VEK CN1
The digital counter VEK CN1 is designed to control small medium car-parks. Four counting inputs are used to
accept outputs from loop detectors and/or traffic gate controllers. The counting inputs increment or decrement the
counter and is displayed on the 4-digit display. The output relay is used to turn on/off traffic signs or lot full signs.
Available open space counter and counter hysteresis are adjustable. The output relay can be used to directly
control a traffic light or a lot full sign.

1.2 Operating Modes
The counting unit can be operated in mode “Open Space Counting” or in mode „Passing Vehicle Counting“. The
choice of operating mode occurs with set up the switching threshold. (see 2.4.1 Operating Modes switching )
The “OPEN SPACE COUNTING” is preferably used when the counting reading of the parking spaces is done
when the car-park is full so less open spaces has to be counted. Vehicles leaving the car-park will increment the
counter (Input 1) and vehicles entering the facility will decrement the counter (Input 2). The counter will activate the
output relay whenever the open space counter is equal or less than “0”. The output relay will be released as soon
the counter reached the adjusted counter hysteresis.

1.2.2 Operating Mode “PASSING VEHICLE COUNTING”
The “PASSING VEHICLE COUNTING” is preferably used when the counter reading of the parking spaces is done
when the car-park is empty so less occupied parking spaces must be counted. Vehicles entering the car-park will
increment the counter (input 1) and vehicles leaving the facility will decrement the counter (input 2). The counter
will activate the output relay whenever the vehicle counter reaches or is higher than the adjusted maximum. The
output relay will be released as soon the counter reaches or is lower than the adjusted lower counter hysteresis.
1.3 Pulse Inputs
The switching status of inputs is in normal operating mode displayed with four decimal points on the display. The
function of Inputs can be independent set on:
• increment
• decrement
• reset counter or
• no function
(see 2.4.3 Counter Level). Factory setting for input 1 and 3 is set to increment and for input 2 and 4 set to
decrement.
The inputs are interference-suppressed against switch bounces. Input pulses are counted separately of adjusted
function until 9.999.999. Each input pulse counter can be set up and reset separately. (see 2.3.4 Display and
Counter Reset).
1.4 Reset Input
With the Reset Input the counter reading can be reset to 0. The relay output will be adequate to the preferences set
on free or used. The adjustment parameters and the input pulse counter will not be changed. Is the output state
manually set on free or used (see 2.3.3 Set Relay Output manually to “Free” or “Occupied”) so the relay will stay in
this state.

Operating Instructions VEK CN1-1
1.5 Relay Output
The relay output signals „Free Parking Area“ or “Used Parking Area”. The relay changeover contact can directly
control a traffic light. The method of operating for the relay can be set on load current principle or rest current
principle (see 2.4.5 Output settings). The LED displays the status of the relay.
Output Status Relay Operating
Principle
Free Load Current Principle energized Off
Used Load Current Principle de-energized On
Free Rest Current Principle de-energized On
Used Rest Current Principle energized Off
If the operating of the output isn´t used, the output state can be manually set on „always free“ or „always used“
(see 2.3.3 Set Relay Output manually to “Free” or “Occupied”).
Relay LED
1.6 State Storage during Voltage Breakdown
During voltage breakdowns the setting values and the counter states remain unchanged. After the voltage returns
the counter works on normally. A flashing display shows the counter state must be checked and maybe fixed (see
2.3.1 Power Failure).

2 Display and Setup
2.1 Display during normal operation
In normal operating mode you can have the display show either how many vehicles entered the car-park or how
many open spaces are left (see 1.4.1 Operating Mode/Switching point). The relay status is displayed with the LED.
Input states are indicated with the 4 dots in the display. Special states of the counting unit are shown directly.

3 Installation Instructions
3.1 Input voltage
All inputs are provided with photo couplers. To activate the inputs you can either use the internal voltage supply or
use an external supply. When using an external supply you must first change the internal jumper J2 in accordance
with the drawing and table below.
Attention!
The printed circuit board consists of electrostatic sensitive components. While working with the printed circuit board
please use electrostatic protective measures to prevent any damage to the components. Do not touch the board or
any of the components!
Terminal „C“ at the front side, near to the terminals of the supply voltage, can only be used with internal Power
Supply as an alternative connection to terminal „Com“. Terminal „C“ mustn’t be wired if external Power Supply is
used.
Inputs of several counter units can be connected in parallel as follows:
Power Supply Input power Attention
• Use only one power supply for all counter units!
• Do not connect terminal “C”. Terminals “In1..4” and “Res” are
internally connected to 0 V.
12..24V DC
Internal
J2 to down and right
12..24V AC
12..24V AC/DC

External 12..24V DC

• Do not connect multiple counter units in parallel!
• Use only one external power supply for all inputs!

3.2 Wiring of Relays Outputs
By switching of inductive loads additional external noise suppression is needed.
The output relay is constructed for small and large loads. Look for maximum and minimum load in the technical
data.
Attention!
If the relay contacts are loaded once for more than 100 mA, the gold gladding of the relay contacts becomes
destroyed. The use in systems with small loads isn´t possible anymore!

5 Safety instructions and Warnings
• The device may only for the purpose intended by the manufacturer.
• These operating instructions have to be handed out to every user and kept in an easily accessible
place.
• Unacceptable changes as well as the use of spare parts and special features which are not sold or
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shocks and injuries. Such measures do
therefore lead to nonliability of the manufacturer and a lapse of all warranty claims.
•The appliance is subject to the manufacturer’s guarantee regulations in the version valid at the time
of purchase. We cannot be held liable for improper or faulty manual or automatic adjustment of
parameters resp. improper use of the appliance.
• Repair work may only be carried out by the manufacturer.
• Installation, initiation, maintenance, measuring and adjustment of the counting unit should only be
carried out by electricians with a good knowledge of the rules for prevention of accidents.
• When handling appliances that get in contact with electricity, the valid VDE-regulations have to be
observed. In particular, these are: VDE 0100, VDE 0550/0551, VDE 0700, VDE 0711, VDE 0860,
VDE 0105 as well as the rules for the prevention of accidents and fire VBG4.
• Before opening the device be assure that power is turned off and re-measure if power is down.
• If an operation display goes out, this is not a proof that the appliance is disconnected from the mains
and idle.
•All labour that is carried out on the appliance as well as its installation has to conform to the national
as well as the local electric regulations.
• The user has to make sure that the appliance is installed and operated according to the technical
rules of the country of installation as well as other regional regulations. Cable dimensions,
protection, grounding, disconnection, insulation control and excess current protection should be
especially considered.
•The gold gladded relay contacts will be destroyed for switching currents higher than 100 mA. Relays
with such pre-stressed contacts can certainly switch only currents higher than 100 mA.
