Red Lion C48C Counters

Red Lion C48C Counters are multi-purpose industrial control devices that are field-programmable for various applications. These counters provide the capability to program different functions into the unit to adapt to different indication and control requirements. The C48C counters are available as standard or batch counters. These counters feature a 7-segment, 2-line by 6-digit reflective or backlit LCD display. The C48C counters are constructed of a lightweight, high-impact plastic case with a textured front panel and a clear display window. These counters can be programmed to register counts on both edges of the input signal, providing frequency-doubling capability. The C48C counters support configuration for one of two numeric data entry methods, which are digit entry or automatic scrolling. These counters offer a choice of nine programmable counting modes for applications requiring bi-directional, anti-coincidence, and quadrature counting.
