Shot Clock Operation#

Other Operating Considerations#

Restarting the MPC Control#

Once the shot clock system is activated and the shot time entered, it will remain active even if the RCS-6 is disconnected. It will also remain active if the control is turned off and restarted "WHERE TURNED OFF LAST" even if the RCS-6 is disconnected.

Changing the RCS-6 Settings#

To deactivate the shot clock system or to change the shot time or out of bounds reset time, the control must be turned off and back on and the model code entered anew. (See: "Getting Started")

Trouble Shooting#

• The green LED on the RCS-6 will blink once per second if the system is operating correctly. If it stays on constantly or does not flash there is a problem with the system. Refer to the Trouble Shooting Guide located in the scoreboard Installation and Service Manual.
• If the control is not recognizing the RCS-6, try unplugging the RCS-6 and then plug it in again.
