ABSTRACT:
A timing device for coordinating a presentation includes a master timer with a timing initiator, a programmable master sequencer responsive to the timing initiator, a master sensory alarm responsive to the sequencer, a master alarm silencer, and a communication transmitter responsive to at least one of the timing initiator and the master sequencer. The timing initiator begins operation of the master sequencer. The master sequencer actuates the master sensory alarm at at least one predetermined time after initiation. The communication transmitter sends a signal when the timing initiator beginning operation of the master sequencer or at a predetermined time after initiation of operation of the master sequencer. At least one slave timer, and optionally a plurality of slave timers, is provided. Each slave timer includes a communication receiver responsive to the communication transmitter of the master timer, a slave sensory alarm operatively responsive to the communication receiver, and a slave sensory alarm silencer. The communication receiver receives the signal from the communication transmitter and responds,by operatively activating the slave sensory alarm at the time the signal is received or at a predetermined time after the signal is received.
