Timers are frequently used in the industries to run process/operation with predefined time interval. Time plays an important role in our daily activities, more particularly in sectional events or conference arena where there is need for accurate time management. This paper focuses on the development and implementation of an improved digital timer with audio-visual unit using (PIC16F72) microcontroller chip and other electronics component such as 7-segment display, LED and buzzer as an I/O device. Thus, the need for this device in our daily activities is to monitor the time scheduled for events, updating and alert the audience using an audio-visual approach. The proposed system allows apt time management and avoids time wastage during seminar presentations and the likes. It particularly helps presenters to be time conscious, thus, making them to naturally adjust such that the allotted time is enough to cover up their presentation. The digital timer and alarm system presented herewith is also of advantage to the physically challenged like the deaf and blind in monitoring their sectional activities and to be fully involved about the event situation. The system was designed in different modules, and all were interfaced together with firmware chip to simplify the mechanism’s fault diagnoses and fault corrections.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Timers that schedule an event according to a predefined time value in the future are an integral part of many real-time embedded systems, similar to setting an alarm clock. They find applications in the control of sequential functions of industrial machinery at varying time intervals, in the laboratory to power instruments for a specific time and perform processes for a specific duration. Usually, two kind of timer are frequently used in various applications such as mechanical and electronic timers. Electronics timers are manufactured today to meet the complex function of industries. The Electronic timer consists of a crystal controlled stable oscillator, sequencing logic circuits, driving circuits and a digital display system with a facility depends on the application for connecting the output to individual machinery/system to control the operation at pre-determined time interval.
The timers which can be configured to set time interval is called programmable timer. The programmable timer is usually designed with different functions that would be flexible to customize by the users. To build such timer, many ICs and components are required. Therefore, manufacturing cost prohibit deploying programmable timer in many applications. Moreover, when programmable timer is used in laboratory, it should be sophisticated. In this development work, we have developed a microcontroller based programmable timer with digital display system. It works in two modes: manual mode and programmable mode. In manual mode, it can function like switch board. In the programmable mode, user can set the time how long AC main line could be connected to the power outlet. Then, it is disconnected automatically. The time is set for hours, minutes and seconds i.e. the time format is HH:MM: SS. Therefore, the maximum time would be 99h: 59m: 59s. The remaining time is shown on the display system designed with six seven-segment LEDs.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
Due to inaccuracy in time schedule keeping in most of our publics such when an assignment or presentation is given to someone with a time limit schedule. This device is helpful to someone in such situation. It helps the user to be very accurate and conscious of the assigned time.
1.3 AIM OF THE PROJECT
The main aim of this work is to design a down counter that counts from a specified time to 00:00:00, that is, it count down time in hours, minutes and seconds.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT
Microcontroller based countdown timer with digital display system that can be configured to connect the AC main line to the instruments for a specific time interval. Sometimes when there is a need to switch on or off electrical appliances or gadgets after a predetermined time. This device is used to switch on/off any electrical appliance (load) through a relay switch after the specified time set in minutes or seconds.
1.5 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
A countdown timer is a down counter that counts from a specified time to 00:00:00. It is used in many devices such as washing machine, televisions, microwave ovens, etc. This countdown timer has three states: the running state where it counts down, the pause state where it displays the paused time and the reset state to set the countdown. The countdown is displayed on a set of four seven segment displays using the microcontroller PIC-16F72A buzzer sounds when the countdown gets over.
The timer can be easily set with four switches (S3 through S6) to select minutes/seconds, hundredths, tenths and units. Two more switches are used to start (S2) and stop (S1) the timer.
1.6 APPLICATION OF THE PROJECT
It is used in many devices to control their working time such as in washing machine, televisions, microwave ovens, etc. And also in some public places such as presentation hall, wresting ground etc.
