INNOVA’s Versatile Timer Module is a microcontroller-based timer which can be configured as a count-up or countdown timer. The VTM can be used to trigger various electronic devices such as a flash strobe used in frozen shadow exhibits. The standard configuration includes a large 2.24”-high single digit LED display which counts down from 9 to 0 in one-second or one-minute interval. In count down-by-seconds mode, each count is accompanied by a continuously rising tone with a distinctive tone and trigger signal at zero.

Since the VTM is microcontroller-based, each module can be programmed for different functionality. Some of the user specified parameters include: count in seconds, minutes, or arbitrary intervals; starting count; customizable sounds; and an adjustable recycle period. The standard push-button switch can be replaced by an optional illuminated switch which lights when ready-for-use.

Features:
· Large (2.24” high) bright LED display
· Count-up, Countdown, or Event Counter
· Distinctive countdown and trigger sounds
· Relay contact trigger or optional analog signals for commercial strobes
· Reliable solid-state circuitry
· Change timing parameters in place
· Can be reconfigured for alternate uses

Applications:
· Countdown flash strobe timer/trigger for Frozen Shadow or Shadow Wall exhibits
· Reaction time release timer
· “In place” timer for photo or video applications
· Recycle timer for exhibits. (e.g. Exhibit ready in 5, 4, 3... minutes)
· General purpose exhibit timer
· Random trigger timer (Start or stop actions at random intervals)
· 0 to 9 Event Counter
