DIGITEN LCD Digital 0-99999 Counter 5 Digit Plus UP Gauge + Proximity Switch Sensor with Magnetic

First, this device works as advertised. There are connection instuctions in English (simple). Battery replacement is easy although lasts a very long time. The sensor is more sensitive than they say, maybe 1/2 - 3/4 inch and that is with their little button magnet. The stronger the magnet the greater the distance. A great deal since the hall sensor or the counter is worth the price alone. The provided sensor doesn't have to be used. Any switch, of any sort, will work. It is also very nice that they include that small bracket that holds the sensor and the sensor has a long threaded neck, with two nuts, that allow adjust the distance from the magnet after installation. They don't mention but to reset the counter, you can used an attached switch or just press the pause button a couple of times. See the attached picture for my application where I count the revolutions of the rear tire of my lawn tractor (I just snapped the button magnet on the tire rim (two magnets would give two counts per revolution). It bounces around quite a bit but that doesn't phase the sensor. They provide a bracket for mounting the counter or you can use a another magnet. Just remember that this is not a high speed counter, maybe 10-20 counts per second or 600-1200 rpm and depends to some extent on the strength of magnet and sensing distance. In addition, it only counts up since the sensor can't tell whether the magnet is coming or going.

Very slick little counter. I bought it for my wife's antique sock knitting machine and it's been flawless. The sensing magnet sticks on the carriage and I used velcro to mount the counter to the machine. Easy peasy.

Pleasantly surprised with this self contained counter! Just install the magnet and turn the unit on and start counting! Can't speak to durability or battery use yet, but its simple compact and works!

When I got this counter out of the box, I was pleased with it. It was easy to install for my application and it worked well. Three months later it stopped counting. The display shows that the signal from the magnetic sensor is coming all right, but the number of counts does not change - it shows 0000. I turned the counter off and left it for a day. Next day I tried it again and to my great surprise it began to work again. I would rate it with five stars, but decrease it to four because of this unexplainable hiccup. I am an electronics engineer with over 50 years of experience and that is why I handle any electronic device with the utmost care. Anyway, I am glad that it works again and I can keep it

Added this counter to my Lee Pro 4000 progressive press to count finished rounds as they fall in to the bin. Had it all setup and installed on the press in less than 10 minutes. Instead of using the supplied magnet I used a cabinet door magnet so I could screw it to a piece of 2x4 to get the right height. Pros: Cheap - good bang for the buck So easy to setup It works perfectly Even comes with an AA battery installed Easy to use power on/off and reset buttons Cons: Wires are extremely small gauge and would not stand up to movement where they screw to the counter connectors. I have mine secured with an electrical tie so they never move. Problem solved. This works perfectly. Would recommend this for sure. Really I cant see any real reason that this isn't just an awesome answer to my How do I get a cheap and reliable finished bullet counting question.

works great

Used this to count turns for winding solenoid coils in a simple jig. Sensor responds at quite a large distance (> 1cm) with the supplied rare earth magnet.

I'm using this to count the number of rotations of a 72" circumference wheel. The wheel is spun by hand and the counter was perfectly accurate at any reasonable speed of rotation that I could manage by hand. The intended mounting method that came with it was not terribly useful, but might work for some applications. The included AA battery seemed like it might be cheap and I replaced it with a good one with a long expected life. All in all, for the money, I think this is a great value.

Good

brought to fit on a sentro knitting machine as counter had started to not tick over on row count ,easy to fit and set up . I used Velcro to attach so could use between two different machines, works and keeps count perfectly.
