CT100

The CT100 is a vehicle counter with 4 X Up Count inputs and 4 X Down Count inputs. The counter has been designed to count the vehicles in a parking facility.

The counter is initially preset to the number of empty parking bays. As the vehicles enter the facility the counter counts down showing the number of available bays. When there is no more space the output relay is energised. This relay can be used to switch on a full sign to indicate that the facility has no more space.

The counter incorporates battery backed memory and will maintain its count value during a power fail condition. The maximum count value is 9999.

Standard features of the logic on the unit are :

Separate Up / Down Counter Inputs.

Eight separate inputs allow the counter to be used as an up counter, down counter or both simultaneously.

Battery Backed-Up Counter.

In the event of a power failure, the counter and alarm preset values will be maintained.

Full Alarm.

A relays is used to give an alarm output when the counter has counted down to zero free parking bays.

Built In Power Supply.

The built in power supply enables potential free contacts to be used without the need for an extra power supply.

CONFIGURING THE CT100

The push buttons on the front of the CT100 are used to configure the counter and to switch between auto and manual modes.

MODE BUTTON:

Each time the mode button is pressed the mode will change (AUTO-FULL-SPACE).

AUTO Mode: The counter will count the vehicles and operate the relay if there are no more spaces. A negative value indicates an excess number of vehicles in the facility.

FULL Mode: The counter will display FULL and the relay will be permanently on.

SPACE Mode: The counter will display SPCE and the relay will be permanently off.

EDIT BUTTON:

When the EDIT button is held in the counter will enter edit mode. The first value displayed is the actual count value which corresponds to the actual number of free spaces at this point in time. (Not the total number of parking spaces).

To change the actual count value perform the following steps:

Use the MODE button to increment the digit to edit the value.
Use the EDIT button to move to the next digit.

After the last digit has been edited, push the EDIT button again and a new value will be displayed. This is the total number of parking spaces.

To change the total number of parking spaces, perform the following steps:

Use the MODE button to increment the digit to edit the value.
Use the EDIT button to move to the next digit.

After the last digit has been edited, push the EDIT button again and this will exit the EDIT mode. The counter will now be in AUTO mode and the actual number of free spaces will be displayed.

EDIT + MODE BUTTON:

When the EDIT and MODE buttons are pressed together at the same time, the actual count value will be reset to the saved maximum value.
