Deck Clock
Product Overview
Deck clocks feature a sturdy, ruggedized polyethylene indoor/outdoor enclosure that is
water and sun resistant, and corrosion free. The portable clocks have batteries, battery
charging circuits and low battery/charging indicators. An ambient light sensor detects
external light and shadows and adjusts the brightness of the digits for optimal intensity.
The built-in handle allows for easy carrying from point to point. The clocks are cleverly
designed to prevent tipping.
When wirelessly controlled, the unit is controlled by a certified radio with an internal
antenna which is protected from damage. Deck clocks can receive scoreboard data from a
wireless tabletop controller, a wireless handheld controller, or a sports timer (System 6 or
System 5) running Water Polo. When they receive scoreboard data, deck clocks display
game time on the 5-inch digits and shot time on the 10-inch digits. When they are not
receiving scoreboard data, they display time of day (hours and minutes on the 5-inch
digits, and seconds on the 10-inch digits. In time of day mode, they make excellent pace
clocks, automatically synchronizing wirelessly with each other and CTS’s slim pace
clocks and scoreboards set to the same channel and PAN ID.
The internal, protected horn creates multiple customizable sounds with different tones
and volumes selectable through the tabletop controller. This allows the same physical
horn to serve multiple functions (e.g., both game horn and shot clock horn) and have
different sounds for each function.
