INTRODUCTION

• Thanks for choosing a Pixsys device. Counter TCT201 can be set in 2 different modes: Single or Double counter, all with independent settings. 3 universal digital inputs are available (NPN/PNP/Potential free contact) and can be used for bidirectional encoders reading, or Up/Down count function, count inversion, Lock/ Hold to lock or hold current visualisation.
• One input is also analogue in order to allow setpoint modification by an external potentiometer.
• Read carefully the safety guidelines and programming instructions contained in this manual before using/connecting the device.
• Disconnect the power supply before proceeding to the hardware settings or electrical wiring. Only qualified personnel should be allowed to use the device and/or service it and in accordance to the technical data and environmental conditions listed in this manual.
• Do not dispose of electric tools together with household waste materials in observance of European Directive 2002/96/CE

WIRING DIAGRAM

Potentiometer

To modify Set1 or Set2 by an external potentiometer, follow the steps below:

1. Use potentiometers 5kOhm to 10kOhm
2. Connect the cursor to pin I3; a wrong connection may damage the potentiometer and lead to lock of the device.
3. accuracy on input is max 1000 points, therefore set the parameters “Upper limit” and “Lower limit” with a max difference of 1000 units.
   (Ex.: LoS1 to 50,0 and uPS1 to 150,0 to modify time value related to Set1 between 50 and 150 seconds with steps of one tenth). Greater differences would make the less significant digit.
4. To calibrate the scale of the potentiometer, enter the configuration mode and select: Hin.3 as Pot Fin 3 as Set1 or Set2 P.tAr as Enable
   Exit configuration mode and place the potentiometer at the minimum level and press key, then place the potentiometer at max level and press the primary key: the device automatically exit the calibration procedure.
   N.B.:Aswitch-off of the device would interrupt the calibration.

MEMORY CARD (optional)

• Parameters and setpoint values can be copied from one device to another using the Memory car.

There are two methods:

• With the device connected to the power supply insert the memory card when the controller is off.
• On activation display 1 shows and display 2 shows (Only if the values stored on Mmeory Card are correct).
• By pressing the key display 2 shows
• Confirm using the key.
• The device loads the new data and starts again.

With the controller disconnected from the power supply

• The memory card is equipped with an internal battery with a life of about 1000 uses.
• Insert the memory card and press the programming button.
• When writing the parameters, the LED turns red and on completing the procedure, it changes to green. It is possible to repeat the procedure.

UPDATING MEMORY CARD

• To update the memory card values, follow the procedure described in the first method, setting display 2 to so as not to load the parameters on the controller.
• Enter the configuration and change at least one parameter.
• Exit configuration. Changes are saved automatically.
