Low
cost microcontroller based 4 Digit Pre-settable LED Down Counter with
four operating modes that controls how the output behaves when count
reaches zero. Can be used for both low (30cps) and high (4100cps) speed applications.
Accepts inputs from any 'make' contact so can be used with pulses from switches, relays, open collectors outputs or simply push buttons.
Two onboard push button switches (SET and INC) are used to preset the starting count and select the operating mode.
Inputs for Count, Rate (debounce) and Reset (to preset value). Output is an open collector transistor (NPN, 100mA @30V). The four operating modes are detailed in the User Manual (see Technical Specifications table below).
Count, Reset, Rate, Output and Power In are brought out to a 10-way header strip for easy connection. The board has Power In reverse polarity protection.
