This page is about how to operate the A-1400 Series controller made by Rotomatic.

Power Up
Make sure the controller is plugged in.

Setting Time
Press the [MINUTE ADVANCE] button under the TIMER heading repeatedly until desired time is reached. The first time the button is pressed the clock will show 30:00. Each time the button is pressed the minute value will decrease by one.

To reset the clock to 0:00, press the [RESET] button under the TIMER heading. Note that doing this will sound the horn.

1/10 of a Second
There is no 1/10 of a second on this controller.

Setting Period
Press the [PERIOD] button to change the period. Each button push will increment the period by one until period 4 is reached, after which the period number will loop back to 1 when [PERIOD] is pushed again.

Running Clock
After setting the clock using the [MINUTE ADVANCE] button, push the [START] button under the TIMER heading to "prepare" the clock to run for the period.

Then, flip the [MAIN TIME] switch to ON to start the clock. To stop the clock, flip the switch to OFF.

Adding Goals
Under the [HOME SCORE] or [VISISTORS SCORE] heading, push the [UNITS] or [TENS] button to adjust the score. The [UNITS] button will increase the individual points digit by one each time it is pressed, while the [TENS] button will increase the tens digit every time it is pressed.

Removing goals
The [UNITS] and [TENS] buttons only allow addition of those respective digits on the scoreboard. To decrease these digits, you'll need to repeatedly push the appropriate button to loop the digit up through 9 and back to 0, then add the appropriate number of points.

Adding a Penalty
Under the [PEANLTY] heading on the home or visitors side of the controller, press the [MINUTE ADVANCE] button repeatedly until the desired penalty length is shown. The time will start at 9:00 and decreased by one minute every time the [MINUTE ADVANCE] button is pressed. Note that each side has two sets of buttons for controlling penalties, one for each penalty line. Also note that this controller only allows setting of penalty lengths with whole minute (:00) values.

Then, press the [START] button next to the corresponding [MINUTE ADVANCE] button to "prepare" the penalty clock to run. After [START] is pressed, the penalty clock will be controlled along with the game clock using the [MAIN TIME] switch.

Editing a Penalty
To remove time from a penalty, you may use the [MINUTE ADVANCE] button to remove time in one minute increments.

You may also clear a penalty by pressing the corresponding [RESET TIME] button.

Removing a Penalty
