Distinctive Merit

Timer Counter
The Timer Counter enables users to produce consistent quality parts without sacrificing time and money usually inherent in quality-management systems. This new 3687-based system tracks how many times a process has been started and the total time of the process. A simple push-button switch is used to reset the time and starts counters. And, an LCD makes reading the data easy. A reed switch is used for the input for process monitoring. If the switch is wrapped with a couple wraps of an output power lead, the switch will be active whenever current is flowing. The Timer Counter works well for welding and plasma cutting equipment because the operator is unable to see the display while the process is active.
