CAUTION: NEVER EXCEED THE FUSE
RATING AS THIS COULD CAUSE FIRE,
PERSONAL INJURY OR PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT
Connect the DCU-600 ONLY to a 115 volt 15 amp
GROUNDED outlet for safety and correct operation.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Over a period of time and usage the batteries in all electronic
equipment should be replaced so the unit will continue to function properly. The DCU-600 uses the batteries to protect the
stored data when the power is off. We recommend replacing the
batteries every two (2) years. We suggest writing the date of
purchase in the manual and on the bottom of the case. As a reminder, record the battery replacement date (two years from
purchase) in both locations. You should up-date the replacement
date every two years, and have the batteries replaced by qualified personnel.
The unit MUST BE unplugged from the 115 volt outlet before
attempting to replace the batteries or any procedure which
requires the removal of the cover on the unit. The unit should not
be plugged back into a power outlet until the cover has been
secured back on the unit; OTHERWISE, YOU MAY EXPERI-
ENCE AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK or damage the unit.
SCANNER (optical sensor) The reflective modulated scanner
senses material by reflection of light (from the scanner) off of the
material being counted. This is usually mounted on a fold plate of
the folder, scanning between the frame. A magnet holds the
scanner in place. Two type of scanners are available, modulated
and non-modulated
CAUTION: The DCU series of counters and batch
counters will not work with the old style U shaped incandescent break beam photo arm.
