If you’re looking for a reliable and efficient way to time tasks hands-free, the DC-40T-DN-BCD-FOOT-EOP from DC-Digital is a product worth exploring. This custom-built countdown timer is specifically designed to bring precision, speed, and simplicity to your workflow — especially in fast-paced or industrial environments where every second counts.
What Is the DC-40T-DN-BCD-FOOT-EOP?
At its core, this is a hands-free digital countdown timer featuring a large, 4-inch LED display, capable of being seen clearly from up to 200 feet away. This makes it ideal for spacious areas like gymnasiums, auditoriums, or large factory floors.
The key components of this model include:
- BCD rotary switches on top of the display for quickly setting your desired countdown time (up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds).
- A durable foot pedal switch, which performs both the reset and start functions—eliminating the need to touch the display.
- A modular design that allows for straightforward mounting and internal access.
- Compatibility with 24V DC or standard 110V AC power depending on your needs.
How It Works
This timer operates in a reset-and-start loop using the foot switch:
- Set your countdown time using the BCD rotary switches (example: 5:00).
- Press the foot pedal to start the countdown.
- When the clock hits zero, press the foot pedal again to reset it to the originally set value and start the countdown anew.
This method is perfect for timing repetitive tasks where speed, precision, and ease of use are essential. The timer cannot be stopped manually unless it hits zero, which ensures a consistent rhythm of operation.
Key Features at a Glance:
- Large 4-inch LED digits for high visibility.
- Foot-activated control for hands-free operation.
- Rotary BCD switch configuration for custom time settings.
- Wall or junction box mounting options with keyhole knockouts.
- Internal terminal block allowing for 24V DC contact closures or PNP signals (5–30V).
- Aluminum enclosure (0.063″) for durability and lightweight installation.
Electrical and Installation Details
Internally, the terminal block offers standard input terminations:
- Reset to BCD value
- Start
- Optional: Start/Stop depending on configuration.
The unit typically ships with a 60mm palm switch in a weatherproof enclosure, and includes 25 feet of cable. If your facility uses its own power supply, the DC-40T-DN-BCD-FOOT-EOP can be switched from the included wall adapter to a 24V power input, requiring only 700mA.
Additionally, there are multiple knockout locations—two in the back and one on each side—allowing flexibility in routing your input and power cabling.
Use Cases
This timer is ideal for:
- Production line cycle timing
- Repetitive training drills
- Timed maintenance intervals
- Testing durations in quality assurance labs
Companies like Delta Faucets have recently integrated the DC-40T-DN-BCD-FOOT-EOP into their operational workflow, using it to maintain speed and consistency in task timing.
Alternate Timer Functions Available
While this model is designed for a simple reset/start pedal sequence, DC-Digital also offers alternate activation modes, such as the thrice-press functionality, where:
- Press one starts the countdown,
- Press two pauses the timer,
- Press three resets it to the original value.
This provides even greater flexibility for tasks that may require mid-cycle adjustments.
If your business or facility needs a custom-built digital timer, DC-Digital can manufacture a solution tailored to your process. We’re proud to deliver precision and durability in every product.
