SPECIFICATIONS
1.
DISPLAY: 6-Digit 0.56" (14.2 mm) High LED display
2. POWER REQUIREMENTS:
AC Versions:
AC Power: Switch selectable 115/230 VAC, (±10%), 50/60 Hz, 20 VA.
DC Power: 11 to 14 VDC @ 0.7 amp max.
3. SENSOR POWER: +12 VDC (±25%) @ 100 mA.
Note: The sensor supply voltage varies ±25% due to line and internal load
variations. All RLC sensors will accommodate this variation.
4. MEMORY: Non-volatile E

PROM memory retains all programming
information and count values (except Counter Load Values) when power is
removed or interrupted.
Power Cycles: 100,000 min.
Data Retention: 10 years min.
5. INPUTS 1 AND 2: Switch selectable to accept count pulses from a variety
of sources including switch contacts, outputs from CMOS or TTL circuits,
and all standard RLC sensors.
Current Sourcing: Unit provides 3.9 K
Ω
pull-down resistor for sensors with
current sourcing outputs. Max. input voltage = 28 VDC @ 7 mA.
Current Sinking: Unit provides 7.8 K
Ω
pull-up resistor for sensors with
current sinking outputs. Max. sensor current = 1.6 mA.
Debounce: Damping capacitor provides for switch contact debounce. Limits
count speed to 100 Hz max. with 50% duty cycle.

VDC (I
SNK
= 1 mA).
Print Request: Active low (V
IL
= 1.5 V max.) internally pulled up to +5
VDC (I
SNK
= 1 mA).
11. SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS (Optional):
Type: Bi-directional 20 mA current loop, 20 mA source provided. (Powers
up to 7 units in a loop with internal current source.)

Relays: Mounted on a field-replaceable PC board. Form C contacts rated at
5 amps @ 120/240 VAC, 28 VDC (resistive load), 1/8 H.P. @ 120 VAC
(inductive load). The operate time is 5 msec nominal and the release time
is 3 msec nominal.
Relay Life Expectancy: 100,000 cycles @ max. rating. (As load level
decreases, life expectancy increase.)
Programmed Timed Output: The timed output can be set from 0.01 to
599.99 seconds, ±(0.01% + 10 msec)
