DESCRIPTION
Housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure, the FPC-103 is an ideal choice for advanced count totalization applications. An input scale factor allows input pulses to be displayed as meaningful engineering units, and dual input channels enable add/subtract counting.
The 8 digit supertwist LCD display 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 unit can accept NPN and dry-contact inputs for low speed (30Hz) counting and PNP or square wave square wave signals for high speed applications up to 10 kHz.
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 expected life doubles to ten years.
Setup is quick and simple as the two front panel keys are used to scroll through four menu choices.
