DESCRIPTION
The MDMU is a complete 6 digit Counter/Timer in a small panel or printed
circuit board mounted package. It is designed to operate from a 5 VDC power
supply. It has a 6 digit LCD, with 0.35" high digits, and 3 selectable decimal
points. In the timer modes, a flashing annunciator is supplied to indicate that the
signal input of the MDMU is active. The displays are available in positive image
reflective (black digits, reflective background) or negative image transmissive
(illuminated digits, dark background) with red or yellow/green backlighting.
The MDMU has four Mode Select and two Decimal Point Select inputs
available for determining the basic operation. In most applications, the MS and
DP inputs are hard wired to select the appropriate function (counter or timer)
and counter decimal point position.
The COUNTER mode is selected by setting the Mode select inputs to the
appropriate levels (Hardware selection). Decimal points may also be set using
the DP Inputs (Hardware selection).
The TIMER mode and range is selected by setting the Mode Select inputs to
the appropriate levels (Hardware selection). The timing range increments
available are 1 msec, 10 msec, 100 msec, 1 sec, 0.1 min, 1 min, 0.01 hr, 0.1 hr,
and 1 hr. The TIMER ACTIVE annunciator will flash at a 1 Hz rate when the
input to the timer is activated.

CAUTION
This device contains CMOS circuitry which requires special anti-static
handling to the same degree required by standard CMOS integrated
circuits. Units should be stored in the conductive package used to ship the
device. Containers should be opened and units handled only on a
conductive table top by personnel wearing wrist-strap grounding equipment.
These devices have the same protection circuits as standard CMOS devices
to prevent damage to inputs due to nominal over-voltage.

INSTALLATION
The MDMUs are available in either a panel mount or printed circuit board
mount design. The panel mount units are provided with a mounting clip to
securely hold the unit in the panel cutout.
Panel Mount Installation:
1. Cut panel opening to specified
dimensions. Remove burrs
and clean the panel opening.
2. Install MDMU through the
panel cutout as shown in
Figure 1.
3. Slide mounting clip over rear
of unit until clip is against the
back of panel. The unit has
slots for the locking tabs to
hold it in the panel opening.
Note: Hold the MDMU front
bezel in place when sliding the
mounting clip in to position
PCB Mount Installation:
1. Prepare printed circuit board hole pattern to the specifications.
2. Unit should be hand soldered using good soldering techniques and hand
cleaned if necessary.
4. ANNUNCIATOR: Flashes at a 1 Hz rate in the Timer mode when the signal
input (CNT) is activated.
5. CONSTRUCTION: High impact black plastic case (mounting clip included
with panel mount models).
6 RELATIVE HUMIDITY: Less than 85% RH (non condensing)
7. WEIGHT:
Reflective Panel Mount: 0.275 oz (7.26 g)
Reflective PCB Mount: 0.26 oz (6.8 g)

WIRING CONNECTIONS
The electrical connections are
made via terminal pins located on
the back of the unit. The terminal
pins are on 0.100" center lines and
can be mated with the RLC Model
HWK7 cable assembly or many
standard 0.100" center line
connectors. When wiring the unit,
refer to Figure 2 to identify the
wire position with the proper
function.
There are certain considerations
that should be observed when
running the signal wires. A length
of wire can act like an antenna,
and the closer it is to a source of
electrical noise, the more it
becomes susceptible to that noise.
These are a few rules that should be followed when running these wires.
1. Never run signal wires in the same conduit or raceway with A.C. power lines,
conductors feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, heaters, etc.
2. Signal wires within enclosures should be routed as far away as possible from
contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy components.
3. When shielded wire is used, connect the shield to the common of the MDMU
unit, and leave the other end of the shield disconnected and insulated from
machine ground.
4. Connect common of the MDMU to machine ground at one point only.
