chapter 9.
2. Connect the control Console (by radio or cable connection): the scoreboard will display the same
information present on the Console display. If this does not happen, read chapter 9.
3. After having checked that the data connection is properly working, perform an overall test by
switching on all the control Console displays; to perform the test, read the control Console
instructions. For incomplete display of panels, see chapter 9.
9. Maintenance
This chapter contains information on how to quickly resolve the principal problems that may occur with
the scoreboard over time. If you have further problems that cannot be solved herein, please contact us.
For all malfunctions, the following is a list of operations that should be carried out to re-establish the
scoreboard’s proper functioning.
1. FC HUB board.
2. Cable slot.
3. Connector for the cable.
4. Serial cable.

All maintenance, repair and checking operations on the scoreboard MUST be performed only by
qualied technicians.
9.1. Malfunctions
Malfunction Solution
1. The scoreboard does
not light up when
switched on
When the scoreboard is supplied with electricity, all the display panels light
up for circa 1 second, even if the Command Console is turned off or
disconnected. If this does not occur, check that:
(a) the mains voltage is present in the power supply cable;

Disconnect the FC HUB board (read chapter 9.6) and, on the back of the
scoreboard, disconnect the display modules. Measure the power supply unit’s
output voltage with a multimeter:
(e) Voltage < +20VDC replace the power supply unit;
(f) Voltage > +20VDC restore the connections one at the time to identify
the part causing voltage drop.
2. The scoreboard lights
up for 1 second but
then switches off
completely
For the scoreboards with timer, open the power supply module (see chapter
9.2) and check that:
(a) the cables are connected and undamaged
(b) and if the (red) LED present on the FC HUB board is switched off or on. If:
- switched off, replace the FC HUB board (chapter 9.6).
- switched on, contact technical assistance.
For scoreboards without timer carry out the verications as per point 3.
3. The scoreboard
displays only the time.
If there is no communication with the control Console, the scoreboards
display only the time on the timer. Make sure that:
(a) the time display on the Console is deactivated.
For cable connection:
(b) check that the cable is undamaged and that the connections are correct;
(c) use another Console output;
(d) replace the FC HUB board (chapter 9.6).
For radio connection, make sure that:
(e) mode FS2 is set and active on the Console;
(f) no other Consoles are activated with the same number.
Carry out the association procedure (read the Console manual).
(g) If the association procedure has been correctly completed and the
scoreboard does not display the information sent by the Console, replace
the FC HUB board (chapter 9.6).
(h) If the procedure fails, replace the radio module (chapter 9.7).
