Note: A K3NC with DC supply voltage requires approximately 1 A DC as control power supply current the moment the K3NC is turned ON. Do not
forget to take this into consideration when using several K3NC units. When the K3NC is not in measuring operation (e.g., the K3NC has
been just turned ON or is operating for startup compensation time), the display will read “00000” and all outputs will be OFF.

Approximately 30 ms after the REQ signal rises, a sample is taken and the DATA VALID signal is output. Read the data when the DATA VALID
signal is ON.
The DATA VALID signal will turn OFF in 40 ms, and then in 16 ms, the data will go OFF.
Models with a BCD output have an open collector output configuration so that wired-OR connection is possible.

■ Output Operation Timing in RUN Mode (Relay and Transistor Outputs)
The K3NC can output the results of Up/Down counting as comparative outputs.
The output mode can be set to the ALL-H mode or the ALL-L mode.
ALL-H
ALL-L
If the ALL-H output mode is selected, outputs 1 to 5 will be
ON when the measured value exceeds set values 1 to 5.
If the ALL-L output mode is selected, outputs 1 to 5 will be
ON when the measured value is less than set values 1 to 5.

Note: Set value 2 < compensation value < set value 3
While the reset signal is ON, the counting value will return to zero.
Note: Set value 2 < compensation value < set value 3
When the compensation signal is ON, the K3NC will be in counting operation starting with the preset compensation value. Depending on the setting
conditions, the compensation value will be effective only for the incrementing operation.
■ Output Delay (Reference Value)
The following table shows the time required for a K3NC in a system to go into reverse output operation after the counting value reaches the value
preset with the K3NC, and is due to the output processing time of the K3NC, signal transmission time of the system, and the relay connected to
the K3NC.

Note: Output delay time varies with the operating environment. If the output delay time will possibly have a serious influence on your system, check

Precautions
!WARNING
Do not touch any of the terminals while the power is being supplied. Doing so may result in electric shock.
!Caution
Do not allow metal objects or conductive wire cuttings to enter the
product. Doing so may result in electric shock, fire, or malfunction.
!Caution
Do not attempt to take the product apart or touch any internal parts
while the power is being supplied. Doing so may result in electric
shock.
!Caution
Do not use the product in locations subject to flammable or explosive gases. Doing so may result in explosion.
!Caution
The lifetime of output relays varies greatly with the switching capacity and conditions. Consider the actual operating conditions,
and use the relays within the rated load without exceeding the
number of operations specified as the rated electrical life. Using
relays beyond their rated electrical life may result in contact deposit or burning.
!Caution
Do not use loads exceeding the rated value. Doing so may result
in damage or burning.
!Caution
Use a power supply voltage within the specified range. Not doing
so may result in damage or burning.
!Caution
Use settings that are appropriate for the control system. Discrepancies between the settings and the actual control conditions may
result in unexpected operation leading to damage or accidents.
!Caution
Be sure to tighten terminal screws to the specified torque.
Specified torque for M3.5 screws: 0.74 to 0.90 N·m
Loose screws may result in burning or malfunction.
■ Application Precautions
• Use a power supply voltage within the specified range. Not doing
so may result in damage or burning.
• Be sure to perform wiring correctly, verifying the terminal names.
Incorrect wiring may result in burning.
• Be sure to tighten the screws on the terminal block properly.
• Do not connect anything to unused terminals.
■ Correct Use
Long-term Use
Use all products within the specified ranges. When using inside a
control panel, ensure that the temperature around the product, rather
than the temperature around the control panel, does not exceed the
specified temperature range. Electronic products, such as this product, have a lifetime that is dependent on the lifetime of internal electronic components, as opposed to the lifetime related to the number
of relay switching operations. The lifetime of these components varies with the temperature; the higher the temperature, the shorter the
lifetime. Therefore, the product lifetime can be extended by lowering
the internal temperature of the product.
When several Counting Meters are mounted close together (either
horizontally or vertically), the internal temperature of the Counting
Meters may rise, leading to a reduction in the lifetime. In this case,
take measures to cool the Counting Meters, such as installing fans.
Ensure, however, that the terminals are not cooled as this may lead
to incorrect measurement.
Operating Environment
Do not use the product in locations subject to temperatures or humidity levels above the specified ranges, or in locations subject to condensation.
Do not use the product in locations subject to severe shocks or vibrations.
Separate the product from machines that generate high-frequency
noise, such as high-frequency welding machines and high-frequency
sewing machines.
Do not use the product in locations subject to dust or corrosive
gases.
Do not use the product outdoors or in locations subject to direct sunlight.
Operation
When using models with comparative outputs, if an error occurs at
the Counting Meter, comparative output may not operate correctly.
We therefore recommend that you consider providing an alarm system separately as a countermeasure.
Parameter settings that allow the functions to operate properly are
made, using the setting menu, at the factory prior to delivery. When
using the product, change the settings as required for the application.
Mounting
Recommended panel thickness is 1 to 3.2 mm.
Panel
C-146
Up/Down Counting Meter K3NC
Attach the mounting bracket on the left and right sides of the Counting Meter as shown in the illustration above and gradually tighten
each screw evenly in turn by considering the balance of the tightening force until the ratchets start slipping without being further tightened.
Unit Label (Provided)
No product is shipped with the unit label attached. Select a unit label
from the sheet provided and attach it to the Counting Meter.
Mount the Counting Meter as horizontally as possible.
Waterproof Specifications
Counters
Products for which the degree of protection is not specified or models
with IP@0 degree of protection do not have waterproof specifications.
Noise Countermeasures
Separate the product as far as possible from machines that generate
high-frequency noise, such as high-frequency welding machines and
high-frequency sewing machines, and machines that generate
surges.
Attach surge absorbers or noise filters to noise-generating peripheral
devices (in particular, devices with inductance such as motors, transformers, solenoids, and magnet coils).

In order to prevent inductive noise, wire the lines connected to the
terminal block separately from power lines carrying high voltages or
large currents. Also, do not wire in parallel to, or in the same cable as
power lines. There are other methods that are effective for reducing
noise, such as running wires along ducts and using shield lines.
When using a noise filter for the power supply, check the voltage and
current and install as close to the Counting Meter as possible.

Prescaling
The prescale function makes it possible to convert the counting value of the
K3NC into an appropriate value.
For example, the system shown in the illustration outputs 250 pulses when
the object is advanced 0.5 m. To enable the K3NC to display @@@@.@ (mm),
obtain the advanced length of the object per pulse from the following formula.
500 mm (0.5 m)/250 = 2
1. The prescale value is set by the mantissa X multiplied by the exponent Y
as follows:
Prescale value = 2.0000 x 100
X = 2.0000, Y = 00
2. Set the decimal point to the left of the rightmost digit.
