Abstract

A battery powered electronic counter with an electronic accumulator (12), a switch (22) for resetting the accumulator (12) and disconnecting the battery (20), and an accumulator indexing circuit with a first pair of switch input terminals (28) having separate high and low impedance connections to the battery (2) for minimizing battery drain and reducing input signal noise sensitivity, a second pair of AC/DC input terminals (30) for receiving an input pulse of up to 250 volts and a transistor circuit with a transistor (74) and a resistor (76) for limiting the current through an optical isolator (68) for the AC/DC terminals (30).
