MPCW-7 Volleyball

Introduction#

About the MPCW7 Volleyball Control#

The MPCW7 Volleyball Control is a wireless desktop scoreboard controller designed for operating Nevco volleyball scoreboards.

It communicates with one or more wireless receivers installed at the scoreboard, eliminating the need for a wired connection between the operator position and the scoreboard.

The MPCW7 is a tabletop (desktop) unit intended for use at a scorer's table or any fixed operator position within wireless range of the scoreboard.

It features a bright 16-character LED display for high-visibility feedback, and a two-section keypad layout with a sport-specific overlay that labels every key for volleyball operation.

Note: Upon first power-up, the MPCW7 is factory-configured to operate as a volleyball control with a 27xx scoreboard.

Note: Some features shown on the keyboard overlay may not be available on the particular scoreboard model being operated.

Hardware Description#

The MPCW7 control includes the following physical components:

Tip: The Power On/Off switch on the control does not affect scoreboard power. The scoreboard and its receiver(s) should remain powered at all times during operation.

Compatible Scoreboard Models#

These instructions apply to the following Nevco scoreboard models.

The MPCW7 must have its scoreboard model set correctly to communicate with the scoreboard being operated.

Refer to the Scoreboard Model section for instructions on selecting the correct model.

Note: If using stat panels, the model "SD Stats" must be selected in the OPTIONS Model menu.

Note: Some features may not be available on all models listed below.

Incandescent Scoreboards

Quick Start#

First-Time Setup#

Before using the MPCW7 for the first time — or when setting it up to operate a new scoreboard — complete the following steps in order:

1. Install the sport overlay — Place the Volleyball overlay on the control. Tabs at the top and bottom hold it in place.
2. Set the scoreboard model — Press OPTIONS until Model >> displays, press YES, then press OPTIONS to scroll to the correct scoreboard series. Press YES to confirm.

Note: If using stat panels, the model "SD Stats" must be selected.

1. Set up wireless — Program the receiver into the control via the OPTIONS > Wireless menu (see Receiver Setup).
2. Create and save a Profile — Save the model and wireless settings to a profile so they are recalled automatically at the start of each game.

Tip: It is strongly recommended to save all settings to a Profile immediately after initial setup. Profile 94 is the factory default for Volleyball. See Profiles for full details.

Starting a New Game#

Press SCROLL PROFILES and then YES to load a profile. Loading a profile applies that profile's settings. To start a new game, use the NEW GAME OR SPORT key (see below).

1. Press SCROLL PROFILES. The MPCW7 will display the current profile name.
2. Continue pressing SCROLL PROFILES to scroll through saved profiles, or begin typing the profile name using the keyboard.

1. Letters are on the right side of each key.

1. All sport names are entered in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.

1. Once the control can distinguish the sport entered, it will auto-complete the rest.

1. If the wrong entry is made, press NO/CANCEL and begin again.

1. Press YES when the desired profile is displayed. The control will load that profile and start a new game.

Note: Starting a new game resets the scoreboard to default values for the loaded profile. All scores, sets won, and time outs are cleared.

Tip: Keep good notes on your profile numbers and names. A Profile Worksheet is provided in the Appendix of the original operator manual for this purpose.

Default Profiles#

A default profile for each sport is programmed at the factory for your scoreboard model.

Correcting a Saved Profile#

1. Load the profile in question.
2. Change the setting.
3. Save the profile again using the same profile number.

Backup / Restore#

The Backup/Restore option within the Profiles menu is used at the factory to output the contents of the profile and wireless data.

This function is not intended for routine operator use.

Receiver Setup#

Overview#

The MPCW7 can operate one or more selectable wireless receivers depending on the installation's needs.

Receivers can be linked or unlinked depending on the operational requirements at game time.

Important: It is strongly recommended to save wireless settings in each profile used. Different wireless settings should be saved to different profiles. A receiver must be programmed into the MPCW7 before it can be linked for use.

Scoreboard Model Selection#

The MPCW7 must have its scoreboard model configured to match the scoreboard being operated.

Note: If using stat panels, the model "SD Stats" must be selected. It is highly recommended to create a profile to save this setting if the MPCW7 is going to be used to control multiple board models.

MPCW7 Scoreboard Model Correlation for Volleyball#

Use the following table to determine which model to select in the MPCW7 for your Nevco scoreboard.

Note: The control is factory-configured to operate as a volleyball control with a 27xx scoreboard. Confirm the model setting matches your installation.

Selecting a Scoreboard Model#

1. Press OPTIONS until display reads Model >>.
2. Press YES to enter the Scoreboard Model menu.
3. Press OPTIONS until the desired scoreboard series is displayed.
4. Press YES to accept/enable. An asterisk (*) indicates the selected model.

Note: The scoreboard model should be set before connecting the control to a scoreboard.

Quick Link/Unlink (Setup Procedure)#

If the receiver has already been added to the MPCW7, use this procedure to link or unlink it before a game:

1. Press OPTIONS until display reads Wireless >>.
2. Press YES. Display reads Link Receiver.
3. Press YES. Display reads the first receiver in the list, e.g. Rec Name 1 *.

1. An asterisk (*) next to the receiver name means the receiver is linked.

1. Press YES again to toggle the link state for that receiver.
2. To link or unlink another receiver: Press OPTIONS to cycle through available receivers.
3. Press YES to link that receiver.

Wireless Options Menu#

To access the full Wireless options:

1. Press OPTIONS until display reads Wireless >>.
2. Press YES to enter. Display reads Link Receiver.

Add Receiver#

The MPCW7 stores receivers it uses in memory.

Add a new receiver when a new scoreboard installation occurs, after maintenance, or when adding a new component.

Note: Have the receiver's six-digit serial number ready before beginning.

1. From the Link Receiver screen, press OPTIONS until display reads Add Receiver.
2. Press YES. Display reads Receiver# ◄.
3. Enter the six-digit receiver serial number.
4. The display shows _ ▲.
5. Enter a receiver name using the letter and number keys (e.g., VB GYM 1 ▲).

1. It is recommended to name the receiver according to what it controls.

Note: Once a new receiver is added it is added to all profiles as linked. If this is not desirable, save each profile according to the receiver settings needed for that profile.

Link Receiver#

To link or unlink a receiver:

1. If using profiles, load the desired profile first.
2. Press OPTIONS until Wireless >> displays. Press YES. Display reads Link Receiver.
3. Press YES. Display shows the first receiver added, e.g. VB GYM 1 *.
4. Press YES to link or unlink. An asterisk designates a linked state.
5. If more receivers are stored, press OPTIONS to cycle through each.
6. Repeat pressing YES on each receiver until all are at the desired state.
7. Save the current profile.
8. Repeat for all profiles with different wireless settings.

Delete Receiver#

Warning: Deleted receivers are removed from the control entirely, including from all profiles. To make a receiver inactive for certain situations without deleting it, use the Link Receiver process instead.

1. From the Link Receiver screen, press OPTIONS until display reads Delete Receiver.
2. Press YES. Display shows the first receiver.
3. If this is not the receiver to delete, press OPTIONS until the correct receiver displays.
4. Press YES. The receiver is deleted from the MPCW7.

Note: Once deleted, the receiver is removed from all profiles. To restore a mistakenly deleted receiver, use Add Receiver and Link Receiver as needed.
