Operation
Key protection and whether each counter operates as a counter or a timer are specified on a DIP switch provided on the side panel of the
Counter. Open the cover of the switch compartment on the side of the Counter to access the DIP switch.
The system will always enter the RUN mode after the power supply is turned ON.

Note 1. Set the DIP switch (except for Key Protection) before turning
ON the power.
Changes to DIP switch settings while the Counter is operating
will be ignored. Power must be turned OFF then back ON
after changing the settings.
Changes to DIP switch settings are also enabled when
changing to initial setting mode because the same operation
is performed as when cycling the power.
2. Key protection can be set for each key. Key protection will be
performed based on the details set in the initial setting mode.

Initial Setting Mode
