CONNECTIONS & CONFIGURATION SWITCH SET-UPS FOR VARIOUS SENSOR OUTPUTS

1. 

SENSOR SUPPLY VOLTAGE AND CURRENT

The  +12  V  sensor  supply  voltage  on  the 

“+12  VDC”

Terminal  is  nominal

with ±25% variation due to line and internal load variations. All RLC sensors
will accommodate this variation.

2. 

HI/LO FRQ. SELECTION

The  HI/LO  FRQ  Selection  switch  must  be  set  on  LO  FRQ  when  switch
contacts are used to generate count input signals. Since the LO FRQ mode
also  provides  very  high  immunity  against  electrical  noise  pickup,  it  is
recommended  that  this  mode  also  be  used,  whenever  possible,  with

electronic  sensor  outputs,  as  added  insurance.  The  LO  FRQ  mode  can  be
used with any type of sensor output, provided the count pulse widths never
decrease below 5 milliseconds, and the count rate does not exceed 100 Hz.

3. V

IL

and V

IH

levels given are nominal values ±10%, when the counter voltage

at the 

“+12 VDC”

Terminal, is +12 VDC. These nominal values will vary in

proportion to the variations in 

“+12 VDC”

Terminal voltage, caused by line

voltage and load changes.

4. When shielded cable is used, the shield should be connected  to COMM. at

the counter and left unconnected at sensor end.

NOTES:

INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT

The  unit  should  be  installed  in  a  location  that  does  not  exceed  the

maximum  operating  temperature  and  provides  good  air  circulation.  Placing
the unit near devices that generate excessive heat should be avoided.

The  bezel  should  be  cleaned  only  with  a  soft  cloth  and  neutral  soap

product. Do NOT use solvents.

Continuous exposure to direct sunlight may accelerate the aging process of

the bezel.

Do not use tools of any kind (screwdrivers, pens, pencils, etc.) to operate

the keypad of the unit.

Installation

The Libra counters meet NEMA 4/IP65 requirements for indoor use, when

properly  installed.  The  units  are  intended  to  be  mounted  into  an  enclosed
panel  with  a  gasket  to  provide  a  water-tight  seal.  Two  mounting  clips  and
screws are provided for easy installation. Consideration should be given to the
thickness of the panel. A panel that is too thin may distort and not provide a
water-tight seal. 

(Recommended minimum panel thickness is 1/8" {3.2 mm}.)

After the panel cut-out has been completed and deburred, carefully apply

the gasket to the panel. 

DO NOT APPLY THE ADHESIVE SIDE OF THE

GASKET TO THE COUNTER BEZEL

. Insert the unit into the panel. As

depicted in the drawing 

(at right)

, install the screws into the narrow end of the

mounting  clips.  Thread  the  screws  into  the  clips  until  the  pointed  end  just
protrudes  through  the  other  side.  Install  each  of  the  two  mounting  clips  by
inserting  the  wide  lip  of  the  clips
into  the  front  end  of  the  hole,
located on either side of the case.
Then  snap  the  clip  onto  the  case.
Tighten  the  screws  evenly  to
apply  uniform  compression,  thus
providing a water-tight seal.

Caution:

Only 

minimum 

pressure  is  required  to  seal
panel.  Do 

NOT

overtighten 

mounting screws.

NOTE: IF EXTERNAL SUPPLY IS USED TO POWER
CMOS CIRCUIT, VOLTAGE MUST BE EQUAL TO
OR GREATER THAN DC OUT VOLTAGE.

NOTE: CIRCUIT SHOWN FOR STD, TTL OUTPUT. TTL
CIRCUITS ARE AVAILABLE WITH OPEN COLLECTOR
OUTPUTS ELIMINATING NEED FOR DIODE CLAMP.
