Shot Clock: How do I be sure the penalty clock or shot clock doesn't lag behind game clock

Potential Symptoms

  • Why does penalty time or BB shot clock time appear to be delayed relative to main game clock?
  • Clocks appear out of sync.
  • Clocks appear to be almost a full one (1) second off.  But not a full second if I watch closely it is a tenth of a second difference.

 

Environment

  • Product:  Hockey Penalty Clock, BB Shot Clock
  • Component:
  • Control System:  All Sport console

Resolution

  • When an All Sport is set to use 10ths (tenths) of a second the penalty clock or shot clock will appear to lag behind the game time because the game clock will not show the 10ths of a second till it gets down to less than a minute.
  • The game clock decrements the game time after the first 10th of a second has elapsed the penalty clock does not use 10th of a second so it will not count down until after the first second has elapsed.
    • Example: Say the game time and penalty are both set at 2:00 when the first 10th of a second goes by the clock will be at 1:59.9 it will display 1:59 the penalty clock will show 2:00. At game time of 1:59.0 the penalty will show 1:59. At clock time 1:58.9 the clock will display 1:58 the penalty clock will be at 1:59.
