Pulse Counter Channel
A pulse counter channel is available through any Wildeye cable types that contain the "C" code.
Example: WILD-M-R-NACS-NACS
Counter channels are designed to read "pulse output" flow readings from power, water or gas meters. It is designed to accept pulse outputs that are either "dry contact" or reed-switch type output, or transistor "open collector" or "open-drain" type outputs.
Select the appropriate accessory to attach to your meter or sensor.
For meters/sensors with "bare wire" leads, select the M12 Field Connect accessory to attach to the flying lead. Wildeye M12 "Field Connect" Wiring
For meters/sensors with terminal block connections, use the M12 Bare Wire cable accessory. Wildeye M12 "Bare Wire" Cable Wiring

Wildeye M12 "Field Connect" Wiring
M12 Field Connects are available in 3 different sizes to suit the thickness of the cable coming from your meter/sensor:
ACC-CON-M12-5POS-M-3 - For meters/sensors with output cable thickness 2.5-3.5mm diameter
ACC-CON-M12-5POS-M-6 - For meters/sensors with output cable thickness 4-6mm diameter
ACC-CON-M12-5POS-M-8 - For meters/sensors with output cable thickness 6-8mm diameter

Counter Channel Details
Counter channels are designed to read "pulse output" flow readings from power, water or gas meters. It is designed to accept pulse outputs that are either "dry contact" or reed-switch type output, or transistor "open collector" or "open-drain" type outputs.
General Characteristics of the counter channel:
Maximum 20hz input signal
Minimum 25ms pulse width
1M ohm pullup to 2.8V
Tolerant to 30V permanent over-voltage accidentally applied to the counter input.
