Once the BCS Court Light Controller has been installed by your electrician, you’re required to configure the controller by entering sets of command into the controller keypad.

By entering these commands you can:

• set the date & time of the controller, as well as the time zone
• set the turn on times for lights (monthly setting)
• set the courts to light relay mapping, allowing you to determine which light relays will activate for bookings
• and much more

The controller will have default values already set, for example, the default value for the ‘admin pin’ which is required to perform a command is, 1234.

Please refer to the table below for the list of commands.
