For counters that come with a backlight you have the possibility to adjust the

intensity of their backlight.

To get into the menu of the adjustment, you have to press SHIFT for more than

5 seconds. The display then shows:

By pressing the UP or DOWN key the display gets brighter or darker.

If the E-button is pressed within 15 s, you go back to the normal counter dis-

play and the adjusted setting is saved. If the E-button is not pressed within 15

seconds, you will go back automatically to the normal counter menu without

saving any made changes.

Factory setting

(Defaults)

Sets all the function codes to the factory settings, i.e. all codes designated

with *.

Prescaler (pulse metering factor):

The “Prescaler” is a multiplier. Each input pulse is multiplied by the adjusted

factor. The display shows integers only. After a reset the counter is completely

reset to 0; this also includes the non-visible value of < 1.

At a prescaler of >1 not all the values are selectable. If invalid Preset values

are selected, the counter will round them up to the next possible value.

Example: PSC 5 cannot select (reach) Preset value 7. In this case, the counter

automatically changes the Preset value to 10).

If the Prescaler is changed, this may also affect the Preset values, which may

have to be changed accordingly.

Adjusting range 0,0001 to 99,9999

The Prescaler is used, for example, to convert counter pulses into meaningful

units, to adapt the units of measurements (e.g. cm-pulses to inch-pulses), or

to compensate for worn out measuring wheels.

Formula: PSC = Desired/nominal display / number of pulses

Example: Flowmeter 173 pulses per 100 liters; display in liters

PSC = 100 / 173 = 0,5780

Example: 1 pulse per cm; display in inch

PSC = 1 / 2,54 = 0,3937
