Red Moon Marketing has reached out to DC-Digital for a method of bringing awareness to the importance of recycling. This custom competition timer system featuring the DC-60T-UP-TERM and DC-80-Static-Key is designed to bring speed, accuracy, and excitement to hands-on sorting challenges like recycling games. Built specifically for head-to-head competition, this setup allows two contestants to race against each other while also competing for the best time of the day, displayed prominently on a master unit.

At the start of each round, both timers are triggered simultaneously using a common start function, ensuring a fair and synchronized beginning for both participants. Each contestant is tasked with separating a mixed set of aluminum cans and plastic bottles into their correct designated holes. As the timers begin counting in seconds and hundredths of a second, precision and speed become critical. Once a contestant completes the sorting task, they press their dedicated 60 mm stop switch, instantly recording their final time.

A built-in audible tone is triggered for approximately three seconds when a player finishes, signaling completion to the other contestant and the operator. This adds a clear and engaging indicator during gameplay, especially in busy or noisy environments.

The system then compares results, identifying the fastest time. That winning time can be manually entered into the larger 8-inch master display using the included keypad interface. Once entered, the score is stored in nonvolatile memory, ensuring it remains saved throughout the day until a new, faster time is achieved.

Key features and capabilities include:

• Dual independent timers for simultaneous competition
• High-precision time tracking in seconds and hundredths of a second
• Large 8-inch master display to showcase the best time of the day
• Simple keypad entry system for updating top scores
• Nonvolatile memory retention for daily high score tracking
• Common start function for synchronized gameplay
• Individual stop switches for accurate contestant control
• Audible completion alert with adjustable volume

Designed with durability and flexibility in mind, the system is housed in rugged aluminum enclosures suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. A brightness adjustment switch allows the displays to remain clearly visible even in direct sunlight, making it ideal for outdoor events, trade shows, or competitions.

Installation and setup are straightforward. The units include mounting rails for secure placement, and all connections are clearly labeled inside the enclosure. The stop switches and keypad interface connect via terminal blocks and RS485 communication, ensuring reliable performance across all components.

Additional highlights:

• Indoor/outdoor brightness control for optimal visibility
• Rust-resistant aluminum construction
• Clearly labeled terminal connections for easy wiring
• RS485 communication for keypad and control integration
• Modular design for clean and organized installation

Operation is simple and efficient. With a single press, the system resets and starts both timers for the next round. Contestants focus on sorting, hit their stop button when finished, and the operator records the fastest time. This streamlined process keeps the game moving quickly while maintaining accurate and competitive results.

Whether used for recycling education, promotional events, or interactive competitions, this custom timer solution delivers a reliable and engaging experience that highlights both performance and sustainability.
