18. Lock the stainless steel screw by tightening the
hex jam nut behind the mounting holder bracket.
19. Replace the ram and install the applicator in
the machine.
20. Place the counter in the “Switch Selection”
mode and select select the left reed switch. (Refer
to Section 4.4.)
21. With the terminator at “top–dead–center,”
observe the state of the switch by putting the the
counter in the “Switch State” mode. Slide the
counter toward the housing until the state of the
switch changes. Then move the counter an
additional 1mm toward the housing and tighten the
counter bracket mounting screws.
NOTE
i
It doesn't matter which state the counter is in at
top-dead-center." It is only important that the
state changes when the applicator is cycled and
returns to the original state at the end of the
cycle.
22. Cycle the machine. Verify that the counter’s
“Total Count” increases by one for every machine
cycle.
NOTE
i
Check the counter's operation after any feed
adjustment to the applicator.
4. COUNTER OPERATION
The counter is always in an “ON” state. Whenever the
ring magnet actuates a reed switch, a count will be
recorded. However, to conserve battery life the
counter enters a Sleep mode when no activity is
detected. In the Sleep mode both the display and the
infrared communication port are turned off.
NOTE
i
The Total Count cannot be reset.
4.2. Serial Number Mode
If the pushbutton is pressed a second time, the serial
number for the counter is displayed. The serial
number is used to uniquely identify the counter and
the applicator (Figure 15).
Serial Number Icon
Figure 15
If the counter has not been programmed with a serial
number, a series of dashes is displayed. The serial
number is programmed into the counter using the
Electronic Applicator Counter Software.
If the pushbutton is held down, the serial number
continues to be displayed. The counter will return to
the Sleep mode five seconds after the pushbutton is
released.
NOTE
The serial number cannot be changed.

4.3. Infrared Communication Mode/Test Display/
Software Version
If the pushbutton is pressed a third time, the counter
is put in its infrared communication mode. See
Figure 16.
Pressing the counter’s pushbutton turns on the
display. However, it remains on only for a short time
unless the pushbutton is held down.
4.1. Total Count Mode
The first time the pushbutton is pressed, the display is
turned on, the test screen is momentarily flashed, and
then the Total Count is displayed. If the pushbutton is
held down, the Total Count continues to be displayed
(Figure 14). The counter will return to the Sleep mode
five seconds after the pushbutton is released.

Sending Data
Infrared Communication Icon
Figure 16
Arrows are displayed to the right of the infrared
communication icon to indicate whether data is being
read from or sent to the counter. The counter is
placed in the Infrared Communication mode so it
can communicate with a host computer running the
Electronic Applicator Counter Software.
If the pushbutton is held down for three seconds, the
test display and the counter’s software version are
alternately displayed. The counter will return to the
Sleep mode 15 seconds after the pushbutton is
