A manufacturing operation recently ordered the DC-60-PACE-KEY-W-IN Production Pace Interval Timer Counter to provide a clear, easy-to-read way to monitor production pace and establish a target interval for completed units. Designed for applications where production output needs to be tracked against a defined time period, this four-digit LED display can be programmed to increment the displayed count at a specific interval, giving operators and production personnel a simple visual reference for the expected pace of work.
The DC-60-PACE-KEY-W-IN is designed around the concept of setting a production interval and allowing the display to automatically advance the target count as each interval is reached. For example, when the timer is programmed for 600 seconds, which equals 10 minutes, the display can increment by one every 10 minutes. The process can continue through the four-digit counting range, up to 9999, providing an ongoing indication of the expected number of units that should have been produced based on the selected production pace. The interval itself can be programmed for any value up to 9999 seconds, allowing the counter to be adapted to different production rates and operating requirements.
This functionality makes the display useful for production environments where maintaining a consistent pace is important. Rather than requiring personnel to manually calculate how many units should have been completed at a particular point in the work period, the DC-60-PACE-KEY-W-IN provides a continuously updated numerical reference. The displayed value can serve as a production pace benchmark that operators can compare with actual output, helping identify whether production is progressing according to the desired schedule.
The unit uses a 900 MHz RF wireless control system with a long-range operating distance of up to 1,500 feet. The included 24-key pre-programmed keypad allows the display settings to be entered wirelessly, while the keypad can also be customized to meet application-specific control requirements. Programming the display is accomplished by pressing the Set function, entering the required number, and pressing Enter. The control also allows the display to be switched between time and number formats by using the 00:00 or 0000 selection. In number format, leading zeros can be displayed, providing additional flexibility when the display is being used as a numerical production indicator.
Key product features include:
- Four-digit, 6-inch red LED numerical display
- Programmable production pace interval up to 9999 seconds
- Automatic count increment based on the selected time interval
- Four-digit counting capacity up to 9999
- 900 MHz RF wireless control
- Wireless operating range up to 1,500 feet
- 24-key programmable/customizable keypad
- Approximately 300-foot viewing distance
- Indoor-adjusted, sunlight-resistant red LEDs
- IP-66 outdoor wet-location waterproof enclosure
- Durable black powder-coated extruded aluminum housing
- 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz power connection
- Optional 12 VDC power available
The 6-inch red LED digits are constructed from individual 5 mm oval LEDs with a 110-degree by 40-degree viewing angle. The display is designed to remain highly visible across a production area, with a listed viewing distance of up to 300 feet. Its IP-66-rated extruded aluminum enclosure provides protection for demanding environments where exposure to moisture or other conditions could affect standard electronic displays.
For operations requiring a more detailed measurement of production performance, the DC-60-PACE-KEY-W-IN can also be incorporated into a system that displays production efficiency. An optional DC-25C-2-EFF-KEY-WR-PACE-SECONDS can be used to display efficiency as a percentage, allowing the production pace information to be paired with an efficiency measurement. This provides a broader view of production performance by showing not only the expected pace but also how actual operation compares with that target.
The DC-60-PACE-KEY-W-IN gives production environments a dedicated visual tool for establishing and maintaining a defined manufacturing pace. By combining programmable interval timing, automatic count advancement, long-range wireless control, large LED digits, and a rugged IP-66 enclosure, the display can provide a straightforward production reference for operators and supervisors who need to monitor expected output throughout an ongoing work period.
