Our new\u202f<strong>DC\u201125T\u2011UP\u2011TERM<\/strong> custom timer delivers exactly that. Designed specifically for station bays, the unit starts counting the moment the alarm circuit closes and guides firefighters through the critical first four minutes of turnout. Two models are available: one housed in a rugged\u202f<em>NEMA\u202f4X fiberglass enclosure<\/em> for harsh or wet environments, and one in our signature <em>all\u2011aluminum enclosure<\/em> for standard indoor mounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once triggered by a single 5\u2011to\u201130\u202fV\u202fDC pulse (only one 12\u202fV line is needed), the bright red LED display begins a clear upward count. At the <strong>two\u2011minute<\/strong> mark the display switches to a high\u2011visibility flash, pushing crews to hustle. If the bay doors aren\u2019t rolling by <strong>four\u202fminutes<\/strong>, the timer automatically resets to zero, standing ready for the next call with no extra inputs or manual resets required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Key workflow features<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Single dry\u2011contact or voltage pulse starts the count<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flashing alert precisely at 2:00\u202fmin for heightened urgency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Auto\u2011reset at 4:00\u202fmin eliminates manual interaction between calls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Installation &amp; enclosure highlights<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>NEMA\u202f4X version<\/em>: corrosion\u2011resistant, gasket\u2011sealed, supplied with a blank cable gland and a 9\u202fft\u202f\/\u202f1\u202fA outdoor\u2011rated 120\u202fV power cord<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Standard aluminum version<\/em>: lightweight, four rear knockouts align with 4\u202f\u00d7\u202f4 electrical boxes; side or back \u00bd\u2011in conduit entries via terminal blocks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Both units link easily via low\u2011voltage two\u2011conductor cable when multiple displays are needed in a single bay<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>During demonstration we powered both timers from a 12\u202fV battery through a momentary push\u2011button. As soon as the button closed, the counters lit up, giving crews a crystal\u2011clear view of elapsed time. At the two\u2011minute flash, urgency ramps up; at four minutes the display wipes clean, letting firefighters know exactly where they stand before the next run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you need the extra protection of NEMA\u202f4X or the streamlined profile of aluminum, the <strong>DC\u201125T\u2011UP\u2011TERM<\/strong> integrates seamlessly into existing alert systems and keeps your team moving\u2014fast.
