PRESET COUNT - TM-9-4931-456-14-10023

1.2.3

PRESET COUNT

PRESET COUNT is a specialized form of totalizing possible only when the counter includes a prescale

system. In this mode, the input signal is fed to the Decade Counters associated with the thumbwheel

and multiplier switches and, therefore, this input is prescaled (divided) by the number established by

these switches. Only one pulse is registered and displayed by the display each time the number of

input pulses equals the setting in the thumbswitches (thumbswitch decimal point is ignored in this

mode). The number designated by the thumbswitches is termed PRESET or BATCH and, therefore,

the number displayed by the counter is the number of batches rather than the total accumulated

number of input pulses. The multiplier toggle switch should always be placed in the X1 position unless

it is necessary to expand the maximum capacity of the thumbswitch settings.

The PRESET COUNT mode is particularly valuable in the process control field and where it is

necessary to totalize in terms of engineering units such as Gallons, Barrels, Pounds, etc. By setting

the thumbswitches to the appropriate " "factor, the instrument will accumulate typically in Barrels, etc.

TEST

This unit includes a self-check mode. It is a handy means by which the gating controls, thumbswitches

and display decades may be checked.

1.2.5

REMOTE

This unit is equipped with Remote Programming for added versatility. All functions, thumbswitches

and multiplier may be remotely determined when required, by setting the front panel selector to

REMOTE.
