Selection of desired operating modes is easily done by moving terminal leads in the 

Input Connector Body. The Connector body is polarized to prevent incorrect insertion, and 

locked in place by the connector latch to avoid accidental disengagement. Connectors are 

supplied with the 3 leads installed as shown at right. A spare blue lead is supplied in the 

hardware pack.

Removing Terminal:

 Insert blade of a small 

screwdriver into slot of connector body, and 

gently push in to disengage the locking 

pawl.  Pull terminal out.

Inserting Terminal

: When inserting into 

connector body, make sure the locking pawl 

is toward the slot in the body. Push terminal 

in until the locking pawl snaps into slot.

APPLICATION FLEXIBILITY VIA RECONNECT OPTIONS

Pulling the “L.S. CNT.” Input to Common with a mechanical or solid-state 

switch increments the counter. The low pass filter 

(1 meg resistor and 0.015 

pf cap)

 used with a Schmidt trigger circuit debounces mechanical switch 

signals. The switch load is 14 µA 

(max. voltage drop 0.5 V)

 when ON. OFF-

state leakage current must be less than 2 µA.

Reed switches, mercury wetted contacts, snap action limit switches, and 

silver alloy relay contacts with wiping action are usually satisfactory for 

generating count input signals. Motor starter contacts, tungsten contacts, and 

brush-type contacts should 

NOT

 be used. Normally open contacts are 

recommended for longer battery life and greater noise immunity.

Moving the white wire to the “H.S. CNT.” Input allows the CUB Counter 

to operate at speeds up to 5 KHz when driven by bi-polar outputs or external 

circuits having an output impedance of 3.3 K

 or less. Input drive voltage 

must be limited to 3.0 V maximum to avoid damage to the counter. Outputs 

higher than 3.0 V can be used with an external voltage divider, as shown.

RESET OPTIONS

Connecting the “RST. EN.” 

(Reset Enable)

 Input to Common activates the 

front panel Reset button. To deactivate the front panel Reset button, remove 

the yellow wire from the “RST. EN.” Input.

When Remote Reset is required, the blue wire in the hardware pack is 

inserted in the “REM. RST.” Input. Pulling this input low causes the counter 

to reset. The “REM. RST.” can be pulled low by either a mechanical switch 

or solid-state transistor switch. Switch load and leakage are the same as for 

“L.S. CNT.” Input above.

Note: The RC protection circuit on the “REM. RST.” Input causes a delay of 

approximately 15 msec in Reset response.
