The City of Owen Sound, Canada<\/a> has selected our DC-25UTW-DS Wireless Double-Sided Timer and Clock<\/strong> to support more structured, efficient, and transparent council meetings. Designed for multi-purpose public environments, this versatile display allows council members to clearly regulate speaking time while maintaining full visibility for both presenters and attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During council sessions, the DC-25UTW-DS is used to manage how long each speaker has the floor. When a speaker\u2019s allotted time expires, the system provides a clear visual countdown and an audible end-of-period alert, ensuring meetings stay on schedule while remaining fair and consistent for everyone involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond time regulation, the unit also functions as a full-featured digital clock<\/strong>, allowing it to remain useful outside of active speaking sessions. Switching between clock mode and timer mode is seamless and handled entirely through our WRC-8T wireless remote controller<\/strong>, giving council staff complete control without needing to approach the display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wireless remote operates at distances of up to 1,500 feet outdoors and 300 feet indoors<\/strong>, making it ideal for large council chambers and public meeting rooms. From the remote, users can easily set the time of day, switch between up-timer and down-timer modes, start or pause timing, reset values, or return to previously programmed countdown durations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DC-25UTW-DS supports both count-up and countdown timing<\/strong>, displaying up to 99 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds<\/strong> with precision down to hundredths of a second. Our shift-digit technology automatically adjusts the display format for optimal readability as time progresses, ensuring the most relevant information is always visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardware Designed for Public Environments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Built for durability and daily use, the DC-25UTW-DS features a black powder-coated aluminum enclosure<\/strong> that is both fingerprint- and dust-resistant. The unit is double-sided<\/strong>, displaying identical information on both faces so the time or countdown is visible from multiple angles in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An integrated audible alert system enhances functionality during meetings. The adjustable piezo alarm provides confirmation tones for remote button presses and mode changes, while the end-of-period buzzer<\/strong> automatically sounds for three seconds when a countdown reaches zero\u2014clearly signaling that a speaker\u2019s time has concluded. For quieter sessions, the audible alerts can be adjusted or turned off entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To protect surfaces and the enclosure itself, the unit includes adhesive bottom tabs<\/strong>, preventing scratches or marks when placed on desks, podiums, or tables. Powering the display is simple and reliable, requiring only a standard 120V AC to low-voltage wall adapter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Practical, Multi-Purpose Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By choosing the DC-25UTW-DS, the City of Owen Sound has implemented a professional timing solution that improves meeting flow, reinforces fairness, and enhances visibility for both council members and the public. Its combination of wireless control, clear double-sided display, and durable construction makes it an ideal fit for council chambers, public hearings, and other civic environments where time management matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This deployment highlights how the DC-25UTW-DS goes beyond a single function\u2014serving as a clock, an up-timer, and a countdown timer\u2014while delivering the reliability and ease of use that municipalities depend on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
