This custom DC-256T-UP Stainless Steel Up Timer is being shipped to the VA Medical Center, a hospital operating under the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, where accurate and highly visible time tracking is essential for patient care and operational efficiency. This timer is designed to clearly display the duration of medical procedures such as surgical operations, therapy sessions, diagnostic testing, and other time-sensitive clinical activities. By providing staff with a real-time visual reference of elapsed time, the DC-256T-UP helps support consistency, accountability, and improved workflow in demanding healthcare environments.

Installation is straightforward and practical for hospital use. The unit is powered by plugging the included 120 VAC power cord into a standard wall outlet, then securely mounting the enclosure onto a wall using the integrated rear mounting tabs. Once installed, the timer is operated using a remote controller, allowing staff to control timing functions without needing to physically access the display. This makes it ideal for sterile or restricted environments where minimizing contact is critical.

What sets this model apart from our aluminum versions is its stainless steel construction and IP66-rated enclosure. The DC-256T-UP is built to withstand harsh conditions, making it suitable for operating rooms, washdown areas, or even outdoor use in rainy or wet environments. The enclosure is constructed from tough 316L, 16-gauge stainless steel and is surface-mounted for durability and stability. Measuring 16 inches wide, 4 inches tall, and 2 inches deep, the enclosure is modified with XPLE gasketing material to ensure a watertight seal and long-term reliability.

The high-visibility LED display features 2.3-inch digits that can be clearly viewed from up to 120 feet away. With six total digits, the timer can display elapsed time up to 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. The timer counts upward and includes hundredths of a second on the last two digits, allowing for precise tracking. Hours are displayed automatically once an hour has elapsed using shift digit technology, ensuring clarity without sacrificing readability.

The DC-256T-UP is designed for simple, intuitive operation. Using the remote controller, staff can start the timer with a single press of the Start/Stop button, immediately beginning the count-up process. Pressing the same button again pauses the timer, and the Reset button instantly clears the display back to zero. This makes it easy to track individual procedures, stop timing when needed, and reset for the next session without delay.

Key features of the DC-256T-UP Stainless Steel Timer include:

• RF wireless remote control (WRC-2T) with Start/Stop and Reset to Zero functions, offering up to 1500 feet of range outdoors and 300 feet indoors
• Tough 316L, 16-gauge stainless steel enclosure with an IP66 waterproof rating for demanding medical or outdoor environments

The DC-256T-UP Stainless Steel Up Timer is purpose-built for environments where durability, visibility, and reliable time tracking are critical. Its rugged construction, waterproof design, and simple wireless operation make it an excellent solution for healthcare facilities like the VA Medical Center that require precise and dependable elapsed-time monitoring.
