This manual describes the configuration of the RC-100 Hand-held and RC-100 Base station
System Overview 2-1Section 2: RC-100 System Overview The RC-100 System is a system that allows wireless control of multiple applications. The RC-100 system is made up of two different hardware components, the RC-100 Wireless Hand-held and the RC-100 Wireless Base Station. The RC-100 Wireless Hand-held includes a 4x4 keypad and graphical LCD as shown below. The RC-100 Wireless Hand-held is used to enter information to be displayed on a scoreboard or display. There may be multiple RC-100 Wireless Hand-held controllers in a single RC-100 system. The RC-100 Wireless Base Station processes information received from RC-100 Wireless Hand-held units and displays this information on the scoreboard or passes it out another external controller. The RC-100 wireless base station may be mounted inside the display, or placed in a tabletop enclosure, based on the application. Figure 3: RC-100 Wireless Hand-held
System Overview 2-2 Figure 4: RC-100 Scoreboard Receiver Figure 5 :RC-100 Base Station Table-Top Enclosure (Scoreboard Installation)
Base Station Operation 3-1Section 3: RC-100 Wireless Base Station Operation This section provides an overview of the RC-100 Wireless Base Station operation. The RC-100 Wireless Base Station is used to communicate with all RC-100 Wireless Hand-helds on the same channel setting. The RC-100 Wireless Base station also is used to update connected displays based on information entered on the Wireless Hand-held controller. The Wireless Base Station includes two switches that must be set to specify the function number and channel of operation. See the “Function Setting” and “Channel Setting” sections for more information. In addition, the Wireless Base Station includes a server/client jumper that must be set to “client” in some multiple wireless display scenarios. Refer to the “Server/Client Setting” section. 3.1 Important Installation Range Considerations Due to limitations of the RF Module in the wireless base station, the Base station must be located at a distance of AT LEAST 10 feet from the Wireless Hand-held controller. If the Wireless Hand-held is used at a distance of less than 10 feet from the base station, the wireless Hand-held may drop out occasionally (See Section 11: Troubleshooting for more information.) 3.2 Server/Client Mode Setting The RC-100 Wireless Base Station can operate in either Server mode or Client Mode, depending on application requirements. In Server mode, the Wireless Base Station controls all Wireless Hand-held devices, either through a program stored on chip (ie Baseball, DataTime) , or by acting as a router to pass data back and forth between wireless Hand-held devices and an external control system (ie OmniSport 2000 Judges' Console, For DataTime and All Sport applications), the Wireless Base Station Server will typically reside inside a scoreboard. An RC-100 network (on a single channel) must contain 1 and only 1 Wireless Base Station Server device.
3-2 Base Station Operation In client mode, the Wireless Base Station relies on another Wireless Base Station Server to supply it with data. This client base station, as referred to in figure 6 will typically provide a second wireless scoreboard or display, as needed for All Sport or DataTime functions. Since the Function select switch is not needed to select a function when the base station is in client mode, the function switch selects display group instead. For more information see the section 3.4 Function Setting. Wireless Base Station server/client mode is selected via the Server/Client Jumper. Insert the jumper over the top two posts as shown in the “Client” label on the PCB to put the wireless base station in Client mode. For Server mode, leave the jumper over the bottom two posts or remove. For most applications , the Wireless Base station will operate in server mode, and no change from the default setting will be necessary. 3.3 Channel Setting The wireless base station and wireless Hand-held device use internal radio modules to communicate. The radios on both the Wireless Hand-held and Wireless base station device can be set to any channel ranging from 1-15. To select the base station channel, use the rotary switch labeled “CHANNEL” “S1” (see the figure below.) To select the channel in the Wireless Hand-held controller, see respective section in the Wireless Hand-held Controller Operation Section. The wireless Hand-held and wireless base station must be set to the same channel in order to communicate. Two Wireless Base Station Servers (See Server/Client Section) cannot be powered up in the same area with the same channel setting, or they will interfere with each other. To avoid this, on power-up the Wireless Base Station Server checks to see Figure 6: Server/Client Select Jumper
Base Station Operation 3-3if there are any other servers located nearby. If another server is detected, the “In Range” LED on the server will flash quickly to indicate interference, and continue to flash until the channel is changed or the conflicting base station is turned off. If two wireless base station server units need to operate at the same time in the same location, set each to an independent channel. 3.4 Synchronizing Multiple Base Stations and Channel Selection Channel one is the default channel used by Daktronics for single base-station installations. When multiple base stations are installed in a single location, additional consideration must be given to channel number selection. The RC-100 wireless system uses frequency hopping technology to maximize range and minimize interference from other systems. When multiple base stations are installed within range of each other (approx 2000 feet) base stations must be able to synchronize with one another so that their hop sequences do not interfere with each other. This is accomplished by the use of synch groups. A list of the synch groups and their corresponding channel numbers and channel groups are shown in the table below. Sync Group Channel Number Primary Channel Group Extended Channel Group10 All2 1 2,3,4,5 7,8,9,10,12 (C), 13 (D), 14 (E), 15 (F)3 6 7,8,9,10 12 (C), 13 (D), 14 (E), 15 (F)4 11 (B) 12 (C), 13 (D), 14 (E), 15 (F) Figure 7: Channel Select Switch
