INTRODUCTION

Thanks for choosing a Pixsys device. Techometer TCT101 allows to read the frequency (max 100KHz) of a signal from single or double (bidirectional encoder) input. 2 universal digital inputs are available (NPN/PNP/Potential free contact) for external commands like output activation or Hold/ Stop current visualization; one input it is also analogue in order to allow setpoint modification by external potentiometers.

  • Read carefully the safety guidelines and programming instructions contained in this manual before using/connecting the device.
  • Disconnect power supply before proceeding to hardware settings or electrical wirings.
  • Only qualified personnel should be allowed to use the device and/or service it and in accordance to technical data and environmental conditions listed in this manual.
  • Do not dispose 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 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 potentiometer at minimum level and press key, then place potentiometer at max level and press the 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 showsPIXSYS-TCT101-3ABC-Timer -Counter -Tachometer-fig (7) (Only if the values stored on Memory Card are correct).
  • By pressing thePIXSYS-TCT101-3ABC-Timer -Counter -Tachometer-fig (5)key display 2 showsPIXSYS-TCT101-3ABC-Timer -Counter -Tachometer-fig (8)
  • Confirm using thePIXSYS-TCT101-3ABC-Timer -Counter -Tachometer-fig (9)key .PIXSYS-TCT101-3ABC-Timer -Counter -Tachometer-fig (6)
  • 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 toPIXSYS-TCT101-3ABC-Timer -Counter -Tachometer-fig (7)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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I calibrate the potentiometer scale?

A: To calibrate the potentiometer scale, enter the configuration mode and select Hin.3 as Pot, Fin.3 as Set1 or Set2, and P.tAr as Enable. Exit configuration mode, set the potentiometer at the minimum level, and press a key.

Q: What is the maximum frequency reading capability of the device?

A: The device can read frequencies up to 100KHz.
