This unit provides a simple and effective way to monitor the number of products made per second or the amount of time it takes to produce each unit, offering real-time feedback that helps teams improve workflow, consistency, and efficiency on the production floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This product is typically used by companies that need a <strong>pace counter<\/strong> to determine their production speed \u2014 whether that\u2019s tracking how many units are produced per second or the number of seconds it takes to complete a unit. With its easy-to-use wired keypad controller, operators can program their desired timing intervals, pause or resume operations, and instantly view the rate of production through a bright LED display that can be seen clearly from up to 120 feet away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How It Works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once powered, the user can set the <strong>seconds per unit<\/strong> or the <strong>units per second<\/strong> using the wired keypad controller. The system\u2019s intuitive design allows for quick setup and reliable performance throughout the production process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it functions in operation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>wired keypad controller<\/strong> connects directly into the enclosure via a terminal ID block for secure communication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The keypad includes numeric buttons (0\u20139) and several functional buttons:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Set Seconds per Unit<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Set Units per Second<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pause\/Resume<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enter\/Start<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Users can set the timer to count up based on their preferred production rate. For example, if a facility wants to measure one unit every 10 seconds, they would press the \u201cSeconds per Unit\u201d button, input \u201c10,\u201d and press \u201cEnter\/Start.\u201d Every 10 seconds, the display increments by one digit \u2014 indicating one completed unit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a user prefers to measure how many units are produced per second, they can select \u201cUnits per Second,\u201d input the desired rate (for instance, 5 units per second), and start the counter. The display will increment accordingly to show the rate of production in real time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>Pause\/Resume<\/strong> feature allows operators to temporarily stop counting without resetting the values, ideal for short breaks or equipment checks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hardware and Design Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond its operational simplicity, the DC-25C-TERM-KEY-PACE is built to perform reliably in industrial environments. Its enclosure is made from <strong>14-gauge aluminum<\/strong> with a <strong>fingerprint-resistant black powder-coated finish<\/strong>, offering both durability and a professional appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key hardware specifications include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Display size:<\/strong> 2.3 inches, viewable up to 120 ft<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Digit count:<\/strong> Four digits (counts up to 9999)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Power type:<\/strong> 120 to 240 VAC wall adapter<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Controller:<\/strong> Wired 24-key keypad, pre-programmed with dedicated function buttons<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The keypad\u2019s ergonomic design makes inputting pace settings quick and efficient, minimizing downtime and simplifying daily production monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Applications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>DC-25C-TERM-KEY-PACE<\/strong> timer counter is widely used across:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Assembly lines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Packaging departments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manufacturing facilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Production testing stations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Any organization that needs to measure and maintain a consistent pace of production can benefit from integrating this device into their workflow. It provides a clear, reliable, and easily adjustable method for tracking performance, keeping teams synchronized, and helping supervisors identify process improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>DC-25C-TERM-KEY-PACE Production Timer Counter<\/strong> is a dependable and efficient solution for maintaining production pace and monitoring output rates. With its durable build, high-visibility LED display, and wired keypad control system, it provides everything a facility needs to measure and improve production timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether your goal is to count the number of units made per second or to determine how long it takes to produce each unit, this timer counter delivers precise, consistent, and user-friendly performance \u2014 helping teams stay on track and meet production goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See similar product: <a href=\"https:\/\/dc-digital.com\/store\/DC-25C-Term-Key-Pace-DC-Digital-2-3-Inch-LED-Digital-Production-Pace-Timer-Counter-24-Keypad-Programmer-Controller.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/dc-digital.com\/store\/DC-25C-Term-Key-Pace-DC-Digital-2-3-Inch-LED-Digital-Production-Pace-Timer-Counter-24-Keypad-Programmer-Controller.html\">DC-25C-TERM-KEY-PACE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch tutorial video on <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4DJhl5zKb0E\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4DJhl5zKb0E\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/dc-digital.com\/store\/index.php\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/dc-digital.com\/store\/index.php\">DC-Digital website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dc-digital.com\/store\/contact-us.php\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/dc-digital.com\/store\/contact-us.php\">Contact us<\/a> about our custom products!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The DC-25C-TERM-KEY-PACE Production Timer Counter is one of our standard products designed to help production facilities set and maintain the pace of their operations.
