We had an enquiry from a customer who needed a simple counter to fit into a very tight panel space, and they did not want to run mains wiring to it at all, just something that could sit there and count on its own for years.
This is where a standard mains-powered counter does not quite fit. Hengstler’s TICO 734 is a compact, battery-powered electronic counter that runs off its own internal lithium cell, so there is no external power wiring to plan for. It only needs a 29 mm mounting depth, which helps in a shallow panel, and the 8-digit LCD display is available with optional backlighting if the panel sits in a dim area. It is genuinely multifunctional: depending on the variant, it can work as a totalizer, a preset counter, a tachometer, a timer, or a position monitor, with up to two presets and a TTL-compatible input, and Hengstler offers 10 functional variants of this counter to match different applications.
From our experience, before we quote this, we would normally check exactly which function the customer needs, totalizing, preset, tachometer, timer, or position, since that determines which variant and operating manual applies, and confirm the pulse signal type from the sensor. Hope this helps.
