INC. (+1): Closing this switch momentarily increments the count by 1. Holding

the switch closed will cause the display to increment rapidly. If the
count is at ‘9999’, incrementing will cause the display to blank.
Incrementing again will roll the count over to ‘0’.


DEC. (-1): Closing this switch momentarily decrements the count by 1. Holding

the switch closed will cause the display to decrement rapidly. If the
count is at ‘0’, decrementing will cause the display to blank.
Decrementing again will roll the count over to ‘9999’


OPEN: Closing this switch momentarily makes the display show ‘OPEN’. A

toggle switch may be connected to this input to hold it closed if it is
desired to have the display revert to ‘OPEN’ whenever the data signal
is not present.


FULL: Closing this switch momentarily makes the display show ‘FULL’. A

toggle switch may be connected to this input to hold it closed if it is
desired to have the display revert to ‘FULL’ whenever the data signal is
not present.

To Quickly Reset the Count to ‘0’:
Hold the INC. and DEC. switches closed at the same time until the count resets.

To Blank the Display:
Reset the count to ‘0’ and then decrement once.

Connecting Client Displays:
The display controller will transmit its display information on the “Signal Out”
terminals available inside the control enclosure. Any display, set to the same address
as the sending display, can receive this signal and show the exact same information.
