COMMUNICATION CABLES
Connecting a Hard Wired Cable
Using the supplied 20-ft. DIN cable, connect one end to either of the DIN sockets
on back of the controller and the other end to the junction box receptacle.
Connect the AC Adapter to the power jack on the back of the controller and into a
standard 120V power source. If you are not using a wall receptacle, make sure the
connection is stable. A power strip serves as a better power source than an
extension cord. Extension cords do not always provide a stable power source.
Connecting a Wireless Transmitter
Connect the transmitter to the controller by plugging one end of the transmitter’s
attached interface cable into the transmitter and the other end to either of the
controller’s DIN sockets on back of the controller. Place the transmitter into the
supplied clip on back of the controller.
Connect the AC Adapter to the power jack on the back of the controller and into a
standard 120V power source. If you are not using a wall receptacle, make sure the
connection it stable. An outlet bar serves as a better power source than an
extension cord. Extension cords do not always provide a stable power source.

GETTING STARTED
Begin by making sure the Game Inserts that came with your scoreboard are in the proper
location on the controller, as in the image below.
A Note about the LCD Display:
The LCD display provides the scorer with any information that the scoreboard will
display. Some features are not automatically displayed and must be enabled. Take a look
at your scoreboard and determine which features you want to use and which you do not.
Example: Your scoreboard has an AT BAT feature, which can be disabled without
changing the ability of the scoreboard to function. If it is disabled, the information will not
show on the LCD display, and you will not go through the steps required to use the
feature. However; if it is enabled, a few simple keystrokes are all that is required to use the
feature.
The Up/ Down Arrows on the GAME Keypad are used to scroll the information on
the LCD Display. There are two lines of text. Pressing either arrow will cycle those lines of
text.
When the POWER switch is turned ON the controller’s LCD will show the following:
To Continue Last Game Press ENTER, To Start New Game Press RESET
Pressing ENTER will recall information from the last game that was played and display
it on the controller and scoreboard. At this time game play can resume.
Pressing RESET will begin a new game. The scoreboard and controller will display the
default start up information with zeros in BALL, STRIKE, OUT, HOME/GUEST 1st
INNING scores, TOTAL RUNS, TOTAL HITS, H/E, E.

GAMEPLAY

display has a flashing cursor. At this time, enter the player’s number on the numeric
keypad and press ENTER. The batter’s number should show on the scoreboard and

NOTE: If AT BAT scoring is NOT enabled, scoring a game begins with the following:
As the batter’s pitches are thrown, enter the balls and strikes as they occur on
the GAME keypad. When the batter has a hit, error or out, use the respective key on the
appropriate team’s keypad to enter the results.
Follow this process with each batter until the teams change field positions and
then do the same for the opposing team.
As the Inning ends, press the INNING key on the GAME Keypad to advance to
the next inning.

As the game is played and as HITS, RUNS, ERRORS are added, their totals are
reflected on the scoreboard and on the controller’s LCD display.

ERROR: Used to represent an error by a fielder. Press ERROR on the respective team
