Welcome to the operator’s section of this manual. A naive person would believe that
this section would be required reading for the person who deals with the counter on
a day-to-day basis. In reality, however, about the only time these pages will see the
light of day is when the installer is in the checkout phase of the installation. This is
o.k. After all, who knows more about the specifics of the application than the in-
staller? Since the information in this section covers all models of the Eclipse and all
of the general programming possibilities, the installer is the best person to distill
the general information in this section into specific operator instructions that are
appropriate to the application. Furthermore, this section only describes the operator
functions of the front panel of the counter. What the operator needs to know about the
entire system, including external switches wired to the counter, will be specific to the
application.
There are four functions that the operator may be expected to do through the front
panel of this counter:
1. View count and rate values.
2. Push the reset button.
3. Change preset values.
4. Start and stop batch delivery.
Viewing Count and Rate Data
There are 13 items that may appear on the display as count or rate data. The number
of items depends upon the model and how it is programmed. At least two items will
appear on all models (total count and rate), and no Eclipse will show all 13 items
under any given programming configuration.
Each item that shows on the display will have two “screens” associated with it. One
screen is a title screen that identifies the item. The other screen is the value screen
that displays the numeric value for that item. Normally, a value screen showing a
number is displayed. The title screen, which identifies an item, appears when the

Enter
key is pressed. Title screens are made up of the dreaded 7 segment LED
versions of alpha characters. Use the magic decoder ring below to translate the title
screen.
