CHAPTER ONE: BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Features
Delta CTA series is the 3-in-1 timer, counter and tachometer with the following features:
Can be a timer, counter, or tachometer and can operate in timer + counter mixed mode.
Offers voltage input (PNP) or non-voltage input (NPN).
The Pre-Scale function allows the input pulses to be displayed in their actual units.
Counting speeds available: 1/30/200/1K/5K/10K cps. Maximum: 10K cps.
The counting can be conducted in millisecond, second, minute, minute/second and
hour/minute/second.
Output 1 contains relay output and transistor output. The two types of outputs can be enabled
concurrently.
Offers total counting and batch counting.
“Reset” and “Lock” keys for more convenient use.
Offers 6-digit double-line LCD display.
Offers easy DIP switch setup.
Decimal point setup available.
1.2 Ordering Information
There are currently two model types available: CTA4000A and CTA4100A, only differentiating in the
type of output 2.
