Product Description:

The 0799008-201 is a programmable panel-mount timer and counter produced by Danaher within the Timers and Controllers series. Designed for discrete automation, the unit tracks elapsed time, event totals, or shaft revolutions and shows results on its front display for operators or PLC data logging. By combining timing and counting functions in one enclosure, it eliminates the need for separate modules and simplifies wiring in conveyors, packaging equipment, and general machine-monitoring applications.

Readouts appear on the integrated display, where each character has a height of 0.35 in (8.9 mm) so values can be read from standard control-panel distances. The main counter supports up to 8 digits, while the screen uses an industrial LCD that maintains contrast over a broad temperature range. The bezel has a NEMA 4 rating, allowing washdown cleaning without water entering the enclosure. For rapid event tracking, the high-speed input channel accepts pulse streams up to 10 kHz, enabling direct connection to optical encoders or proximity sensors mounted on fast-rotating shafts. An auxiliary tachometer section provides four-digit speed readings for basic rpm monitoring.

For installations that run at slower cycle rates, a separate input handles frequencies up to 25 Hz, ensuring dependable counts from mechanical contacts. All electronics draw power from an internal lithium battery, eliminating the need for an external power supply and preserving data during transportation or power outages. Timing resolution remains stable with a base accuracy of ±0.01% and ±1 count, making the unit suitable for batch-length verification. The assembly weighs only 5.5 oz and fits into a 2.63 × 1.31 in cutout with a depth of just 0.70 in. Its die-cast housing protects the internal components against vibration while supporting secure panel installation.
