Mounting Grooves
The instrument can be mounted in a panel with a thickness of up to 6mm. The
cutout(s)shouldbemadebasedontherecommendedpanelopeningillustratedinthe
drawingabove. Insert the unit inthe panel through the cutout. Ensure that the
panelgasketisnotdistortedandtheinstrumentispositioned
squarelyagainstthepanel. Slidethemountingclampintoplace
onthe instrument,as shownto the left, and push it forwarduntil
it is firmly in contact with the rear face of the mounting panel and
thetabs on thebracket arm are seatedin themounting grooves
on the side of the unit.

REAR TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
Count Inputs
Terminal#2 istheconnection for InputA,which is programmabletobe
the primary input or channel A of an encoder input. Terminal #1 is the
connectionforInputB,whichisprogrammabletobeanincrementing
input,a decrementing input, orchannel Bof an encoder input. The
commonconnection for both Input A and InputB isTerminal#3.
Control/Digital Inputs
Acontact closureorNPNsignalcanbeused toactivatepreconfigured
functionality. Terminal#5isused for a remotereset function, while
Terminal#6isasecurityfunction,thatwhenactive,willprohibitentry
into Program Mode. Terminal #8 serves as the common for both of these
inputs.
Auxiliary Power Output
A 9 - 15 VDC for powering external sensors and encoders up to 125 mA
canbeaccessedbyconnectingthe positive supply sideofthesensorto
Terminal#4 and the negativesidetoTerminal #8.
Input Power
For an AC powered unit, Terminal #13 serves as the line or Hot side
connectionforACpowered units andasthepositive side for DCpowered
Terminals 10, 11, 12, & 15 are not used.
units. Theneutral side for AC powered units and the negativeside for
DCpoweredunitsareconnectedtoTerminal#14.
Transistor Outputs
Yourunitcomesstandard with 2 NPNoutputswhichareactivatedby
each of the presets. Transistor Output 1, which is tied to Preset 1
operation,is on Terminal#7. TransistorOutput2, which istied to Batch
Presetoperation, is onTerminal #9. Terminal #8serves as thecommon
connectionforbothtransistoroutputs.
Relay Outputs
Your unit comes standard with a relay output which is tied to Preset 1
operation. Terminal#19isNC,Terminal#20is common, and Terminal
#21 is NO. A second relay output tied to the operation of Batch Preset
can be added as an option at the time of order or later installed in the
field.Terminal#22 is NC, Terminal#23 iscommon, and Terminal#24 is
NO.
Serial Communication
AnRS-485communicationboard,utilizingASCIIprotocol,canbe
installed as an option. Terminals #16 & #17 serve as the B and A
connectionsrespectively,whileTerminal#18isconnectedasthe
common.
