The control has a built in auxiliary timer that can be used for many purposes. It can be configured to count up or down and it can run continuously or only when the main time is running. It can be displayed on the control by pressing the time key twice in succession. It can also be configured to display on an auxiliary time display if one is part of your system. Some uses for the auxiliary timer include timing field or facility usage, or it can be used to determining how far into a game a certain event happened.
Answering YES will setup the timer to count down (99 hours: 59 minutes: 59 seconds maximum).
Answering NO will setup the timer to count up (59 minutes: 59 seconds maximum).
Answering YES will setup the timer to start and stop with the action of the same switch that controls the main time.
Answering NO will setup the timer to run continuously regardless of the switch position.
A bookmark is like a picture or snapshot of all the data and configuration settings in the control. When you go to a bookmark, the control is restored to where it was at the time the bookmark was saved.
Bookmarks can be edited by going to the bookmark, making the changes needed, then saving the bookmark again using the same bookmark number or a different one.
Five separate bookmarks are available and each can be reused as desired.
If you try to save to a used bookmark, you will be warned and given a chance to abort the procedure.
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cannot Save a Bookmark | Time is running. | Turn time off before saving a bookmark. |
| Cannot subtract from score | Score keys will add only. | Press SET then the score key and enter the correct score directly. |
| When I try to enter more than 6 weight classes on either SD6 panel the 6th one always gets overwritten. | Each SD6 panel can display up to 6 weight classes at a time. | After the earlier classes have wrestled, edit them to show the remaining weight classes. Note: To edit a weight class use the Scan key to display the weight class on the control, then press the Enter/Edit key and enter the new weight class. Note: You can return to displaying a replaced weight class by editing any of the displayed classes. The scores are saved and will be displayed again when the weight class is displayed. |
| When I enter a 2 digit weight class it does not get saved and it is not displayed on the SD6 panel. | Entry of the weight class was not completed properly. | When entering a 2 digit weight class, you must complete the entry by pressing "Yes". |
| When I enter the model code, I get the message "MODEL CODE IS INVALID". | Control does not recognize this model code. Requires MPC-6 Rev. R3.2 or later or MPCW-6 Rev. R3.2 or later. | Make sure you are using the correct control. Use model code 301 to check the control revision number. Contact NEVCO for a new control or a revision update. |
If the problem persists please contact the Nevco Service Department.

(If equipped on your SD or PTF)
The captions have been programmed at the factory with appropriate text for Basketball and Volleyball. Upon starting the control the Electronic Captions will automatically display the default text for the model code entered into the MPC control. For example, running 343 Basketball will cause the electronic captions on the SD7-9 to read "Player Points Fouls". Running a 585 will cause the electronic captions to switch to "Player Kills Digs".
The pre-programmed electronic captions can be overridden by the use of the UVW (456) model code. This model code is used to program Nevco's Electronic Team Name (ETN) product, but can also be used to program stat display electronic captions.
See the following page for a worksheet to help in designing your custom captions.
To create a custom caption:
- Enter the model code for the intended sport, answer the necessary questions, and make sure the panels are working (lets the Electronic Captions know which model code the custom text string is to be used with).
- Turn the control OFF.
- Replace the overlay with the special "UVW(456) overlay.
- Start the control and enter model code UVW(456).
- Press ENTER to accept the default "GUESTS" text string and begin entering your custom text string in the home (H) string area.
- Follow the instructions that came with the UVW(456) overlay to enter the special custom text.
- When satisfied, press ENTER to accept the custom string and send it to the Electronic Captions.
For SD7-5 (48 Pixel Display) (programmed as the Home text area):
Turn the control OFF and switch back to the overlay for the intended sport and enter the model code. The custom caption will be displayed.
For PTF7 and SD7-9 (80 Pixel Display) (programmed as the Home and Guest text areas):
The characters just entered into the home (H) area become the left part of the custom string. Enter the right part in the guest (G) string area. When satisfied, press ENTER and wait while the right part of the custom string is accepted and sent to the panel. Turn the control OFF and switch back to the overlay for the intended sport and enter the model code. The custom caption will be displayed.
Each time the control is started with this same model code the custom caption will be displayed.
