Model 63
Electronic
LCD Counter
Description
The Model 63 Electronic Counter with 8 LCD digits brings more features to the user than ever before. Models are available that are simple 8-digit totalizers, while other models can bring together enough features to control a significant process.
A long list of features includes a programmable output, an external electronic reset, a front panel reset enable, and programmable alert or preset capability. In addition, the unit can be configured to operate from an external DC power supply or an internal 15+ year lithium battery. An EEPROM is available
with the externally powered units to retain last data when power goes down. The front end of the Model 63 Counter utilizes a high-contrast, reflective,
8-digit LCD with 0.32 inch [8mm] digits and seven icons, while at the back end Dry Contact, Low Voltage DC, and High Voltage DC and AC Inputs are
available.
The Model 63 family is designed with a rugged plastic housing that is qualified to NEMA 4/4X when properly installed in a panel using a gasket that is
supplied. In addition, the unit is compliant with CE EMC standards to EN61326:2001 for industrial applications, the unit is recognized by UL for U.S. and
Canadian safety standards, and it is compliant to European RoHS and WEEE standards.

Capabilities
Counter Operation
Any of four different counting methods may be specified in each unit. These counting methods are factory set.
Dual Range:
In the Dual Range Mode, the counter waits for a pulse on either Input A or Input B. The first input to have a pulse is recognized and its pulses are
counted. The other input is ignored until the counter is reset. The rated speed for one of the inputs is 40 Hz and for the other input it is 500 Hz. This
mode is best for single up-counter operation.
Dual Counter:
In the Dual Counter Mode, the pulses on Input A are counted in twocounters, Counter A and Counter B. Counter A is resettable and Counter B is not.
Pressing and releasing the SEL switch swaps the counters on the display. This mode is good for maintenance applications where a total counts accumulated during operation is desired. The Dual Counter is only available with front panel programming.
Up/Down Counter:
In the Up/Down Counter Mode, the pulses on Input A are added to the accumulated count and the pulses on Input B are subtracted from the accumulated count. The Up/Down Counter is capable of displaying negative numbers.
Twin Counter:
The Twin Counter behaves as two counters in one package. The pulses on Input A are accumulated in Counter A and the pulses on Input B are accumulated in Counter B. Both counters are reset at the same time. The displayed counters can be swapped by pressing and releasing the SEL switch. The
Twin Counter is only available with front panel programming.
I/O Functions
The I/O functions can be mixed and matched to maximize the functionality of the counter. There are three types of inputs that the counter can accept.
The interfaces for each are factory set. The inputs can be

Low Voltage DC – Low input is less than 1VDC and High Input is 3 – 30VDC.
High Voltage DC or AC – Low is less than 3VDC or 3VAC. A High Input is either 10 – 300VDC or 20-300VAC.
For the Switch and Low Voltage DC Counters, there are six screw terminals for all of the I/O.

For the High Voltage Counters, there are four screw termi-
The pulse inputs are those inputs that are counted.
When the remote reset is at a high level, the counter will reset.
The counter will reset when the Front Panel Reset Enable is at a high level, and the Front Panel Reset Switch is pressed.
The counter will not reset when the Front Panel Reset Enable is at a low level and the Front Panel Reset Switch is pressed.
The output is an open-drain MOSFET. The output is used when operating in the Preset Counter Mode, and it can be option
ally used when using Redi-Alerts.
Preset Function
Each counter may be placed in a preset operating mode. This mode can be programmed through the front panel for those units that have the front panel
programming option. It may also be factory programmed. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED THAT THE PRESET FUNCTION BE USED AT THE SAME TIME
THAT ALERTS ARE ENABLED.
Basically, a preset counter is a counter that counts to a preset value and then turns on an output device. At some point, the output device is turned off,
the counter is reset, and the process begins again. There are two things to determine. One is when and how to turn off the output device, and the second is when and how to reset the counter.
The preset counters can be set up for either automatic reset or external (front panel or remote) reset. The outputs can be turned off by either time out or
external reset. In addition to the output, an icon can be turned on when the output is turned on for a visual indication of the preset condition.
Alert Functions
The Model 63 Counter can be programmed to operate as a maintenance device in which alerts notify the user of certain maintenance actions to be
taken after accumulation of a predefined number of counts. When the accumulated count equals the predefined alert value, an icon is illuminated on the
display. When the alert is reset, the icon is turned off, but the count value is not reset.
There are two types of alerts. The first is a break-in alert. A break-in alert only occurs once at the start of unit operation. The second type of alert is
recurring. A recurring alert occurs continuously at a predefined period. When tied to a break-in alert, the recurring alert will not begin its count until the
break-in alert has occurred.
The intervals for the recurring alert can be performed as start-to start or end-to-start. A start-to-start interval count starts when the last alert is turn on.
The end-to-start interval count starts when the last alert is turned off.
The Model 63 Counter can support three alerts using front panel programming and four alerts when factory programmed. IT IS NOT RECOMMEDED
THAT THE PRESET FUNCTION BE USED AT THE SAME TIME THAT ALERTS ARE ENABLED. In both cases, Alert #1 is a break-in alert that is tied to
Alert #2, which is recurring. Alert #3 is recurring, and Alert #4 can be factory set as either break-in or recurring. If Alert #4 is break-in, then it is tied to
Alert #3.
The Model 63 Counter can be programmed to be latched or kept on for a predetermined number of counts. When latched, an external reset is required
to turn off the alert. Each alert can also force the output on when the alert is on.
Front Panel
The liquid crystal display is reflective with dark characters on a light background. There are 8 digits on the display. The standard display contains seven
icons which can be assigned as desired to either alerts or a preset.
Model 63 Counters with the front panel programming option are capable of being programmed for either alerts or the preset function. There are two front
panel switches. To begin programming, the two switches are pressed simultaneously. The programming menu must be completed in its entirety to return
to normal operation. The switch functions are described as follows:
SEL:
During normal operation, the displayed counters will be swapped when the SEL switch is pressed and released. During programming, this
switch is used to select options.
RST:
During normal operation, the RST switch is used for front panel reset. During programming, the RST switch is used to enter an option.
Resets
Unless using alerts, a reset returns the display to zero. If using alerts, the reset turns an alert off. There are three different reset configurations available:
Non-Reset:
The counter can never be reset. A non-reset unit also has no front panel programming option.
Remote Reset:
A model with Remote reset has a dedicated terminal for performing the reset function. The unit resets when the remote reset signal
is at a high level. When the reset signal is at a low level, accumulating counts can occur.
Manual Reset:
Manual reset occurs when the RST switch on the front of the counter is pressed. Counting resumes upon release of the RST switch.
The exception to this operation is in the Dual Counter case in which the non-resettable counter can not be reset.
Note: Some counters are equipped with a Manual Reset Enable Input. In this case, the Manual Reset Enable Input must be high for the RST switch to
be functional.

3.
When interfacing the Model 63 with a Solid State Relay or AC Sensor, the leakage current needs to be considered. Contact the factory or see the
application note at www.redingtoncounters.com for further information.
The Absolute Voltage Range and the Absolute Maximum Voltage are the voltages at which operation beyond the specified limits may result in
damage to the unit.
Operates like open-collector NPN. Care should be taken when interfacing to this input since there is no current limiting protection in the counter.
