• Changing the set value

1. It is possible to change the set

value with the up and down keys (4-

digit type only) even during counting.

However, be aware of the following

points.

1) If the set value is changed to less than

the count value with counting set to the

addition direction, counting will continue

until it reaches full scale (9999 with the

4-digit type and 999999 with the 6-digit

type), returns to zero, and then reaches

the new set value. If the set value is

changed to a value above the count

value, counting will continue until the

count value reaches the new set value.

2) Suppose that the counter is preset to

count down. Whether a preset count-

down value is smaller or larger than the

count value, the counter counts down to

“0(Zero)”.

2. If the set value is changed to “0,”

the unit will not complete count-up. It

starts counting up when the counting

value comes to “0 (Zero)” again.

1) Up-count (addition) input when count-

ing is set to the addition direction, count-

ing will continue until full scale is reached

(9999 with the 4-digit type and 999999

with the 6-digit type), return to zero, and

then complete count-up.

2) Down-count (subtraction) input when

counting is set to the subtraction direc-

tion, counting will continue until full scale

is reached (-999 with the 4-digit type and

-99999 with the 6-digit type), and then

the display will change to

with

the 4-digit type and

with the

6-digit type. The counting value does not

become “0” and so the counter does not

count up.

3) For directive, independent, and phase

input, when the counting value increases

or decreases from the value "0" and then

returns back to the value "0," count-up is

completed.