3-4 Base Station Operation The “Channel Number,” “Primary Channel Group,” and “Extended Channel Group” entries correspond to the switch settings on the rotary channel switch and hand-held settings that pertain to the Sync Channel shown on the same line. Each “Primary Channel Group” lists the channels that will attempt to synchronize to this synch channel as a first-choice. If any base stations set to these “Primary Channels” are within range of a base station set to the corresponding sync channel number, the primary channel base station will sync to the corresponding sync channel. The “Extended Channel Group” lists channels that attempt to synchronize to the corresponding sync channel as a second or third choice. When these channels are not within range of their primary sync channel, they will attempt to synchronize to the corresponding sync channel. When a base station is synchronized to a Sync Channel, the In Range LED will flash briefly approximately every 5 seconds with the number of times flashed corresponding to the sync group (1 = Channel 0, 2= Channel 1, 3=Channel 6, 4= Channel 11 (B).) Any base stations set to channels in the “Channel Groups” section will continuously scan for sync base stations whenever no hand-held controllers are connected. This will allow these boards to be powered up in any sequence and still obtain network synchronization. If your installation includes a central base station installation location approximately 3000 feet or less from all other base stations which will remain on at all times during operation on any base station, a base station set to channel 1 may be installed in this location and all other base stations may be set to values in the primary and extended channel groups for this channel number. An example is shown below for the case of a baseball diamond.
Base Station Operation 3-5 If your installation does not include a central location as described previously, or if groups of base stations will be powered down at times other groups will need to be active, you will need to use sync groups 3 and 4 (channels 6 and 11.) You may use sync groups 3 and 4 (channels 6 and 11) as synchronizing channels for two other independent groups of scoreboards that may or may not be in range of any other groups. An example is shown below for a 3 independent group system.
3-6 Base Station Operation An important limitation exists for channels 1,6, and 11. Since other channels use these channels for synchronization purposes, base stations on these channels cannot scan during normal operation, only at power-up. For this reason, these base stations must be powered up in-order (1 first, then 6, then 11) in order to maintain overall network synchronization in the case where Channels 1, 6, and 11 all need to be powered up at the same time. 3.5 Function Setting To configure the function of the RC-100 system, the desired system function must be configured in the Wireless Base Station. A list of possible current functions are listed below along with the “function setting” used to reference the function.
Base Station Operation 3-7Table 1: Function Setting Function Setting Function (Base Station Server Mode) Function (Base Station Client Mode) 0 Default Function (last power up function) All Display Groups 1 CAN Hand-held (Judges') Console Display Group 1 2 Baseball/Tennis Scoreboard Controller (All Sport ) Display Group 2 3 DataTime/Data Master Display Control Display Group 3 4 Reserved Display Group 4 5 Reserved 6 Reserved 7 Reserved 8 Reserved 9 Reserved A Reserved B Reserved C Reserved D Reserved E Reserved F Reset Memory/Test Reset Memory/Test Note that the function of the base station depends on whether the base station is in Server or Client mode (see the Server/Client Section for more details.) For a Wireless Base Station Server, the function switch sets up the desired application. For a Wireless Base Station Client, the Function switch sets up the display group to which this display belongs. Function setting “0” on a Base Station Server is a special setting that defers function selection to the Wireless Hand-held. The Wireless Base Station Server will retain the last function specified by the Wireless Hand-held and use this as the default the next time power is cycled. All other Function settings will set the selected function as the default on power up, regardless of any function change done by the Wireless Hand-held during the last power up. Function setting “F” is a special setting which resets all saved memory parameters back to defaults. This can be used for situations such as when a password needs to be reset. To use this function, cycle power to the Wireless Base station with the switch in this position and leave on for 10 seconds. Remove power, change to the desired function and continue. All saved memory parameters will be set back to default. There are two methods by which to set the function of the wireless base station, either by rotary switch setting or by configuration through the wireless Hand-held controller. Either method may be used. Some applications may only use one of the two methods.
