A103-006
The A103-006 timer and controller from Danaher is a versatile addition to the Timers and Controllers series, designed for precise event monitoring in industrial environments. This compact device features a Supertwist LCD Display Type with 7 digits and a Digit Height of 12 mm for clear visibility. The controller is powered by a Single or dual 3 V lithium battery offering a Typical Battery Life of up to 10 years, eliminating the need for external power sources. With a minimal Panel Cutout of 33 mm x 68 mm and a lightweight design of Weight: 64 grams, it integrates seamlessly into existing control panels.
Technical capabilities of the A103-006 include robust signal handling and flexible input configurations. The unit accepts Input Signal Type: NPN or contact closure, operating within Logic Level High thresholds above 2.0 V DC (up to 28 V DC) and Logic Level Low below 1.0 V DC. Connections are secured via durable Screw terminals, while Backlighting is provided in green, requiring 10 628 V DC to ensure readability in low-light conditions. The controller remains operational across an Operating Temperature range of 0 B0C to +55 B0C, thanks to its reliable internal electronics. Depth considerations are addressed by a Depth Behind Panel of 39 mm in the standard version or 89 mm when additional options are fitted.
Operational features of the A103-006 emphasize longevity, ease of installation, and maintenance-free performance. Its Bezel Size of 36 mm x 72 mm provides a low-profile footprint without sacrificing display area. The Panel Cutout and lightweight housing (64 grams) streamline retrofitting into tight enclosures. A sealed design ensures stability in vibrating or dusty environments, while the long-life lithium battery system achieves up to 5 years in single-battery mode and up to 10 years with dual batteries. Technicians will appreciate the clear green backlight and straightforward screw terminal connections, reducing setup time and minimizing wiring errors.
Integration and application versatility make the A103-006 ideal for machine cycle counting, event timing, rate indication, and automated process control. The device’s Screw terminals allow fast connection to PLCs, sensors, and existing fieldbus modules. Compatible with standard NPN sensors and dry contacts, it can be incorporated into conveyor systems, packaging machinery, or assembly lines without modification. As part of Danaher’s industrial automation offering, the A103-006 delivers reliable performance and simplified integration across a range of manufacturing applications.
