The A103 totalizers provide a range of capabilities unequaled in
products of similar size and cost. In addition to the totalizing models
shown here, the A103 series also includes matching indicators for
timing and rate/speed metering and models with a preset output for
control by count or time. 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 predetermining counter, time and rate indicators and
controllers available – look great together on a panel
■ Bidirectional models with input scale multiplier, polarity sign, decimal
point selection, and programmable reset value
■ High visibility 8-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
■ 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 totalizers are further enhanced by a series of quick-attach
option modules. These can provide a power supply for sensors and
display backlighting, and accept high or low voltage AC or DC input
signals.
