An electrically reset counter relay has a separate reset command or documented electronic reset mechanism.

## What it represents

An electrically reset counter relay has a separate reset command or documented electronic reset mechanism. Schematics need the count and reset paths to remain distinct.

## How to read it

- Establish reset priority where count and reset signals can occur together.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.

## Information to show or reference

- Identify count terminal
- Identify reset terminal
- Reference output and reset sequence

## Important distinction

Electrical reset changes the counter state; it is not the same as disconnecting the measured circuit.

## Facts

- Drawing role: Relay operation
- Representation scope: Functional concept; not an official standard graphic or a product footprint
- Public vendor block reference: HCR1CNE, VCR1CNE (Autodesk identifiers; not IEC symbol numbers)
- Identifier status: The short label is a functional lookup label, not an assigned IEC or IEEE symbol number. Any separately listed Autodesk code is a verified vendor block name.
