Our latest custom order, the DC-405T-DN-W-NEG, is a purpose-built 4-inch high digital timer specifically designed for environments where clear visibility, versatile control, and status signaling are essential. This five-digit timer includes a unique fifth digit that displays a minus sign when the countdown transitions through zero and begins counting back upward, providing intuitive tracking of both countdown and elapsed overtime.

What makes this configuration especially unique is the integration of multiple control and alerting systems tailored to the customer’s needs. Here’s an overview of the key features and functions:

Key Highlights of the DC-405T-DN-W-NEG:

  • 4-Inch High, Five-Digit Display
    Designed for visibility in industrial or commercial environments. The fifth digit automatically switches to a minus sign when the timer crosses zero and begins to count back up.
  • ANDON Light Integration
    Two separate ANDON lights provide visual indicators in different locations. These lights are configured with audible and visual cues that signal operational states:
    • Lights activate on countdown start.
    • Change to flashing red when the timer goes negative.
    • Work in tandem with the End of Period alert system for added visibility.
  • Redundant Control Systems
    This display includes:
    • Wireless Controls (2.4 GHz)
      Offers up to 150 feet of range, enabling remote operation in large facilities.
    • Remote 40mm Pushbutton Stations
      Includes Start, Stop, and Reset functions.
    • Top-Mounted Manual Controls
      Local pushbuttons directly on top of the display for convenient on-unit operation.
  • Adjustable End of Period Alert
    At zero, the system triggers a configurable End of Period response:
    • Includes both a visual and audible alert.
    • Buzzer and light activation time can be adjusted.
    • Helps signal time completion or transition to negative timing.
  • Flexible Power & Connectivity
    Powered by 24V DC with rear cable exit as requested. The ANDON light extensions include 25 feet of cable to allow for flexible installation at key visibility points.

Using the DC-405T-DN-W-NEG: A Practical Demonstration

To show just how functional and intuitive this timer is, let’s walk through a typical usage scenario:

  1. Setting the Timer
    Using the top-mounted buttons, the timer is configured for a 5-second countdown.
  2. Start Sequence
    Once started:
    • The ANDON lights turn on.
    • The display begins to count down.
    • When the timer reaches zero, it immediately transitions into negative time.
    • The minus sign activates, the display begins flashing, and the ANDON lights switch to flashing red.
    • The adjustable End of Period alert activates, signaling that the countdown has completed.
  3. Control Options
    The timer can be stopped using:
    • The top-mounted pushbuttons.
    • The remote wired 40mm buttons.
    • The wireless handheld remote controller.
  4. Reset and Restart
    • The system resets to the last programmed value (in this case, 5 seconds).
    • You can also switch between seconds and minutes during setup, depending on timing needs.

This custom-configured DC-405T-DN-W-NEG is a prime example of our ability to adapt standard timer displays into powerful, multi-functional tools designed for real-world industrial applications. With redundant control access, wireless capabilities, and high-visibility visual and audio alerts, this timer is a comprehensive solution for operations requiring precision, safety, and clarity.
