Topic

  • What is the correct address for my LED scoreboard driver?
  • What address should my drivers be set to?
  • How to determine what address the LED scoreboard driver needs to be set to.

Environment

  • Product: Indoor Scoreboard, Outdoor Scoreboard
  • Component: Driver
  • Control System: All Sport

Steps

  1. Determine what model scoreboard you have by following What model is my LED scoreboard .
  2. Use the following methods to determine the correct scoreboard driver address(es).
    1. If you are replacing a driver in a scoreboard that has functioned correctly before, Take note of the old driver address setting.
      1. Before removing the old driver from the scoreboard, look for an address plug in J19 and/or look at the dip/rotary switch settings and take a picture or write down the switch settings.
      2. If there is an address plug in J19, remove it from the old driver and install it in J19 of the replacement driver.
    2. Consult Appendix C of the All Sport 5000 Operation Manual, ED-11976.
      1. If there is more than one address listed, that means the scoreboard contains multiple drivers.
    3. Consult the Scoreboard Service Manual for your model scoreboard.

      3. Note: Sometimes finding the correct manual for your specific scoreboard can be challenging, as a general rule of thumb the address for a specific scoreboard model has remained the same over the years. Example: BB-2101 address is and has always been 17 regardless of scoreboard age.
