Setting DGT 3000

Sort:
Brexto

I just got a DGT 3000 as a gift. It is my first chess clock and seems more complicated that others I have used. I was wondering if anyone knows if it can be set for “30 moves in 90 minutes followed by an allegro control of 60 minutes. There will be a 5 second delay used for the entire game.”

It is impossible to set those clocks

Yes, the clock's manual settings allow you to set that time control (and just about any time control). The below YouTube video shows how to set a first time control of 40 moves in 80 minutes, followed by a sudden death time control of 30 minutes, with a 30 second US Delay for both time controls. You just need to modify your time settings accordingly.
