Basic Operating Instructions
Rate, Time, and Counter Modes Explained
In Rate Mode, the DTM8000 measures the input frequency, converts it to the user-defined units, and
displays the rate in the display window of the user interface. Most applications utilize rate mode and
display in units such as gallons-per-minute, feet-per-second, and RPM.
In Time Mode, the DMT8000 measures the input frequency, converts it to the user-defined time units,
and displays the time in the display window. This mode is most-commonly used in time-sensitive
processes such as conveyor ovens and plating applications.
In Counter Modes, the DTM8000 counts each incoming pulse, scales it per the user-defined ratios, and
displays the count in the display window. Typical counting applications include linear material
measurement, cycle counters, and liquid volume measurement.

Operating the User Interface (The Long Story)
The LED display has three basic operating modes: Running Mode, Parameter-Selection Mode, and
Value Mode. Each of the three modes have specific visual indicators that allow the user to immediately
determine the current state or mode of the user interface. Parameter-Selection Mode and Value
Mode can only be entered if the Program Enable jumper is in the On position.
