Basic Operation

This manual explains the operation of All Sport® 5000 series control consoles for pitch timing. For additional information, refer to the All Sport 5000 Series Control Console Operation Manual (ED-11976) located online at www.daktronics.com/manuals.

Console Operation

The console face consists of a 2-line by 16-character liquid crystal display (LCD), number/ menu keypads, horn/clock controls with LED status indicators, and an area for a sportspecific insert. Refer to Figure 1 to locate these components on the control console face.

Figure 1: All Sport 5000 Layout

In most cases, the top line of the LCD shows the main clock time, direction the clock is counting, and when the main horn is sounding, while the bottom line typically shows the HOME and GUEST team scores.

The standard fixed keys and functions on the right side of the console are explained in Standard Keys (p.2). All of the keys that pertain to a specific sport code insert are explained in detail in their respective sport section.

In addition, Quick References and Menu Flowcharts for the Standard Keys and many of the more common individual sports are provided in Appendix B.

Throughout this manual, the names or letters of keys on the keypad are enclosed in angle brackets (such as )

Sport Inserts

A sport insert identifies the keys required for normal operation of a specific sport. In most cases, pressing a key immediately changes the scoreboard. Keys that require entry of additional information are marked by a dot. This additional information is usually a number followed by the key.

To use an insert, slide it into the opening on the left side of the console until it stops. To remove a sport insert, pull on the tab that extends from the left side of the console.

If an insert is lost or damaged, a printed copy of the insert drawing from Appendix A may be used until a replacement can be ordered.

The <ENTER/YES*> key has two functions:

• Serves as for input prompts (Y).

Clear/No 

The <CLEAR/NO> key has two functions:
