The A103 Preset Counters are amazingly compact in size and low in
cost, with a full complement of popular features. In addition to the
preset counter models shown here, the A103 series also includes
matching indicators for count-totalizing, timing, and rate/speed
metering, as well as preset-timer models. All are in a uniform 36 x 72
millimeters bezel size package, enhancing your control panel with a
family of devices that look and program alike.
A supertwist LCD display with thick 12mm (.47") high digits allows for
easy viewing at a glance and feature display-backlight capability by
simply connecting an external 12VDC supply.
Powered by an internal 3 volt battery, the A103's unique design has two
battery slots; this allows battery changeover without loss of memory.
Numerous types of inputs can be accepted giving you a totally selfcontained system not requiring external power.
■ Matching totalizing counter, time and rate indicators and controllers
available – look great together on a panel
■ SSR relay output – selectable normally-open or normally-closed operation
■ High visibility 7-digit LCD display with backlighting capability standard
■ Long life 3 Volt lithium battery eliminates the need for external power
■ Accepts input signals from a variety of sources: Dry Contact, PNP or
NPN Sensors, Encoders
■ High speed and low speed count inputs
■ Resettable remotely or from the front panel
■ Programmable security of front panel reset button and preset entry
■ Option modules provide additional functionality and added conve-
nience – fast, easy installation
■ NEMA 4X/IP65 rated front panel for use in washdown environments
The A103 Preset Counters are further enhanced by a series of quick
attach option modules. These can provide a power supply for sensors
and display backlighting, provision for high or low voltage AC or DC
count signals, and mechanical relay output.
