Industrial-Grade Timer for Tracking Units and Production Rates W/ Wired Keypad
The DC-25C-TERM-KEY-PACE Production Timer Counter is one of our standard products designed to help production facilities set and maintain the pace of their operations. This unit provides a simple and effective way to monitor the number of products made per second or the amount of time it takes to produce each unit, offering real-time feedback that helps teams improve workflow, consistency, and efficiency on the production floor.
This product is typically used by companies that need a pace counter to determine their production speed — whether that’s tracking how many units are produced per second or the number of seconds it takes to complete a unit. With its easy-to-use wired keypad controller, operators can program their desired timing intervals, pause or resume operations, and instantly view the rate of production through a bright LED display that can be seen clearly from up to 120 feet away.
How It Works
Once powered, the user can set the seconds per unit or the units per second using the wired keypad controller. The system’s intuitive design allows for quick setup and reliable performance throughout the production process.
Here’s how it functions in operation:
- The wired keypad controller connects directly into the enclosure via a terminal ID block for secure communication.
- The keypad includes numeric buttons (0–9) and several functional buttons:
- Set Seconds per Unit
- Set Units per Second
- Pause/Resume
- Enter/Start
- Users can set the timer to count up based on their preferred production rate. For example, if a facility wants to measure one unit every 10 seconds, they would press the “Seconds per Unit” button, input “10,” and press “Enter/Start.” Every 10 seconds, the display increments by one digit — indicating one completed unit.
- If a user prefers to measure how many units are produced per second, they can select “Units per Second,” input the desired rate (for instance, 5 units per second), and start the counter. The display will increment accordingly to show the rate of production in real time.
- The Pause/Resume feature allows operators to temporarily stop counting without resetting the values, ideal for short breaks or equipment checks.
Hardware and Design Features
Beyond its operational simplicity, the DC-25C-TERM-KEY-PACE is built to perform reliably in industrial environments. Its enclosure is made from 14-gauge aluminum with a fingerprint-resistant black powder-coated finish, offering both durability and a professional appearance.
Key hardware specifications include:
- Display size: 2.3 inches, viewable up to 120 ft
- Digit count: Four digits (counts up to 9999)
- Power type: 120 to 240 VAC wall adapter
- Controller: Wired 24-key keypad, pre-programmed with dedicated function buttons
The keypad’s ergonomic design makes inputting pace settings quick and efficient, minimizing downtime and simplifying daily production monitoring.
Applications
The DC-25C-TERM-KEY-PACE timer counter is widely used across:
- Assembly lines
- Packaging departments
- Manufacturing facilities
- Production testing stations
Any organization that needs to measure and maintain a consistent pace of production can benefit from integrating this device into their workflow. It provides a clear, reliable, and easily adjustable method for tracking performance, keeping teams synchronized, and helping supervisors identify process improvements.
Summary
The DC-25C-TERM-KEY-PACE Production Timer Counter is a dependable and efficient solution for maintaining production pace and monitoring output rates. With its durable build, high-visibility LED display, and wired keypad control system, it provides everything a facility needs to measure and improve production timing.
Whether your goal is to count the number of units made per second or to determine how long it takes to produce each unit, this timer counter delivers precise, consistent, and user-friendly performance — helping teams stay on track and meet production goals.
