Description:
The MS287 is a special version of our Minitrol series counter/
ratemeter.
The standard Minitrol is modified to bring a 60Hz
(50Hz) signal to pin 10 (AC powered units only). The user has the
option of connecting this signal to the A input, B input or both. By
entering the proper scaling factor, the user can scale the input to
read the desired time base. EXAMPLE: If the unit is powered with
115VAC @ 60Hz, The scaling factor for A can be set to yield
different time bases: i.e. 60 yields seconds, 360 yields minutes & 1/
10, 3600 yields minutes, etc. Input B can be scaled the same way
or used as a separate counter.
special can be used in many applications involving time/count
control.
To order this special, add the prefix "MS287" to the
standard Minitrol part number, i.e. MS287MC2A3.

Application:
This product special is especially useful for combined counter and
timer control functions. It has been used in applications such as
controlling the lubrication of a gear box in a drilling machine. The
gear box has to be lubricated for 5 seconds every 10 minutes. The
lubricating fluid needs to be changed after 75,000 lubrications.
This is easily accomplished using the MS287MC2A3.
The unit is programmed as follows:
Factor: factor of A = 3600, factor of B = 1.
Count: rst 0 (reset to 0), A sep B (A & B are separate counters), Hi
CPS (0-10KHz input speed).
Relay: A = 5.0 (duration of A relay is 5 seconds), B = 0.0 (duration
of B relay is latched till reset).
Presets: Preset A = 10, Preset B = 75,000
The relay on the machine which is energized when the machine is
running is connected between pin 10 (60Hz) and pin 5 (input A). A
simple solder jumper modification is made on the PC board to
make B a "batch" counter. Counter B will advance once for each
output of A. Relay A is connected to a solenoid valve which
controls the lubricating fluid. 115VAC/60Hz is connected to pins 11
& 12.
1
This system operates as follows:
When the machine is running, the relay on the machine is ener-
gized and the A counter starts to accumulate time. When the A
counter (timer) reaches 10 (preset A), the A counter resets, the A
Relay energizes and opens the solenoid valve for 5 seconds and
the B counter advances one. The system will run this cycle until
the B counter reaches 75,000.
75,000, the B Relay energizes and turns on a light to signal that the
fluid needs to be changed.

  • Page 8: How To Mount The Unit

    HOW TO MOUNT THE UNIT The unit is designed to be mounted with a gasket providing a water tight seal. Two mounting brackets are provided to secure the unit to the panel. A panel less than .1" may distort if the clamps are screwed too tightly. Slide the body of the unit through the rubber gasket.
  • Page 9: Wiring Minitrol

    WIRING MINITROL The rear terminal contains 12 screw terminals for connecting #14 to #28 gauge wire. The unit is controlled by a microprocessor and, therefore, an electrically "noisy" environment could cause operating problems. The input power line should not be common to power lines for motors, pumps, contactors, etc. The unit is designed to be immune from line or RF voltage interference.
  • Page 10 CONNECTING AC / DC POWER NOTE: Connect power only after other connections are finished. Do not touch the live AC power terminals! The unit has been designed with an isolated AC input. Thus, polarity is not a concern for the AC input. The chassis is plastic, therefore earth ground is not used.
