4.2. Back Panel and Wiring Terminals
The back panel provides the terminals for power input, signal inputs, and outputs. Refer to the diagram below for terminal identification and functions.
| Pin No. | Label | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | POWER | AC/DC 100-240V Power Supply Input |
| 9 | INB | Input B (Counting/Timing Signal Input) |
| 10 | COMMON | Common terminal for inputs (DC5-30V) |
| 12 | RESET | External Reset Input |
| 13 | INHIBIT | Inhibit Input (pauses counting/timing) |
| 14 | BATCH RESET | External Batch Reset Input |
| 15, 16 | OUT / BAO | Output terminals (specific function depends on configuration) |
| 17, 18 | SOLID STATE OUT | Solid State Output terminals |
5. Setup
5.1. Mounting
The CT7 series counter/timer is designed for panel mounting. Cut an appropriate opening in your control panel according to the device's dimensions (refer to the included physical manual for exact cutout size). Insert the unit into the opening and secure it using the provided mounting clips from the rear of the panel.
5.2. Wiring
Before wiring, ensure all power sources are disconnected. Refer to Figure 3 and Table 1 for terminal identification.
- Power Connection: Connect the AC/DC 100-240V power supply to terminals 1 and 2. Ensure correct voltage and polarity if using DC.
- Input Signal Connection: Connect your counting or timing signal source to terminal 9 (INB). The common for this input should be connected to terminal 10 (COMMON). The input voltage for signals is DC5-30V.
- Output Connections: Connect your external control devices (e.g., relays, indicators) to the output terminals (15, 16 for OUT/BAO and 17, 18 for SOLID STATE OUT) as required by your application. The specific function and wiring of these outputs will depend on the programmed mode.
- Control Inputs: If using external reset, inhibit, or batch reset functions, connect the corresponding control signals to terminals 12 (RESET), 13 (INHIBIT), and 14 (BATCH RESET) respectively.
Caution: Incorrect wiring can damage the device and connected equipment. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
6. Operation
The CT7 series offers both counting and timing functionalities. Detailed programming instructions are typically found in the comprehensive manual included with the product. Below is a general overview of common operations:
6.1. Power On
Once wired correctly and power is applied, the device will power on and display the current count or time, or an initial setup screen.
6.2. Mode Selection (Counter/Timer)
Use the CNT and TMR buttons to switch between counting and timing modes, or to indicate the currently active mode. The specific method for mode selection may involve pressing these buttons directly or entering a programming menu via the PS button.
6.3. Setting Parameters
To set target counts, timer durations, output modes, or other operational parameters:
- Press the PS (Program Set) button to enter programming mode.
- Use the BAS (Base/Function Select) button and possibly other buttons (e.g., up/down arrows, if present, or repeated presses of BAS) to navigate through parameters.
- Adjust values using the appropriate buttons (details in the full manual).
- Press PS again to save settings and exit programming mode.
6.4. Resetting the Device
Press the RST button on the front panel to reset the current count or timer value. An external reset can also be triggered via terminal 12.
6.5. Keypad Lock
Use the LOCK button to enable or disable keypad lock, preventing unauthorized or accidental changes to settings during operation.
7. Maintenance
The PYJY CT7 series counter/timer is designed for long-term, reliable operation with minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the front panel and display with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the plastic or display.
- Inspection: Periodically check wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion.
- Environment: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges to prolong the device's lifespan.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your CT7 series counter/timer, try the following basic troubleshooting steps:
- No Power/Display:
- Check the power supply connections to terminals 1 and 2.
- Verify that the power source is active and providing the correct voltage (AC/DC 100-240V).
- Inspect the power cable for damage.
- Incorrect Counting/Timing:
- Ensure the input signal (INB, terminal 9) is correctly connected and within the DC5-30V range.
- Check the signal source for proper operation.
- Verify that the device is in the correct mode (CNT for counting, TMR for timing).
- Review the programmed parameters (e.g., counting direction, input sensitivity) in the device's settings.
- Outputs Not Activating:
- Confirm that the output wiring (terminals 15, 16, 17, 18) is correct.
- Check the programmed output conditions and ensure they are met.
- Verify that the external device connected to the output is functioning correctly.
- Keypad Unresponsive:
- Check if the LOCK function is active. Press the LOCK button to deactivate it.
If the problem persists after performing these checks, please contact customer support.
