General Features
Count Up or Down. The system can be programmed to run a timer that counts up or
down.
Count Below Zero. The system can be set to continue counting below zero when
countdown has finished running.
Colour Changes. The system can be programmed to change the colour of the remote
display at pre-determined times during a timer profile. This provides a means of em-
phasising elapsed or remaining times. The remote displays can change from green to
amber to red for remaining times. It can also be changed manually at any time during
the profile.
Note: The twin LED colon between the hours and minutes digits on the remote dis-
plays is coloured red when the digits are either amber or green, and green when the
digits turn red.
Intelligent Lamp Option. In addition to the numerical remote displays, tri-coloured
‘Intelligent Lamps’ can be used to simply display the colour changes to further empha-
sise the stages of the elapsed or remaining time. The lamps will change colour in the
same way as the numerical remote displays, according to the programming of the
profile that is running.
Flash Mode. At any time the remote displays and/or intelligent lamps can be made to
flash to further emphasise the elapsed or remaining time. The flash feature can be
used while displaying real time in clock mode also.
Pause Mode. At any time while a profile is running the remote display can be paused
by selecting the Pause button from the main screen. This can be resumed at any time
by pressing Go again which will take the system out of the pause mode. The real-time
clock will continue to run despite the pausing of the time profile.
Programming ‘On the Fly’: CountDown Touch is designed so that an operator can
program or edit timer profiles at any time while another timer profile is running or the
system is in clock display mode. This allows for easy adjustments to the timing of an
event whenever required.
