Overview
The Redington 5300-0101 is a Model 53 digital counter totalizer engineered for industrial automation and process monitoring applications. Built in a black panel-mount case with an internal lithium battery, this counter provides reliable event counting and accumulation with both manual and remote reset options. The switch input design makes it ideal for applications requiring counting of discrete events from sensors or relay outputs.
