Product Overview; Scoreboard Set-Up - RaceAmerica 6428E Manual

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

RaceAmerica Drag Race Scoreboards are a
microprocessor controlled system based upon the
7-segment format display digit using the latest
technology Ultra-Bright LEDs. The scoreboard
utilizes a wireless link to receive data to be
displayed. The wireless link is preconfigured
for use with RaceAmerica two lane drag timing
systems (models 2650 XL Advanced, 2900/2910
XL Professional, and models 2700/2710 XL
Wireless). Each scoreboard contains its own
microprocessor to analyze the data string received
and correctly display the desired race results (e.g.
left/right lane, speed, ET, etc.).
Race results to be displayed are selected
through DIP switches located on the rear panel of
the scoreboard or configured remotely with the
XLscore Pro software and/or 2700 XL wireless
console.
All Scoreboards can display Reaction
Time, Dial-Ins, Speed and ET, Time of Day and
a countdown clock for intermission sessions.
Multiple race results can be displayed in sequence
as a race is run; Dial-Ins, then RT, and lastly speed
and ET. A five inch scoreboard can be used as a
Dial-In board at the starting line with or without
larger scoreboard systems. Brightness control is
available with 2700/2710/2900/2910 systems.
A separate WIN light option is available
for each scoreboard system. The WIN light is
connected to the scoreboard with a 10ft cable
for power and data. The WIN light will flash for
the winning lane. Wireless Win Lights are also
available.
Data communication to all models is via
internal wireless data link units (requires timer side
wireless transmitter). Multiple scoreboards can be
daisy chained down the track for spectator viewing
and controlled from a single wireless transmission.
Scoreboards are available in single or dual
line formats in fifteen and twenty-four inch digit
heights for viewing up to 1000 ft/301M away.