3-8 Base Station Operation Function Selection Via Switch Setting Refer to the drawing of the Wireless Base Station PCB assembly drawing shown below. The rotary switch labeled “FUNCTION” “S2” is used to set the function of the wireless base station Turn the rotary switch until the setting value of the desired function is displayed on the switch (See Table 1 for a list of function setting values.) After 5 seconds, the Wireless Base Station Server will change its function to match the new switch setting (any connected Wireless Hand-held Controllers should change as well.) When the Wireless Base Station Server is turned off and back on, it will always default to the function set on the switch, (even if another function was set during run-time by the wireless Hand-held.) To allow the wireless Hand-held control over the function setting for the next power-up, set the function switch to 0. The function setting may also be set in hardware via the loading of Jumpers W1-W4 to select the correct setting value. In this case, switch S2 may not be loaded on the PCB. Function Selection Via Wireless Hand-held The wireless Hand-held controller may also be used to set the function of the RC-100 system. The function of the base station may be changed DESPITE the setting of the Function Select Switch, HOWEVER, if the function select switch is set to any value other than 0, the switch-selected function will be restored at the next power on. To change the function of the wireless base station using the Wireless Hand-held Controller, the Wireless Hand-held must be in Configuration mode. See the “Configuration Mode” section of the Wireless Hand-held operation section for more information about changing the function of the wireless base station. Figure 8: Function Select
Base Station Operation 3-93.6 Wireless Base Station LED’s The wireless base station PCB includes several LED’s for diagnostic purposes. These LED’s and corresponding locations are shown in the figure 9. Figure 9: Wireless Base Station LED’s Power This LED is illuminated when an external power source is connected to the Wireless Base Station. CL/RS-232 Out This LED flashes when Current Loop (scoreboard) or RS-232 data is transmitted out of the base station to a wire-connected device. The Current Loop output is used to drive a connected scoreboard. The RS-232 output is used to communicate with external devices such as a DakTennis PC. CL/RS-232 In This LED flashes when the Base Station receives Current Loop or RS-232 data from another wire-connected device.
3-10 Base Station Operation In Range On a Base Station Server, this LED flashes several times at startup to show that the base station is searching for other base station servers on the same channel within range. If another base station server is found, this LED will flash continuously, indicating that only one base station server is allowed on a given channel. Once the Base Station server has entered operation mode, this LED indicates whether or not a Hand-held device is currently connected. When one or more Hand-held devices are connected, the In Range LED will be on. When no Hand-held devices are connected, the In Range LED will be off. On a Base Station Client, this LED is on whenever the client is connected to a Base Station Server. In addition, the In Range LED is also used to show base station synchronization status. When the base station is synchronized to another base station using a synch group, the sync group number is flashed on the LED approximately once every 5 seconds. For more information, refer to the Synchronizing Multiple Base Stations and Channel Selection Section. CAN TX The CAN TX LED illuminates (flashes) when CAN (Controller Area Network) data is transmitted to a connected CAN device such as the Omnisport 2000. CAN RX The CAN RX LED illuminates (flashes) when CAN (Controller Area Network) data is received from a connected CAN device such as the Omnisport 2000. LED Error Diagnostics The CAN TX, In Range, CL/RS-232 Out and CL/RS-232 in are also used to display errors that occur in Wireless Base Station Operation. Please refer to Wireless Base Station Errors for more information.
Handheld Controller Operation 4-1 Section 4: RC-100 Wireless Hand-held Controller Operation 4.1 Fundamental Operations: Config or Connect Mode The Wireless Hand-held Controller always operates in one of two modes, Connect Mode or Config Mode. Connect mode is used when the Wireless Hand-held is Connected to a Wireless Base Station Server. In Connect mode, the operation of the Hand-held is determined by the Wireless Base Station, and all operation is specific to the Wireless Base Station Function selected. Config (short for “configuration”) mode is used when a Wireless Hand-held is not being controlled by a Wireless Base Station Server. Config mode is used to setup operational parameters in the Wireless Hand-held controller, such as which channel to use or the amount of time to run idle before turning off. The icon below is shown on the LCD when the controller is in Connect mode: The following icon is shown on the top left of the LCD when the controller is in Configuration mode: Refer to the following sections for more information about each of these modes. 4.2 Keypad: The default layout of the wireless Hand-held keypad is shown below. This drawing will be referenced in the following operational sections. Note that the actual keypad for the user-connected application will vary, and will include any text specific to that application. However, all applications will have this default keypad layout in configuration mode. Figure 10: Connect Mode LCD Icon Figure 11: Config Mode LCD Icon

