! Caution
Do not touch the input terminals while power is supplied to the H8CA-S or you may experience an electric shock, since this counter does not have a built-in power transformer. Use of a model rated at a low DC voltage is recommended when the counter is installed at a location where the input terminals are easily accessible. Note: When connecting external signal input contacts and transistors, use a power supply having a power transformer whose primary and secondary circuits are isolated from each other with the secondary circuit not grounded, for the input devices, to prevent current feedback and short-circuiting.

Operations
I
Power Failure Detection
The H8CA-S is capable of detecting and indicating a power failure on the display. Before power application or when a power failure occurs, the PW OFF display ickers indicating that the control power supply is off.
Likewise, on power application, there is a period during which the counter does not respond to the input signal, as show below, because of a lag in the rise in the internal circuit voltage.
Relation Among t1, t2, and Supply Voltage
Operation and Display
OUT is displayed when counting or timing is complete. When MODE lights on display, terminals 1 and 3 ae connected. In this case, it is not possible to preset values. Be sure to disconnect the terminals. The H8CA-S uses regular read format, so the preset values can be changed whether power is ON or OFF. When changing the preset value during timer or counter operation, a signal will be output when the new value is the same as the displayed value. When a power failure occurs, there is a period during which the counter does not respond to the input signal, as shown below, because of the lag in the rise in the internal circuit voltage. The front panel keys operate at a touch. Do not press the keys with excessive force or tools, such as a screwdriver. Press only with ngers. After presetting values, part of the display might be blinking. The H8CA-S will operate normally in this condition, but press the key so that characters do not blink.
Mounting
There is no limitation in mounting direction. However, avoid mounting the unit at an angle. I I
Panel Mounting
Surface Mounting
Using Y92F-30 Adapter for Flush Mounting
Insert the H8CA-S into a square-cut hole from the front of the mounting panel; insert the adapter from the rear of the H8CA-S until the clearance between the panel surface and the adaptor is minimized. Then secure the H8CA-S with two screws onto the panel.
Using P2CF-11 Front Connecting Socket
When a number of the H8CA-S are mounted in a vertical line or when an H8CA-S is mounted close to an obstacle such as a wiring duct, be sure to provide a separation of approximately 20 mm (0.79 in) between adjacent units or between the unit and the obstacle to allow room for engagement and disengagement of hooks as shown below.

When mounting two or more counters in a vertical line, arrange all the adapters so that the molded springs of the Y92F-30 adapters are positioned on the right and left sides. Removal
H8CA-S
To remove an H8CA-S panel mounted witha Y92F-30 adapter, loosen the two screws of the adapter, pry up the top and bottom hooks of the adapter, and pull the H8CA-S out from the front of the panel.
Molded spring
When mounting two or more counters in a horizontal line, arrange all the adapters so that the molded springs of the Y92F-30 adapters are positioned on the top and bottom sides.
! Caution
The H8CA-S has a built-in lithium battery. Be sure to dispose of the old H8CA-S properly, as lithium batteries are likely to explode if incinerated.
Molded spring
By attaching the P3GA-11 back connecting socket to a panel mounted H8CA-S, wiring can be performed in the same manner as the front connecting socket.
