Programming of the C48 Counter is done through the front panel keypad.

English language prompts, flashing parameter values, and the front panel
keypad aid the operator during programming.

Although the unit has been programmed at the factory, the parameters

generally have to be changed to suit the desired application. In order to access
the Programming Menu, the Program Disable DIP switch and/or any User Input
programmed for

Pro.dIS

may need to be turned off or deactivated. When

shipped from the factory, all programming is enabled. See Front Panel
Accessible Functions With Program Disable, page 14, for program disabling
options. With programming enabled, to enter the programming menu, the

A

key is pressed and held for two seconds. Once in the programming menu, the
A key is used to sequence through the list of programming parameters. To loop
backwards one item in the Programming Menu, press and hold the

A key, then

quickly press and hold the

C key while releasing the A key. Repeatedly

pressing the

A key with the C key held will continue the backwards

sequencing.

Programming Option Values

The operator can scroll through the available options for a selected parameter

by pressing the

B or C keys to enter parameter change mode, and then

pressing the

B key repeatedly until the desired option is viewed. The option is

entered by pressing the

A key, which returns the operator to the Programming

Menu.

Programming Numeric Data Values

The presets, prescaler, and output time values may be accessible when the

unit is in the normal operating mode (not programming mode), providing that
the Program Disable input is not activated. Pressing the

A key will sequence

the secondary display through the available presets, prescaler, and output time
values.

To change a numeric data value it must be visible on the secondary display.

Pressing the

B or C key will allow changing of the value. The two methods

for changing numeric data values are “digit entry” and “auto scrolling”.

Digit Entry

If the data entry method has been set to “digit entry”, the least significant

digit will blink. Pressing the

C key multiple times will select other digits.

Pressing the

B key will increment the selected digit. The data value will be

entered when the

A key is pushed, or the old value will be retained if no key

activity is detected for 10 seconds.

Short-Cut - Decrementing Value

To decrement a digit value, press and hold the

B key and then press the C

key. This will decrement the selected digit to zero if held.

Auto Scrolling

If the data entry method is set to “auto scrolling”, the data value can be

progressively changed by pressing and holding the

B or C keys. If one of the

keys is pushed and held, the value will scroll automatically. After 5 counts, the
unit enters fast scroll mode. If a key remains pushed, a digit shift occurs every
one hundred counts until the maximum value or zero is reached. When the digit
shift occurs, the previously scrolling digit goes to zero. When scrolling at the
higher order digit locations, you can switch directions by quickly pressing the
other key (

B or C) within a second following the release of previous direction

key.

Short-Cut - Quick Digit Shift

To quickly select higher order digits while incrementing or decrementing

numeric values (with

B or C held), press and hold the A key. This sequences

the selected digit from the least to the most significant digit. As each digit is
passed, it changes to zero. When the desired digit is reached, release the

A key

to increment or decrement from the new digit location.

Saving Program

All parameter values changed in programming mode are saved when exiting.

To exit programming mode, press and hold the

A key for two seconds. The

display will momentarily display

Pro9

SAVE

while the parameter values are

saved in non-volatile memory. The unit then returns to the indication display
that was last viewed.