Alt Function Keys The Bottom Left key on the keypad labeled “ALT” is used to run alternate functions on a specified key. The Alternate key function, if applicable, will be shown on the key in the bottom half of the key below a horizontal line. See the Example below for the “Set Time/Up/DN” key. The Horizontal line separating <SET TIME> from <UP/DN> indicates that the alternate function for this key is <UP/DN> Which sets the clock direction as count up or count down. If the <ALT> Key is pressed before pressing this key, the “UP/DN” key function will be run. If the <ALT> key was not pressed, pressing this key selects the “Set Time” function. See the Application Specific section for your product for more information about the use of <ALT> function keys. Figure 13: Set Time Up/Dn Key
4-4 Handheld Controller Operation The Edit Key The Edit key is used to edit data associated with a specific key. An example is shown below for the “Out +1” key (Baseball specific.) Normally when the Out+1 Key is pressed, the number of outs will increment by one. However, in the case it is desired to change the value using the number key, press <EDIT> <OUT+1>. An LCD display will allow you to edit the current out value using the number keys on the keypad. See the Application specific section for more information about the use of the <EDIT> key. Number Keys Number keys are used for numeric entry functions. The key itself may be used for other key functions normally, but when in an edit routine, this key may be used to enter the number shown in the bottom right corner of the key. ON/OFF Clear/No Alt Key This key has several functions. The ON/OFF function is described in the section “Powering the Controller ON and OFF The ALT function is described in the “ALT Function Keys” section. This is the key that selects Alternate functions for application keys. Press this key before pressing the alternate function key to select the alternate function for that key. The <NO> operation of this key pertains to editing and data entry routines. When a question prompt is shown on the LCD with a Question mark, The <NO> key answers this question with a “NO.” The <CLEAR> operation of this key pertains to editing and data entry routines. When editing a value, pressing the <CLEAR> key clears that value.

When a question is shown on the LCD with a question mark, this key answers this question with a “YES.” The <ENTER> function of this key pertains to editing and data entry routines. When you have completed editing a value, press the <ENTER> key to accept the change and update on the display (if applicable.) 4.4 Powering the Controller On and Off The wireless Hand-held controller is a battery-powered device. When using battery power, the controller shuts itself off or “sleeps” automatically after a period of inactivity. Two methods may be used to “wake up” the Hand-held controller. Using External Power Plugging the unit into an AC or DC power source via the power connector will turn on the wireless Hand-held controller and charge its internal batteries (see Battery Operation.) Figure 16: ON/OFF Clear/No Alt Key Figure 17: Enter/Yes Key
4-6 Handheld Controller Operation Using the Keypad to Power On/Off The bottom-leftmost key is labeled <ON/OFF> Press and hold this key momentarily to turn on the controller. If the controller LCD does not display initialization text within a few seconds, the internal battery is most likely dead (see Battery Operation.) The controller may be turned off by either waiting for an inactivity timeout to turn the device off automatically, or by pressing and holding the <ON/OFF> key for 5 seconds. The LCD will display a power down message after the key has been held for five seconds. Release the <ON/OFF> key to turn the controller off. Note, the Wireless Handheld will not turn off if connected to external power. When connected to external power, the Wireless Handheld controller will remain on to monitor battery charging. When external power is removed and charging is complete, the handheld will power down after a 5 second prompt to conserve battery power. Press a key during the prompt after disconnecting external power to keep the handheld controller powered on. 4.5 Battery Operation A charger is contained inside the unit for re-charging the batteries. To recharge the batteries when not in use, simply connect a 12V AC or DC power source to the power connector on the wireless Hand-held controller A charger is contained inside the unit for re-charging the batteries. To recharge the batteries when not in use, simply connect a 12V AC or DC power source to the power connector on the wireless Hand-held controller. Figure 18: power source to the power connector If desired, the wireless Hand-held controller may be run on external power. Simply continue operation with external power connected.
Handheld Controller Operation 4-7The current external power detect status is shown by the indicator on the top left corner of the LCD. When external power is connected, a power plug will be shown to the right of the battery. The indicator on the top left center of the LCD shows the battery status. When the battery status indicator cycles from low to high and back to low again, the charger is in fast charging mode. A completely discharged battery will take approximately 1 ½ hours of fast charging to completely recharge. 4.6 Range Indicator The top line of the LCD is used to show a range indicator, to determine the approximate signal strength of the network connection. The antenna indicator on the left is shown when a base station is detected in range of the handheld. Each successive bar indicates an additional level of signal strength between the handheld and base station. When 0 or 1 bar is shown, the connection to the wireless network is likely to be limited, and the console may occasionally fail to respond. To improve signal strength, move within range of the base station and remove any line-of-sight obstacles located between the base station and handheld controller. Ideally, the handheld controller should have a clear line-of-sight to the base station antenna. For more information see, Section 11 Troubleshooting Figure 19: Signal Strength 4.7 Configuration Mode The wireless Hand-held controller operates in one of two different modes at all times, Configuration (Config) mode or Connect Mode.
