Eagle Signal A103-006 Technical Manual

Introduction

Eagle Signal

brand

Within the Danaher Controls A103 family you'll find a product to meet nearly every
requirement for panel mounted control and indication. Housed in a DIN standard 36mm x
72mm case, the A103-006 is designed to accumualate elapsed time for applications such as
machine maintenance. The unit is field programmable to display the elapsed time in a
variety of units.

The supertwist LCD display with 6 digit display, plus time unit legend, provides easy viewing
at a glance. For conditions where ambient light is poor, the display can be backlit by
connecting an external DC (10-28 Volt) power supply. The time value can either be reset
through the front panel or via a remote signal.

Powered by either one or two replaceable 3V Lithium batteries, this unique design allows for
a new battery to be installed before removing the old one, thereby retaining count total and
program data. A low battery indicator appears on the screen to provide a warning several
weeks before the end of battery life. If two batteries are used simultaneously, the individual
expected life doubles to 10 years.

Setup is quick and simple as the two
front panel keys are used to scroll
through 2 menu choices. A NEMA 4X
front panel and noise immunity
tested to IEC 801 level 3 makes this
unit suitable for harsh environments.
Several option modules are also
available that provide added
functionality and convenience.
