OPERATION
POWER SUPPLY:
Connect negative side
of power supply (Gnd) to pins A14 and A15
of connector and the positive side (+5VDC ±
5%) to pins B14 and B15. Even though the
current requirements of the PC-40 are low
(150 mA maximum @ 5VDC), redundant
contacts are used to enhance the reliability
of the connection.
COUNT INPUT:
Connect signal input to
pins A10 and A14 or A15. Signal LO should
go to A14 or A15 and Signal HI should go to
pin A10. Input impedance is 100 KΩ.
Count Up: To count up connect pin
B10 to +5VDC
& B8 to A1
Count Down:
To count down connect pin
B10 to Ground
& B8 to Ground
The PC-40 counts a pulse during the
positive-going part of the pulse or when a
contact made to ground is closed. Using
pulse
or
contact-closure
maximum input rate is 50 per second. The
input signal may vary from zero to +3 - +15
volts in amplitude. When using voltage level
input with no contact bounce, the PC-40 will
operate at speeds up to 1,000,000 per
second. To achieve this speed, capacitors
C1, C2 and C3 must be removed from the
main board assembly.
To remove the capacitors, perform the
following steps:
1. Insert the blade of a small screwdriver or
pen knife between case and rear cover,

RESET:
contact closure to ground will cause a reset
of the counter. If a pulse is used the duration
+5VDC
must be at least 20 mSec, or with filter
POWER
removed at least 1 µSec.
DECIMAL POINT AND DATA
STROBE:
jumper between pin A13 and pins B1, B2,
B3 or B4 depending upon which decimal
point is to be illuminated. If a decimal point
is not desired, jumper pin A13 to pin B14.
Decimal Location
Pin Number
As a data strobe, the true state is low. When
one of the four strobe lines is low, it means
that the four multiplexed BCD data output
lines are presenting the BCD code as an
output for the decade indicated by that
strobe line.
BCD OUTPUTS:
BCD data output lines, pins A6, A7, A8 and
A9, are the 1-2-4-8 BCD bits for the four
digits. True is a high state. The decimal point
and data strobe lines described above are
used to decode the multiplexed data output.
The decimal point data output is obtained by
connection to the decimal point data is
decoded with the data strobe lines. For the
inputs,
the
decimal point location, data output true is
low. An overflow indication is provided at pin
A12: true is high.

is provided which will permit the user to
cascade PC-40's. This output goes to +5
volts on the count of 9999. On the next pulse
input the voltage goes low. Allowable
loading is one CMOS loa
outward.
ZERO SUPPRESSION
zeros to the left of a significant digit can be
suppressed. to do so, leave pin A2 open. To
display all numbers, ground pin A2.
BLANKING/INTENSITY CONTROL:
is possible to shut off the display or control
its intensity while operating in a count mode.
Pin A11 must be connected to +5VDC ±5%
for the display to be on. Placing a switch in
the line permits display on-off. A variable
resistor
permits
Recommended resistance is 0 to 1 KΩ.
Maximum current is 150 mA @ 5 volts.
LATCH ENABLE:
ground causes the display to follow the
input. Each input pulse will be counted and
displayed. An open or no connection results
in the display of the number in the counter at
the time of the opening of the line.
Reconnection to ground causes an update
of the data to the then present number on
the counter. This function holds for total
counts to 9999.
CALIBRATION
required; there are no adjustments in the
counter.
