D4044 Rotation Counter Installation Manual for EZ/TMR xx10 Series Indicators 3
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for equipping your Digi-Star Scale System with the Rotation Counter feature. The Rotation Counter
Sensor allows the scale Indicator to both; count the number of revolutions of the PTO shaft, and track when the
PTO is on. This in turn allows the scale Indicator to utilize the Rotation Counter function, record Hours of Use,
and properly display a Maintenance Message.
See your EZ/TMR Indicator Operators Manual for more information on how to utilize these functions.
This installation manual will guide you through the steps necessary to install the Rotation Counter Sensor and
Cabling for the Rotation Counter feature.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Rotation Counter Sensor can be installed on any shaft or sprocket that is directly coupled to the
mixer’s primary mixing rotor or auger.
If the mixer is equipped with a transmission or gearbox that provides a neutral or de-coupled setting the
Rotation Counter must be installed downstream on the mixing rotor or auger side of the transmission or
gearbox.
The Rotation Counter can also be installed to directly sense the rotations of the primary mixing rotor or
auger if accessible.
To install on a PTO Input Shaft:
1. Clean PTO shaft with wire brush where applying target and wipe down with cleaning agent.
2. Peel off adhesive backing on target.
3. Attach target, adhesive side down, securely to PTO shaft with hose clamp as shown in Figure 2. Place
hose clamp screw head inside target as shown in Figures 3.
Figure 2: Target Installation
The installation diagrams show safety shields removed in order to show additional details. Never
operate equipment without safety shields in place. Adding the target to a rotating shaft may require additional
shielding and is not provided. Consult your original equipment manufacturer.

Series Indicators
To Set Drive Ratio
The Drive Ratio is number of turns seen by sensor divided by number of mixing rotations. For
example if 1000 RPM from the Tractor PTO equals 20 RPM of the mixing auger the Drive
Ration will be 50.0.

number of input pulses that equal
1 revolution of the rotor or auger.
(Example: If 1000 RPM Tractor
PTO speed equals 20 RPM of the
mixing auger make this setting

TESTING THE SYSTEM
1. With power applied to the circuit the Rotation Counter Status LED, as shown in Figure 3, will turn “On”
when the Rotation Counter Sensor is aligned with the steel target.
2. Continue to slowly turn the target away from the Sensor. If the sensor LED stays “On”, move the Sensor
away from other metal objects. The target should light the Sensor Status LED only wither when PTO is
spinning, or when the target is directly in line with Sensor as shown in Figure 3.
3. Press TIMER/COUNTER.
4. Enter 20 (The number of rotations to count.)
5. Press TIMER/COUNTER
6. Indicator should display 20 REV
7. Engage PTO
8. Watch display to determine if the display counts down from 20.
9. Disengage PTO
10. Press CLEAR
IMPORTANT: Failure to install this system properly could result in Sensor and equipment damage. Please read
this document thoroughly before engaging PTO.
IMPORTANT: Failure to keep sensor clear of dirt and debris could result in sensor and equipment damage.
The installation diagrams show safety shields removed in order to show additional details. Never
operate equipment without safety shields in place. Adding the target to a rotating shaft may require additional
shielding and is not provided. Consult your original equipment manufacturer.
