Large Display timers and clocks
These large displays are ideal for applications where you need to clearly display the time, date or elepsed time of a process.
Suited for these applications and more:-
- Factory time display
- Corporate time / date display
- Days since last accident display
- Machine run-time display
- Process timing display
This page has 3 models for you to choose from:-
[Fusion] [C17XX Clocks] [E17XX Elapsed Timers]
The FUSION is a highly precise, stable, flexible and easy to use large digit clock / timer display, and our top large digit seller, for both display-only and display + output applications.
You can choose from digit sizes of 57mm, 102mm, 150mm, 200mm, 300mm and 400mm do suit the viewing distance in your application. We have a digit size selector which may help you to choose the best digit size for your application.
It has a number of useful plug-in options which make it ideal in many control and monitoring applications.
The front panel buttons can be locked, or can be operated by remotely wiring 4 pushbuttons to the display.

If you need to be able to read the display in a reflection, for example in a heads-up display system, you can switch it to display a mirrored image.
Interesting fact
The FUSION was designed to combine the benefits of our three most popular products...
- The INTUITIVE (High precision, easy to use panel meter)
- The 1700 Series (Large digits and sealed enclosure, ideal for use outside and in large industrial environments)
- The Easy Reader (Economical large digit display family)
We designed it, we build it, we know it inside out, so you can count on us for first class support.
Plus...
We are often asked to combine several fusion displays of various functions into one common display. See here for examples. Please contact us if you would like us to quote for a system to suit your requirements.

The C17XX series is a family of sealed clock / time displays which can be wall mounted, suspension mounted or panel mounted.
They offer a wide range of digit sizes, brightness options, and led colours.
They can also be used to create custom-made multi-line numeric displays for production monitoring and displaying general manufacturing performance.
Scaling and adjustment can be done remotely.
Please note: These are older displays which are approaching obsolescence. Please consider the FUSION series for all new projects.
