# ANSI/IEEE Counter relay with manual reset form Canonical URL: https://eloragrid.ai/symbols/ansi-counter-relay-with-manual-reset Publisher: Elora Grid Updated: 2026-10-28 Lookup label: COUNT MAN Drawing use: Schematic Reference families: IEEE / ANSI, Manufacturer ## Symbol convention Convention: IEEE / ANSI Form: Counter Manual Reset Autodesk IEEE Symbol Preview: Counter Relays, block HCR1CNM. Matching functional counterpart linked separately. Independently drawn educational geometry; not a certified IEEE glyph or database identifier. Related representation: [Counter relay with manual reset](https://eloragrid.ai/symbols/counter-relay-with-manual-reset) IEEE-library form of counter relay with manual reset: a manually reset counter relay records qualifying events and retains a count until the documented reset action. ## In plain English ### What does ANSI/IEEE Counter relay with manual reset form mean? This reference locates counter relay with manual reset in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented counter relays family. A manually reset counter relay records qualifying events and retains a count until the documented reset action. Event input, count condition and reset control should be identifiable on the drawing. The public library uses HCR1CNM for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number. ### A simple example Trace the measured quantity or initiating control signal separately from the output contacts. The device tag links the sensing or operating element to the controlled circuit; settings, reset behaviour and the actual terminal arrangement belong in the selected equipment documentation. ### What the drawings help you do Count events at the configured input rather than assuming every power cycle is an event. A counter accumulates events; a timer measures duration. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted. ### This particular reference IEEE-library form of counter relay with manual reset: a manually reset counter relay records qualifying events and retains a count until the documented reset action. A counter accumulates events; a timer measures duration. ### Terms - Normally open / normally closed: The contact state in the normal condition defined for the drawing. - Coil: A wound conductor that can produce a magnetic field when energised. - Terminal: An identified point where a conductor connects.

Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation. ## Information to show or reference - Label count input - Show manual reset - Reference preset and output function ## Important distinction A counter accumulates events; a timer measures duration. ## Facts - Convention evidence: Autodesk IEEE Symbol Preview: Counter Relays; published form: Counter Manual Reset. - Public vendor block: HCR1CNM. Vendor library token, not an IEEE symbol number. - Drawing role: Relay operation - 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. - Artwork scope: Original educational geometry. Exact standard graphics, product ratings and terminal pinouts are not certified. ## Public references - [Autodesk IEEE Symbol Preview: Counter Relays](https://help.autodesk.com/cloudhelp/2021/ENU/AutoCAD-Electrical/files/GUID-6A79079B-1B7A-45B5-9B28-CA7893CFF46F.htm) — Autodesk. Public IEEE-oriented Counter Relays table explicitly lists HCR1CNM as Counter Manual Reset.
