Clock Features That Do More Than Tell Time

Clock Features That Do More Than Tell Time

When it comes to synchronized time systems, every environment has its own unique demands whether it’s harsh weather conditions, high-traffic communication needs, or strict safety and hygiene requirements. That’s why the clocks offered through Telnet Networks go far beyond simple time display. From industrial plants and healthcare facilities to schools and global offices, our range of feature-rich clock solutions is designed to meet the operational, safety, and communication needs of diverse industries.

Below, we explore the specialized features available from waterproof construction and countdown timers to message displays and talkback capabilities, and how they can enhance the efficiency and functionality of your facility.

Waterproof Clocks

Waterproof clocks are designed to perform reliably in challenging environments where moisture, dust, and temperature changes can affect standard timekeeping devices. Their rugged construction ensures continuous, accurate operation in settings that demand durability and resistance to harsh conditions. A conformal coating can also be added to these clocks to provide an extra layer of safety from the elements in extremely harsh conditions. These clocks are well-suited for facilities that require dependable timekeeping despite exposure to elements that would typically compromise traditional clocks.

Key features of waterproof clocks:

Sealed, corrosion-resistant enclosures for harsh environments
Has a waterproof rating up to IP66.
Ideal for moisture-prone or temperature-unstable areas
Available in analog and digital formats
Synchronization via PoE, Wi-Fi, or wireless systems
Easy integration into existing time infrastructure
Reliable performance where standard clocks are not suitable
Offered by trusted brands like Sapling, Bodet, and Novanex

Countdown Clocks and Buzzers

In settings where accurate timing and audible alerts are essential such as schools, laboratories, and industrial facilities, clocks equipped with countdown timers and buzzers provide an effective way to manage schedules and signal important events. These features help keep staff on track and ensure smooth transitions between activities, supporting both routine operations and safety protocols.

Key benefits of countdown and buzzer clocks:

Code Blue Timer can activate the countdown/countup timer by a press of a button or through an integration with a Nurse Call system.
Audible alerts for class changes, shifts, or timed processes
Countdown functionality for task management or safety protocols
Seamless integration with synchronized time systems
Ideal for schools, labs, factories, and industrial environments
Available from Sapling and Bodet

Dry Contact Integration

Clocks equipped with dry contact relay functionality offer a versatile solution for facilities looking to extend the utility of their time systems. By linking directly with other building systems, these clocks help centralize control and reduce the need for manual intervention. Their ability to respond to scheduled time events makes them an effective tool for improving coordination between timekeeping and operational workflows across various environments.

Key benefits of dry contact relay clocks:

Automate bells, lights, doors, and other devices including HVAC systems
Improve safety and efficiency through time-triggered events
Ideal for schools, industrial sites, and secure facilities
Seamless integration with building automation systems
Available from Sapling and Bodet

Anti-Ligature and Clean Room Clocks for Healthcare

Specialized clocks are essential in mental health facilities, hospitals, and clean rooms to address strict safety and hygiene standards. Designed specifically for these sensitive environments, they help minimize risks and maintain operational integrity through features that prioritize safety and cleanliness. Whether installed in behavioral health units or sterile medical settings, these clocks ensure accurate, synchronized timekeeping while withstanding rigorous cleaning and safety protocols.

Key benefits of specialized healthcare and clean room clocks:

Anti-ligature designs for behavioral health safety
Sealed, easy-to-sanitize enclosures for sterile environments
For sterile environments like operating rooms, laboratories and pharmaceutical areas.
Reliable, synchronized timekeeping in critical areas
Smooth, flush-mounted surfaces to reduce contamination risks
Available from Sapling, Bodet, and Novanex

Message Clocks

Message clocks serve as versatile communication hubs within facilities, extending their function well beyond basic timekeeping. By delivering timely and visible information, they help keep occupants informed and responsive to changing situations or scheduled updates. These clocks are especially valuable in busy, high risk environments where clear and immediate messaging is crucial to maintaining safety and operational flow.

Key benefits of message clocks:

Scrolling LED displays for real-time alerts and announcements
Support for visual and audio alerting to ensure attention in an emergency
Improve communication in schools, hospitals, warehouses, and transit hubs
Centralized programming for quick and consistent messaging
High-contrast displays for clear visibility in any environment
Seamless integration with existing synchronized time systems
Available from Sapling, Bodet, and Novanex

Time Zone Clocks

Operating across multiple time zones presents unique challenges for global organizations, command centers, and international offices. Accurate and synchronized time displays are crucial to maintain effective communication and coordination among dispersed teams. Multi-time zone clocks provide a centralized, reliable reference that supports smooth operations and decision-making on a global scale, accommodating the needs of diverse industries and environments.

Key benefits of multi-time zone clocks:

Display multiple synchronized time zones on one unit
Ideal for airports, data centers, and international offices
Reduce scheduling confusion and improve coordination
Customizable formats for various global cities
Precision timekeeping with sleek, high-visibility displays
Available from Sapling and Bodet

Integrated Temperature Sensors

Some clocks offer more than just accurate timekeeping by integrating temperature sensors into their displays. This combination provides facilities with an efficient way to monitor environmental conditions alongside time, aiding in maintaining optimal comfort and safety levels. Such dual-function clocks are particularly valuable in settings where temperature control is critical, helping staff respond promptly to changes and support compliance with operational standards.

Key benefits of temperature-sensing clocks:

Simultaneously display time and temperature
Support environmental monitoring in greenhouses, data centers, and more
Help regulate HVAC systems and ensure compliance
Provide quick visibility for improved safety and response
Synchronized for accurate, facility-wide consistency
Available from Sapling and Bodet
