For venues with multiple entrances, multiple displays may be employed. the display units are merely connected in parallel. The RS-485 data transmission technique used allows the displays to be hundreds of feet apart if required.

In operation, the control unit is preset with the desired intermission time. When placed in run mode, the remote display will display the preset time and proceed to count down in one minute increments, to zero. When zero is reached, a relay in the control unit closes for one second. This contact is used to activate show control or presentation equipment, such as DVD or audio units.
