    10. Orders for standard stock items will usually ship same day if received by 1:00 PM US Pacific Time.

  10. Can my order be shipped UPS to arrive next day?
    11. Yes, UPS Next Day service will deliver your order the following day. A firm order must be received by 1:00 PM US Pacific Time in order to meet the UPS Next Day Service.

  11. Can I purchase a timer that counts down in seconds? Minutes? Hours?
    12. Yes, most of the Alzatex timers have three count down modes: Hours, Minutes or Seconds.

  12. What is involved in installing my timer package?
    13. All Alzatex timers and accessories are equipped with RJ-11 jacks (standard phone jacks) or RJ45 jacks and the connecting wire is standard 4 conductor modular phone cable with RJ-11 Plugs, or CAT5 cable (standard network).

  13. What type of hardware is CAT5 and what application?
    14. Here is a representative example.

  14. What is a crossover cable?
    15. A crossover cable is a standard phone cable, but the RJ-11 jack at one end is reversed from the way it is normally connected on a phone cable. Crossover cables are clearly marked with a "crossover" label. Normally a standard phone cord is used to connect the timer to a display, and a crossover cable is used to connect timer to timer, or display to display. All of the connections are low voltage and reverse polarity protected, so no damage is done if an incorrect connection is made.

  15. Can you send me a catalog?
    16. The Alzatex site lists the most recent standard products, services, and prices. Custom products and services are also available.

  16. Where can I find prices?
    17. Most prices are posted on the Alzatex web site. Prices are also available by telephone. For volume orders ask about quantity discounts.

  17. Does Alzatex have branch locations, and if so where?

  18. What size digits do I need for my application?
    19. Best viewing characteristics vary for each person, and also vary from display color and other environmental effects such as ambient light. A rough rule to follow is one inch of digit height for each twenty feet of the farthest viewing distance. For Alzatex products, that equates to the following available display heights:
    Display Height
    in Inches
    		Best/Recommended
    Distance

    in Feet
    		Suitable/Economical
    Distance

    in Feet
    		Est. Maximum/Limit
    Distance
