Electronic 63 Quick Start Manual

Model 63

Description

The Model 63 Electronic Hour Meter with 8 LCD digits brings more features to the user than ever before. Models are available that are simple Hour
Meters, while other models can bring together enough features to control a significant process.
A long list of features includes a programmable output, an external electronic reset, a front panel reset enable, and programmable alert or preset capabil-
ity. In addition, the unit can be configured to operate from an external DC power supply or an internal 15+ year lithium battery. An EEPROM is available
with the externally powered units to retain last data when power goes down. The front end of the Model 63 Hour Meter utilizes a high-contrast, reflective,
8-digit LCD with 0.32 inch [8mm] digits and seven icons, while at the back end Dry Contact, Low Voltage DC, and High Voltage DC and AC Inputs are
available.
The Model 63 family is designed with a rugged plastic housing that is qualified to NEMA 4/4X when properly installed in a panel using an optional gasket.
In addition, the unit is compliant with CE EMC standards to EN61326:2001 for industrial applications, the unit is recognized by UL for U.S. and Canadian
safety standards, and it is compliant to European RoHS and WEEE standards.

Capabilities

Hour Meter Operation

Any of four different counting methods may be specified. These counting methods are factory set.
Hour Meter: The Hour Meter displays hours in a resolution of hours and tenths. A front panel programmable unit or a factory programmed unit
can be programmed to display a resolution of 0.01 hours.
Minute Meter: The Minute Meter displays minutes to a displayed resolution of 0.1 minutes.
Seconds Meter: The Seconds Meter displays seconds to a displayed resolution of 0.1 seconds.
Dual Hour Meter: The Dual Hour Meter measures the time that Input A is at a high level in two accumulated times. One of the times can be reset,
while the other cannot. The displayed times can be swapped on the display be pressing and releasing the SEL switch. The Dual
Hour Meter is only available with the front panel programming option.
Twin Hour Meter: The Twin Hour Meter behaves as two Hour Meters in one package. One Hour Meter is enabled by Input A and the second is en
abled by Input B. The displayed Hour Meters can be swapped by pressing and releasing the SEL switch. The Twin Hour Meter is
only available with the front panel programming option.

I/O Functions

The I/O functions can be mixed and matched to maximize the functionality of the Hour Meter. There are three types of inputs that the Hour Meter can
accept. The interfaces for each are factory set. The inputs can be
• Switch – open circuit or switch closure
• Low Voltage DC – Low input is less than 1VDC and High Input is 3 – 30VDC.
Electronic
• Choice of external power (with EEPROM) or internal 15+ year battery
• Optional Front Panel Programming for flexible Redi-Alert or Preset
Hour Meter functionality
• Optional Redi-Alert Functions
