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
configured for correct wireless communication. Therefore, it is sufficient 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.

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.
