IEEE-library form of non-resettable counter relay: a non-resettable counter records events without a normal user reset function.

## In plain English

### What does ANSI/IEEE Non-resettable counter relay form mean?

This reference locates non-resettable counter relay in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented counter relays family. A non-resettable counter records events without a normal user reset function. It is used where the total event history is part of the documented equipment indication. The public library uses HCR1CNN 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

Check the specified retention behaviour when the auxiliary supply is lost. A totalising counter is different from a preset counter intended to be reset each operating cycle. 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 non-resettable counter relay: a non-resettable counter records events without a normal user reset function. A totalising counter is different from a preset counter intended to be reset each operating cycle.

### 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.

## How to read it

- Check the specified retention behaviour when the auxiliary supply is lost.
- 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

- Define qualifying event
- State counter supply
- Reference retention and rollover

## Important distinction

A totalising counter is different from a preset counter intended to be reset each operating cycle.

## Facts

- Convention evidence: Autodesk IEEE Symbol Preview: Counter Relays; published form: Counter No Reset.
- Public vendor block: HCR1CNN. 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.
