Countdown Timer

This specialized countdown timer is designed for rugged, high-moisture environments where durability and reliability are critical. Housed in a robust NEMA 4X enclosure, this unit is ideal for industrial applications such as managing forklift traffic between buildings and automatic door openings.

This particular custom order was developed to help the customer control how long their facility doors remain open as forklifts pass through. Once a forklift activates the door, the timer counts down from a preset value — commonly 30 seconds for this application. Operators have that set time to move through the door safely. As an added safety feature, when only five seconds remain, the timer begins to flash, providing a clear visual warning that the door is about to close.

One standout feature of the DC-40T-DN-BCD-NEMA is its simple, precise time setting capability. The countdown can be configured for any duration up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds using easily accessible BCD rotary switches. These switches are located inside the enclosure for protection, yet the enclosure is straightforward to open — just flip the latches, lift the cover, adjust the switches with a flat-head screwdriver, and you’re ready to go.

Key highlights of this custom build include:

  • NEMA 4X enclosure: Excellent for high-moisture or washdown areas.
  • 4-inch high LED display: Clear and bright for visibility in industrial spaces.
  • Flashing warning at 5 seconds: Enhances safety and awareness.
  • 9-foot, three-prong NEMA 5-15 power cord: Flexible installation with 120–240 VAC or 24 VDC power options.
  • Sealed cable glands: Ensure waterproof integrity where the cables enter the enclosure.
  • Tool-less mounting tabs: Four corner metal tabs make installation quick and secure.
  • Proudly USA-made: All programming, circuit boards, aluminum enclosures, and final assembly are done right here in the United States.

It’s important to note that while the NEMA 4X enclosure itself is sourced externally, every other aspect of the DC-40T-DN-BCD-NEMA — from the high-visibility display to the custom programming — is designed and manufactured in-house at our USA facility. This allows us to tailor every detail to your exact requirements, whether that’s the countdown duration, enclosure type, or special alert features like the flashing final countdown.

This forklift door timing solution is just one example of the many ways we partner with our customers to develop practical, reliable, and rugged USA-made custom products. If you’re looking for a way to control timed access, manage workflow, or simply enhance safety in demanding conditions, the DC-40T-DN-BCD-NEMA is a proven, purpose-built option.
