DESCRIPTION

The MDMU is a complete 6 digit Counter/Timer in a small panel or printed 

circuit board mounted package. It is designed to operate from a 5 VDC power 
supply. It has a 6 digit LCD, with 0.35" high digits, and 3 selectable decimal 
points. In the timer modes, a flashing annunciator is supplied to indicate that the 
signal input of the MDMU is active. The displays are available in positive image 
reflective (black digits, reflective background) or negative image transmissive 
(illuminated digits, dark background) with red or yellow/green backlighting.

The MDMU has four Mode Select and two Decimal Point Select inputs 

available for determining the basic operation. In most applications, the MS and 
DP inputs are hard wired to select the appropriate function (counter or timer) 
and counter decimal point position.

The COUNTER mode is selected by setting the Mode select inputs to the 

appropriate levels (Hardware selection). Decimal points may also be set using 
the DP Inputs (Hardware selection). 

The TIMER mode and range is selected by setting the Mode Select inputs to 

the appropriate levels (Hardware selection). The timing range increments 
available are

 

1 msec, 10 msec, 100 msec, 1 sec, 0.1 min, 1 min, 0.01 hr, 0.1 hr, 

and 1 hr. The TIMER ACTIVE annunciator will flash at a 1 Hz rate when the 
input to the timer is activated.

CAUTION

This device contains CMOS circuitry which requires special anti-static 

handling to the same degree required by standard CMOS integrated 
circuits. Units should be stored in the conductive package used to ship the 
device. Containers should be opened and units handled only on a 
conductive table top by personnel wearing wrist-strap grounding equipment. 
These devices have the same protection circuits as standard CMOS devices 
to prevent damage to inputs due to nominal over-voltage.
