Today, we&#8217;re excited to showcase our latest upgrade to the UTW series: an updated version of the <strong>DC-UTW-KEY<\/strong> models that now includes a fully integrated <strong>date setting capability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new model builds directly on the proven reliability of our original UTW series by adding the ability to <strong>display the date<\/strong>, in addition to its existing <strong>time of day<\/strong> and <strong>count up\/down timer functions<\/strong>. It\u2019s the perfect all-in-one solution for facilities that need precise, easy-to-read, and fully programmable displays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Features of the Updated DC-UTW Model:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Date Display Functionality<\/strong>: Now users can manually set and display dates in <strong>MM\/DD\/YY<\/strong> format.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enhanced Programming Options<\/strong>: Through the keypad interface, users can easily program:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Date and time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Up timers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Down timers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automatic Daylight Saving Adjustment<\/strong>: The system adjusts time based on the set date, helping eliminate manual resets twice a year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiple Control Interfaces<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>DC-UTW-24KEY-B<\/strong> (new keypad controller) enables full control including date settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>WRC-8T<\/strong> wireless remote offers simplified timer control from long distances (up to 1500 ft outdoors).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The process for setting the date is simple. Using the new DC-UTW-24KEY-B keypad, press the \u201cSet Date\u201d button, input your desired date (e.g., 03\/09\/25), and confirm it into memory. Time can be set using six-digit input (HHMMSS), and the unit will adjust automatically for daylight saving if applicable. This is especially useful for time-sensitive environments where seasonal changes affect scheduling or operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timer &amp; Time of Day Functions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The unit supports full legacy functionality from previous UTW models.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time of Day<\/strong> can be displayed in <strong>12 or 24-hour format<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Timers<\/strong> allow for:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Count Up<\/strong> from 00:00 to 99:59<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Count Down<\/strong> from 99:59 to 00:00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With the remote (WRC-8T), you can:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start\/stop timers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set countdown\/up durations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recall last timer value<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reset seconds for clean starts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hardware Specifications:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Model Highlighted<\/strong>: DC-25UTW<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enclosure<\/strong>: Rugged aluminum body with black powder coating<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Viewing Distance<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>DC-25: Up to <strong>120 ft<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DC-40 (larger model): Up to <strong>200 ft<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Digit Count<\/strong>: 4 digits for time and date display<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Power Requirements<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keypad: <strong>5V<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Display Unit: <strong>12V<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Users should be mindful not to interchange power sources between components.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accessories:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>DC-UTW-24KEY-B<\/strong>: New keypad controller with full date programming capability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>WRC-8T<\/strong>: Wireless remote controller (1500 ft outdoor range, 300 ft indoor)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This latest update gives our customers more control and visibility by allowing them to clearly see and schedule their time-sensitive operations not just by the hour and minute, but now by the <strong>actual date<\/strong>.
