PC-100
Scanning Head
This manual provides instructions for using the product. Please read it before use.
1. Introduction
The PC-100 is a portable sensing head with TTL output. It is designed to detect LED flashes in meters, such as electricity meters. The device features a small, lightweight housing made of rugged ABS and Polycarbonate filter material. This product is compatible with all devices that have an LED flash pulser.
2. How to use
2.1 Recognizable Colors
The PC-100 has the ability to detect common LED colors, including:
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Green
- Infrared
2.2 Conversion Ratio from Input to Output Pulses
The sensor’s output TTL pulse is a specific ratio of the input optical pulse (LED flash). This ratio can be 1:1, 10:1, or 100:1 (input : output).
- 1:1 mode: In this mode, each output pulse is equivalent to 1 input optical pulse (LED flash).
- 10:1 mode: In this mode, each output pulse is equivalent to 10 input optical pulses (LED flashes).
- 100:1 mode: In this mode, each output pulse is equivalent to 100 input optical pulses (LED flashes).
The conversion ratio can be set by the user using a button. The LED color indicates the current status of the ratio, as shown in the table below
Additionally, the sensor stores the current status in its internal memory after each conversion ratio change and resumes operation with the same conversion ratio upon restart.
2.3 Connector
The PC-100 does not feature a connector, but instead utilizes a three-wire cable as outlined in the table below.
The customer can order the desired connector.
