These timers are extremely useful in manufacturing settings. The Elapsed Timer lets you start, pause or reset the timer – ideal for timing R&D tests and various industrial processes. When not in timer mode, the Elapsed Timer displays time synchronized to the rest of the Primex Wireless Clock system. Programmable Countdown Timers can be used in break rooms and cafeterias, especially for hourly employees who punch in and out. As the end of a break, lunch or shift approaches, these timers temporarily switch from displaying time of day to a countdown time, allowing employees to quickly see how much time remains during that break or lunch period. The timers then return to time-of-day display.
