The MPCW-6 System

The system includes the MPCW-6 control, an MPCW-6 Receiver (each

receiver and control have a 9 volt power adapter), System Key and System Key

Management Overlay, Model Code 618. Each scoreboard and shot clock display

requires its own receiver.

Group Management Introduction

Setting up and managing the Nevco scoreboard wireless system is rather

easy when a few principles are known. Every scoreboard or display in the system

must have a Receiver. Each Receiver’s data is downloaded into a System Key

and given a name that will identify it to the person setting up the system. Groups

are created (up to 40 scoreboards and other Nevco equipment that will be

operated together). These Groups are given names. Names may be up to 16

characters. A control can manage up to 40 Groups. In order to operate, the

Receiver must be added to a Group.

A common example is as follows. A High School has a football scoreboard

and delay of game timers, therefore needing 3 receivers. The Receiver Names

might be named East DGT, West DGT and Scoreboard. The Group Name might

be Football. The school also has 2 basketball scoreboards and shot clocks in the

gym. This would require 4 receivers. The Receiver Names might be North

Scoreboard, South Scoreboard, North SC and South SC. The Group Name might

be Varsity Bskball. The gym is split cross-court for practice and intramural

games, using one of the scoreboards and one of the shot clocks for each court;

therefore two other Group Names might be Practice South and Practice North.

Practice South would include Receivers Named South Scoreboard and South

SC. Practice North would include Receiver Names North Scoreboard and North

SC. This is a total of four Groups. When the control is turned on the names of

these Groups will be displayed and the control operator may select the proper

Group to operate.

This High School may program their MPCW-6 controls to operate any of

the equipment simply by changing to the correct overlay and selecting the Group

Name desired. Operation of the MPCW-6 is identical to the MPC-5.

Set up of MPCW-6

Step 1

Plug the System Key into the receiver using the phone jack.

Step 2

Plug receiver into the power adapter.

Plug the power adapter into any 120 volt 50/60 hertz outlet.

The Yellow LED on the System Key will illuminate indicating data is being

downloaded. The Green LED on the System Key will illuminate indicating the

data has been transferred. Disconnect the System Key from the receiver.

Repeat this step for all receivers that you will be installing at this time. The

data from the receivers will be stored in the System Key in the order they were

connected. Very Important: Label or identify in some manner where these

receivers will be installed. You may use the blank space provided on the

label located on the top of the Receiver. This information will be critical

when naming them in a subsequent step. Note: Only connect the System

Key to each Receiver once.

Step 3

Connect the MPCW-6 to its power adapter and plug into any 120 volt 50/60

hertz outlet. Unplug any hand-held switches before continuing with the set

up. Turn on the MPCW-6. On the MPCW-6 enter the 618-model code from

the overlay.

You will be prompted to “Insert the System Key” into either hand-held

switch socket. The Yellow LED will flash on the System Key and the display will

read “Downloading Data”. Once completed, the green LED on the System Key

will illuminate indicating the data has been transferred to the control. You are

now ready to Name the Receivers.

Very Important: The System Key should remain plugged into the MPCW-6

until the set up procedure is complete, you will be instructed to remove the

System Key at the proper time.

Step 4

Naming the Receiver.

With new equipment, the display will read, “Unnamed Receiver,” the

receiver must be given a name. This will be the first receiver that was connected

to the System Key. The receivers will appear in the same order they were

entered. The blinking curser is your prompt to enter the name you wish to give

this receiver. Type in the name using the letter keys on the left keypad or the

number keys on the right keypad, or a combination of both. Example: Pressing

the key labeled “A B C” once will display an “A”, pressing the key again will

display a “B”, etc. When entering the name of the receiver, enter each letter or

number. Note: If two consecutive letters in the name are on the same key, you

will need to use the “Right Arrow” key to advance the cursor. The “Left Arrow”

key corrects an error; continued pressing of the “Left Arrow” key will continue to

backspace. Press “Yes” when done. If valid, display will acknowledge and

confirm receiver by displaying “Name Accepted”. When choosing a name for the

receiver you will want to select the equipment by a name that is easily

recognizable by anyone who might operate the equipment. This procedure will

need to be done for each Receiver until the display indicates “Ready”.

Note: Once all Receivers are named you may press the “No” key to escape

to the main functions, such as Create a Group or Select a Group.

Step 5

Create a Group

Press the “Create Group” key. The display will read “New Name” then the

cursor will appear in the display. Select a name that is easily recognizable and

basic. In a High School gym you might choose “Varsity Bskball.” This group

would include all the equipment that is used in a varsity game. You might choose

“Freshmen Bskball.” This group might include only the scoreboards and

equipment used during a freshman game. Enter the “Group Name” in the same

manner used to name the receiver, above. Press “Yes” when done. The display

will read “Name Accepted” then “Ready”.

Step 6

Add Receivers to A Group

The receivers named in Step 3 now must be added to the group created in

Step 4. Press “Select Group.” If only one group has been created, that name will

be displayed. If there are multiple groups in the system, press the “Select Group”

key until the group you wish to add the receivers to is displayed.

Press “Add Rcvr.” The name of a receiver will be displayed, if you wish to

add this receiver to this group press “Yes.” The display will read

“Receiver Added.” Continue adding receivers as desired. If a receiver is

displayed that you do not wish to add to the group, press “Add Rcvr” again, the

next Receiver will be displayed. If all receivers in the system have been added to

a group, the display will read, “There are no valid receivers for this function.

Press any key to continue” Press any key to return to the “Ready” prompt.

Step 7

Confirming the Set UP

Press “Select Group.” Group name(s) will be displayed, continue

pressing key to select the group you wish to review. Press “Show Group

Rcvrs.” Continue pressing the “Show Group Rcvrs” key and all the

receivers included in your selected group, will be displayed followed by

“End of List.” Do not skip this step.

Step 8

Saving Changes to the System

Press the key “Save Changes to System.” Display will read “Do you want

to save data to the System Key? Yes or No”, Press “Yes” The display will read

“Saving System Data” and the Yellow LED on the System Key will flash. When

the data transfer is completed the Yellow LED will stop flashing. The display will

read “Data Saved. Press any key to continue”. After pressing any key the display

will return to “Ready.”

Step 9

Exiting the system.

Press the “Quit” key on the overlay, display will read “Do you want to Quit, Yes or

No” Press “Yes” the display will prompt you to turn the control “Off” and remove

the System Key.

If any changes have been made to the System you will be prompted to “Save

Changes”.

After all equipment is programmed, install the receivers per the Scoreboard

Installation Instructions. Proceed with the operational testing.

Troubleshooting

Problem

MPCW-6 display reads; “This control is unable to receive data. Please verify that

any Receivers you are attempting to use are turned on, then cycle the power on

this control.

Solution

This control has been turned on for over five minutes and no model code has

been entered. As an operational feature this control is using bandwidth that could

be used by other Nevco equipment. Either turn control off, if not needed, or turn

the control off then on. Wait for model code prompt and enter the desired model

code.

Problem

The System Key has been lost or has lost data.

Solution

To restore data from the controls permanent memory to a System Key, enter the

Model code 851 using any overlay. Prompts will instruct you to insert System Key

in either hand-held switch socket. The Yellow LED will flash while data is being

transferred. The Green LED on the System Key will illuminate when data is
