An automatic exit will take place after six seconds or immediately if the

Program Disable terminal is connected to common. Normal length of display

time for each of the patterns is approximately 0.5 seconds. Rapidly pressing the

“+/-” key during self test can speed up the process.

INPUT CIRCUITRY & SET-UP

There are two independent input channels on the Gemini. Various types of

sensor outputs can be accommodated by appropriate DIP switch set-up; such as

TTL or CMOS logic, current sinking, current sourcing, or dry contact.

Channel A consists of a logic input and a separate low level magnetic pickup

input.

Channel B is a completely independent count or control input channel. Like

Channel A, it can be programmed with DIP switches for a wide variety of logic

inputs and is identical to Channel A in this regard.

For a complete detailed description of set-up, see Appendix “A”.

OVERFLOW INDICATION

The Gemini features an overflow indicator (LED) which is located to the left

of the sixth digit and above the polarity annunciator. This LED will turn on if the

capacity of the display (6-digits) is exceeded or if the internal count capacity

(9-digits) is exceeded. Use of extremely small scale multiplier and scale factor

values can cause the internal count capacity to overflow before the displayed

value would overflow. It should also be noted that the use of Right Hand Dummy

Zeros or Scale Factors larger than one could cause the Displayed value to

overflow before a value of 999,999 (6-digits) is accumulated.

When the capacity of the display is exceeded, the count value will be

maintained and will be valid. But if the internal count value is exceeded, then this

value may no longer be valid.
