Instructions for: LED models: 2500-D 2500-A4-D 2540 2540-A4 2550-D 2560 9510 Introduction Welcome to the new MPCH wireless control now operating many of our current Nevco scoreboard model variations. It’s loaded with advanced operating features that will simplify and enhance the operation of your scoreboard system. Some of the features include: v Tenth second displayed on the scoreboard timer during the last minute of the game. v Set the Chronometer (time of day) on the scoreboard clock, it will keep accurate time even after turning off the control. v The control has the capability of direct cable connection in the event that your batteries are low. v The control has seven different channels or frequencies, each channel having a very large number of randomly selected Key Codes. This allows two different Nevco wireless controls to be on the same channel and yet not interfere with each other’s operation of their perspective scoreboard.

Start Up Procedure Connecting the Receiver to the Scoreboard The receiver is connected to the scoreboard using a cable, which is provided, and plugged into a telephone jack located near the power input. The receiver receives its power from the scoreboard, therefore not requiring any batteries. The control requires 4 each AA batteries, which are not included. Once you have installed the batteries in the control and plugged the receiver into the scoreboard, follow the instructions below. Power must be turned on at the scoreboard before turning the wireless control on. Setting a random channel for operation The very first time that you use your wireless control, you must synchronize the control with the scoreboard that you are going to be operating by setting the channel. Once you have done this you will not have to do it again unless something would interfere with the signal. If this would happen, merely select another channel until the interference goes away. With the power turned on at the scoreboard, turn the wireless control on. The LED indicators on the receiver should flash for about five seconds. This indicates that you have power to the scoreboard and the control is transmitting a signal. The control is equipped with an infrared port, located on the front edge, as does the receiver. To set the control to a channel, hold the control within an inch of the receiver aligning the two infrared ports. The LED lights on the receiver will randomly flash for a few seconds indicating that the two infrared ports are communicating, as well as setting a channel. Once a channel is set, you cannot change to a different channel for at least 20 seconds. This feature eliminates accidental channel changing. Setting a Particular Channel for operation If you choose to select a particular channel, follow these simple steps: Select and hold down the key on the keyboard overlay of the channel number you desire (1 – 7). While holding down the key, align the infrared port on the control with the infrared port on the receiver. Continue holding the key down until the LED indicators on the receiver stop flashing, then release the key. The channel is now set. Below is a chart showing you which channel is being chosen when you see the LED indicators flashing on the receiver. The Signal LED will only flash while pressing a key on the control indicating that data is being sent and received. The Signal LED is the LED nearest the infrared port on the receiver.

Hold the TIME OFF key in the down position. You will notice that the Signal LED is flashing steadily. Now look at LED 1, 2 and 4. Using the chart above, you can determine which channel is set. Example: LED 1 is the only one lit indicating Channel 1.
Timer Operation Entering Main Time You must always enter the tenth second when setting the clock. Follow the example. EXAMPLE: Press SET, then TIME Press 8000 The scoreboard display shows 8:00. You had to enter the tenth second even though it does not display on the scoreboard until the last minute of the game. Starting and Stopping the Main Timer Press TIME ON to start the timer and TIME OFF to stop the timer. Period Press SET, then PERIOD and the number desired. As you see by the example, you don’t enter zeros that are not significant. In fact, to set the time to zero, just press SET then TIME then YES. Score Entries Let’s enter a score for the home team. Adding to Score Press HOME SCORE Press 2 The scoreboard displays a “2” in the HOME SCORE. Repeat this a few times. It can add any number for you from 1 to 9. Correcting Score Sorry, you can’t subtract. Use the SET key. Press SET then HOME SCORE. Now enter any amount you wish. Naturally, GUEST SCORE also works this way. Team Fouls HOME and GUEST TEAM FOULS operate the same as HOME and GUEST SCORE. Weight Class Press SHIFT, then WEIGHT and the number desired. Bonus Indicators Press SHIFT, then BONUS. The scoreboard follows this sequence; “HOME”, “GUEST”, both on, both off. Next Possession Indicators Press SHIFT, then NEXT POSS. The NEXT POSSession works just like BONUS (alternating between HOME and GUEST) except there is no state with both off or both on, once used for the first time. Clearing Next Possession You may blank the NEXT POSSession by pressing SHIFT, then NEXT POSS., and then BLANK.
Player Number and Fouls Setting the Player Number Press SHIFT, then PLAYER NUMBER and the number. Setting Player Fouls Press SHIFT, then PLAYER FOULS and the number. Blanking the Scoreboard Display If you want to remove the display from the scoreboard, you can do the following: Press SHIFT, then PLAYER NUMBER and then BLANK. PLAYER FOULS works the same way. Dimming the Scoreboard Display You may dim the scoreboard display if it is too bright. Press SHIFT, and then DIM. Repeat the process to return the scoreboard display to bright again. Chronometer A chronometer is a time piece designed to keep time with great accuracy. If you wish to use the scoreboard to display the Chronometer Time (Time of Day) when a game is not being played, try this. Press SET, then TIME and enter a valid Time of Day. (i.e. 12000 for 12 o’clock). Next, hold the SET key down for approximately 5 seconds. The scoreboard display will go blank except for the time. When this happens, you’re done. You can shut the control off and put it away. The scoreboard will keep an accurate Time of Day until you either turn the control back on and enter information or turn the power off to the scoreboard.
