Count Up timer

Amazon has reached out to DC-Digital for their standard object tracking up-timer for the purpose of tracking the number of products. The DC-10T-UP-PKG-SHRT is a custom-built package production up-timer designed for efficient time tracking in industrial and production environments. This system provides reliable monitoring of object presence, accurate accumulation of uptime, and simple manual reset functionality, all within a durable and modular enclosure.

How It Works

The up-timer operates through a diffused photo-reflective sensor that detects an object in close range (less than 12 inches).

  • When an object is present, the timer begins counting.
  • Once the object is removed, the timer pauses and retains the recorded time.
  • A large 40mm palm switch (zero reset button) allows the user to reset the display once the object has cleared.

This functionality is ideal for packaging processes, assembly lines, and quality control systems where accurate time measurement per item is essential.

Key Features

  • Compact 1-Inch Red LED Display
    • Seven-segment design for clear visibility up to 50 feet.
    • Displays seconds and shifts to minutes after 59 seconds.
  • Short-Range PNP Sensor
    • Detects objects within 12 inches.
    • Includes an adjustable mounting bracket for flexible placement.
  • Manual Reset Function
    • 40mm palm switch in a stainless-steel-covered electrical box.
    • 25 ft cord with cable gland for extended reach.
  • Durable Modular Construction
    • Aluminum enclosure with modular design for easy mounting and service.
    • Power connection via 2.1 coaxial connector and standard 110V wall adapter.
  • Color-Coded Terminal Blocks
    • Clearly labeled for easy installation of the PNP sensor and reset switch.

Practical Applications

This up-timer is well-suited for:

  • Package production lines.
  • Quality assurance stations.
  • Time-tracking of repetitive processes.
  • Small-scale manufacturing environments requiring accurate uptime accumulation.