Please use this worksheet to help design your custom captions. The diagrams below represent the data input screens displayed on the control when the UVW (456) model code is entered. Each diagram illustrates the portions of the input screens that are displayed by the Electronic Captions. Please use only the diagram that applies to your stat panels. Note the 2 suggested alternate captions for volleyball model code (585) and the suggested wrestling caption* for use with model code (149).

ALTERNATE TIME CONTROL SWITCHES (keys): Located on the keypad, these 2 keys, TIME ON and TIME OFF, may be used instead of the Hand Held Time Control Switch.
AUTO HORN: Sounds for a minimum of 2 seconds when the main time has expired or reached the stop time. (Can be disabled from the control)
AUX TIMER: An auxiliary timer, separate from the main timer, that can be configured to count up or down and to start and stop with the time control switch or run continuously. It can be viewed on the control (press the time key twice) or on an AUXILIARY TIME DISPLAY. Some uses for the aux timer include timing field or facility usage, or determining how far into a game a certain event happened.
AUXILIARY TIME DISPLAY: Consisting only of a timer, it can display the main time, the AUX TIME or the Chronometer (Time of Day Clock). Auxiliary Time Display models include: 9410, 9510, 9405 and 9505.
BATTERY: Battery powered memory saves the settings and data in the control in case of power failure. It also maintains the accuracy of the CHRONOMETER when the control is unplugged.
BEEPER: Confirms each key press and alerts operator when a special event such as time expired or an Entry Error has occurred.
BOOKMARK: Saves the current control settings and data so it can be easily recalled later. (5 Bookmarks are available)
BRIGHTNESS LEVEL: The scoreboard can be set to bright or dim for best viewing. Indoor scoreboards default to bright; outdoor scoreboards default to dim.
CHRONOMETER: Time of Day Clock. Once the correct time has been set, the accuracy of the Chronometer is maintained even while the control power is unplugged. During normal operation, the Chronometer can be displayed on the control by pressing a single key. This key can be armed so that when pressed, the Time of Day is also displayed on the scoreboard.
DISPLAY: A 16 character display on the control prompts the operator for input and can monitor the scoreboard data.
ENTRY ERROR: A visual and audible warning that an invalid action was attempted. Its normal duration is 2 seconds however you may interrupt it and continue immediately.
HAND HELD TIME CONTROL SWITCH: A hand held switch with a coiled cord that plugs into either side of the control. When connected, the alternate time control switches (keys) are disabled. (Makes it easier for another person to control the main time or sound the horn).
INTERVAL HORN: A horn that sounds repeatedly at preset intervals throughout the game. Its primary use is to signal when little league hockey teams should rotate to the court. The Interval Horn has been replaced by a more versatile SEGMENT TIMER. (See Segment Timer)
MODEL CODE: A 3 character code found on the OVERLAY that when entered into the control, sets up the control for a particular scoreboard model and sport or special function.
OPTIONS: Settings that determine how the scoreboard system operates.
OVERLAY: A flat plastic panel that fits over and around the keys on the control. Tabs at the top and bottom hold it in place. Each overlay provides the proper labeling for each key and a three character Model Code. A brief set of operating instructions is printed on the back of each overlay; you may make copies if you desire. When you want to change to a different sport, install the correct overlay and enter the new Model Code.
SEGMENT TIMER: Sometimes called Practice Timer, it allows a list of time segments to be programmed into the control. The list can then be used for a practice routine or drill. When started, the first segment on the list is loaded into the main timer and starts counting down. When zero is reached, the horn sounds and the next segment is loaded and begins counting down with no intervention needed.
SUB HORN: When armed, waits until the main time has been stopped, then sounds automatically to alert the officials that a player is waiting to be substituted into the game.
TENTH SECOND SHIFT TIMER: Automatically shifts from displaying minutes and seconds to seconds and tenths of seconds during the last minute of count down time. (May be disabled if desired)
TIME OUT TIMER: Programmable for different time out lengths and with optional warning horn and an option to display the Time Out time remaining on the scoreboard. (Ten different time out timers are available. Timer 0 is preset to 30 seconds with a warning horn at 10 seconds and is not displayed on scoreboard.)
