visualization of the vote of a remote control, without

'Features' key of the 0 remote control the immediate

as it is received, or else, after receiving the last vote:

keep pressed the 'ACQ' button;
press the 'Features' key of the 0 remote control
and then the numerical key '5': the acquisition of
the command is highlighted by the appearance of
the start-up indications for 2.5 seconds; if the
immediate visualization of the vote is chosen, the
display associated with the 5
numbers "88", otherwise the following "--"
symbol appears;
release the 'ACQ' button.

sending of the judges' votes,
visualization of the result,
resetting the display.

of the vote is indicated by the appearance of the
letter "A" on the relative display.
4.3 R
After receiving the last vote KPB visualizes the
votes of all the judges and performs the calculation
and visualization of the result, in accordance with
the selected mode. When the result has more than
three digits, the integer is shown for 2 seconds
followed by the decimal point and a horizontal line,
then the decimal point followed by the decimal
digits are shown for 2 more seconds, and finally the
display disappears for 1 second before taking down
the complete sequence [ for instance 3.596 is
presented as "3.-" followed by ".596"].

RESETTING THE VOTE
Pressing the 'RESET' key of the 0 remote control,
all of the scores and relative results are cancelled;
this is useful at the beginning of a new competition.

NTERFERENCES IN VOTING
6 10
TO
Since the transmission of the remote control
requires 30-40 ms, if two or more judges send the
vote during this interval, the KPB does not receive
the scores and the "A" letter does not appear on
the scoreboard display; in this case the judges
need to send their vote once more.
4.6 M
Since the KPB only receives data from the acquired
remote controls which are identified by a single
code, it is possible to use several scoreboards in
the same area without the risk of incorrect votes or
interferences between scoreboards: the sending
of a vote by one judge from two different
remote controls is not possible.

LAVE MODE OPERATIONS
Every KPB can work in Slave mode, which
allows:
to show the votes of judges 6-10, or
to show the result and the votes of judges 1-5.
The second case is useful to allow the
visualization of the votes in different positions and
perspectives regarding the central scoreboard:
this allows the use of several scoreboards in final
competitions, previously dedicated to single
exhibitions. The Slave mode is automatically
identified by the scoreboards when it receives
valid data through the serial port, placed on the
left side of the case.
5.1 M
Each KPB normally works as the Master, and it
sends data from the serial port in this mode
(SERIAL OUTPUT); connecting this serial to a
