These timers are great for university settings. The Elapsed Timer lets you start, pause or reset the timer – invaluable for counting down the time remaining on exams. When not in timer mode, the Elapsed Timer displays time synchronized to the rest of the Primex Wireless Clock system. Programmable Countdown Timers work especially well in hallways: using Event Scheduler Pro Software from Primex Wireless, you can set a schedule that synchronizes with campus bells or tones. When a lecture or class period is about to begin, the Programmable Countdown Timer display can temporarily switch from time of day to a countdown of time remaining until the lecture, then return to clock mode.
