1. Safety Instructions
This instrument has been manufactured in accordance with
the applicable state of the art and meets all safety
regulations as shipped from the factory. Installation and
startup must be performed by qualified electricians only!
Operate instrument only when properly installed!
If safe operation can no longer be ensured, disable the
instrument and secure it against unauthorized operation.
Prevent injury to people or damage to property due to
failure or malfunction of the equipment through additional
safety measures such as limit switches, protective
equipment, etc. .
Read the Instruction Manual carefully before startup!

3. Function Description
This instrument can be used as a rate meter and as a pulse
counter.
The instrument has been pre-programmed in the factory
and must be adapted to your process for both the rate
meter function and pulse counting (see Section 5 –
Programming).
The instrument is ready for operation when the
programming input is not wired. You can switch between
Rate meter and Pulse Counter displays using the S/E key
during operation at any time.
The instrument has two counting inputs.
Both inputs INA and INB (”Low“ or ”High“ active) are
designed for pulse sequences up to 30 Hz or up to 10 kHz
and you can they program any.
Note that you have to program both channels at the same
pulse sequence if the two inputs are working in parallel
connection with a common pulse source.
The backlighting is activated and load on the internal
battery is reduced by applying an external supply voltage of
24 VDC.
All stored data is lost when the battery is replaced. The
message "260_ xx" (xx for software version number)
appears after the new battery is installed. The instrument is
ready to operate after the S/E key is depressed, which
activates the factory programming.

AZ260-eng Page 4
Rate Meter
The rate meter operates by the principle of period length
measurement with ARS (Auto Range System).
You can adapt the display to your operation using the
programming sequence:
1. Input the physical unit of the rate meter (time basis)
2. Select accuracy
3. Set sensor pulse constant,
4. Program a suitable scaling factor and
5. Program the pulse sequency.
ARS helps minimize display process-related fluctuations
depending on the selected accuracy, rounds off the
displayed value, and sets the decimal point automatically.
Measurement starts with the active edge at the counter
input A. After the measurement time (1 sec) has elapsed,
the measurement is completed with the next active edge,
and the value is displayed in CHANNEL A. If no active edge
appears within the „time out“ period you have programmed,
the rate meter is reset to zero. At frequencies > 1 Hz the
average is calculated.
When the allowable count frequency is exceeded, the value
zero appears in the display; if the possible display range
(99999999) is exceeded, the display „E“ appears.

Pulse Counter
The pulses entering at the input B are added and displayed
in CHANNEL B. You can scale the display using an
appropriate scaling factor. You can also set a fixed decimal
point and program the pulse counter so that you can reset it
either through the regular electrical reset on the back or
through the red Rkey on the front.
After pressing the S/E key:

4. Installation – Battery replacement
After unpacking the instrument, remove the light-colored
frame from the back of the housing by simultaneously
bending both long sides of the frame slightly apart to
disengage them from the locking holes.
Then slide the housing through the cutout prepared in the
front panel, attach the frame onto the back of the housing,
slide it all the way against the back of the front panel, and
carefully attach it with the two side screws to the front
panel.
In this way, you can compensate for different front panel
thicknesses. Class IP 65 front protection is achieved
through the seal integrated in the housing.
See the wiring diagram below for the electric wiring.

The battery is accessible from the back of the instrument.
There is a vertical notch under the middle of the nameplate.
Cut through the nameplate there.
Then slide out the two-part battery cover to one side along
the guide grooves, and replace the battery observing the
correct polarity. The instrument MUST BE connected to
24 VDC at this time, otherwise all settings will be lost!
5. Programming
The instrument can only be programmed by setting the
programming input PROG to 0 V.
Please note that this causes the pulse counter to be reset
internally.
After having set the programming input PROG to 0 V, the
following is displayed:

Scaling factor, Channel A - Rate Meter
You may set the scaling factor (SF) in the range of 0.0001
to 99.9999 as explained for setting the pulse constant. The
scaling factor is used when converting one physical unit to
another (e.g., diameter to perimeter, liters to gallons).
Time-out Period, Channel A - Rate Meter
You can set the desired timeout period (time out) after
which the display is reset to zero if the operating frequency
is so low (or zero) that the measuring time would be
intolerably long.
The timeout period can be set in the range of 1s to 99s.

Digital Indicator
for Pulse Inputs
•compact design 36 x 72 mm
•for all sensors with pulse output
•8 digit LCD display for quantity / time
and total quantity
•easy programming
•battery supported and / or 24 VDC
Description:
The digital display unit type AZ260 is used to display process
signals of all sensors with pulse output. The device is micro-
processor controlled and therefore freely programmable. The
display of the quantity time unit can be switched over to the
total quantity by pressing a key. The input of K-factors and
scaling factors enables the convenient adaptation of the
AZ260 to all sensor parameters.
The devices operate independently of the mains by means of
a lithium battery. In addition, they can be operated externally
via a 24 VDC supply. In this case the back light is switched on
automatically.
Typical applications:
For display of flow rates, velocities, total quantities, speeds,
etc.
