Red Lion GEMINI 33 - Manual (Page 5)

Counter will display the number of batches that have been completed (up-count
modes) or the number of batches left to complete (down-count modes).
The Total Count is the total number of counts that have been received since
the Total was last reset. It can be used to keep a running total of process units
on a desired per shift, per day, per week, etc. basis. Like the Process and Batch
Counts, the Total can be reset independently of the other two.
The internal precision of the Process and Totalizing Counter is maintained
to 9 digits. The internal precision of the Batch Counter is 7 digits.
PROGRAMMING THE GEMINI 3300
When your Gemini 3300 arrives from the factory, it is necessary to
program the unit to suit the desired application. It is programmed with the
factory settings listed in the “Factory Settings” section. All programming is
accomplished by using the pushbuttons located on the front panel. The
personality, functions, and modes are accessed by pressing the appropriate
keys. A function is defined by a two-digit code which appears on the left side
of the display. The mode of that function is shown as a one-digit code on the
right side of the display. At times there will be a “-” sign modifier to the left of
the mode.
Data for the Presets, Scale Factors and Timed Output Values are entered
differently. Each digit key controls the digit on the display directly above it.
Changing the digits can be done by repeatedly pressing the key beneath the
digit position you wish to change or by holding the key down. As you hold it
down, or repetitively press it, the value of that digit will change cyclically,
counting up to 9, then to 0, and then up again. The 6 numbered keys
correspond to the six digits, and the “+/-” key corresponds to polarity.
DISPLAYING THE PROCESS, BATCH & TOTAL COUNT
VALUES
The Gemini 3300 can display any of the three count values. There are three
annunciators to the left of the display with the designations, P, B, and T. Only
one annunciator will be lit at one time. These annunciators correspond to the
Process, Batch and Total count values. To display a different value, the “+/-”
key is repeatedly pressed and released until the annunciator corresponding to
the desired count value is displayed. Each time the key is pressed, the display
will sequence to the next count value and the appropriate annunciator will
light. Once the display has been changed, the unit will display the count value
until it is changed again.
MANUAL RESET
There are two different methods by which the Gemini 3300’s count values
can be manually reset. These methods are as follows:
Reset by front panel Reset button, “R”
Rear Reset terminal
Reset utilizing 2-button reset
The reset operation is affected by three function code settings; The Reset
Button, and Reset Terminal Actuation modes (Function Code 61), the Reset
Action modes (Function Codes 62 and 63), and the “Operator Accessible
Functions” modes (Function Code 66). The “Reset Button and Terminal
Actuation Modes” will determine which counters will be reset when the Reset
button or terminal is activated. The Reset Action modes determine whether
the Process or Batch Counter will Reset to Zero or Reset to Preset. The
“Operator Accessible Functions” modes will determine which resetting
modes are enabled, when the “PGM. DIS.” (program disable) terminal is
connected to “COMMON”. The Reset button can be disabled independently
of the Reset terminal by setting the “DIS./EN.RST.” position of the Input
Configuration DIP switches to “DIS.”.
A 2-button reset method is provided to allow an independent reset for the
Process and Batch counters. To reset a counter using this method, the
following procedure must be used.
Press the “E” key,
While holding the “E” key also press the
“1” button to reset the Process Counter, or the
“2” button to reset the Batch Counter.
Note: There is no 2-button reset mode for the Total Counter. It can be
independently reset by loading a Counter Load Value of 0.
