Scoreboard Control Options
Direct wired controls are attached to your scoreboard through a cable conduit run under the field or court. This option offers the most secure connection available, but direct wire can be difficult to repair or replace if damaged.
Battery-powered models provide flexibility. You can use them indoors or outdoors in areas with limited electrical connections. The internal batteries typically run for about six hours. No need to carry a battery pack!
Wireless controls are versatile and secure. They are a great option for scoring on established playing fields where trenching for a direct wire connection is undesirable. They also provide flexible control indoors.

Wireless Control Technology
Many manufacturers--including Fair-Play--use spread spectrum technology in their wireless controls to avoid interference from other electronic devices. However, there are differences in how the signals are transmitted. Fair-Play uses direct sequence technology designed for sports applications.
Direct sequence transmission locks onto the receiver at start-up and sends thousands of radio signals over one radio channel to the scoreboard. The radio signal travels over a longer range--important for open playing fields--and the radio signal remains consistent to ensure game clock accuracy.
