Abstract
The invention relates to a counter for coupling to a measuring mechanism of a fluid meter, wherein an output of measuring mechanism gear is in operative engagement with a gear on the side of the counter, the gear on the counter being designed to adapt to the rotational direction of the measuring mechanism by means of a change wheel. The invention also relates to a counter, which can be connected to a modular base plate system via a mechanical interface, wherein the base plates of this system can be designed having differently arranged detent or engagement elements.

Counter for coupling to a measuring mechanism of a fluid meter, comprising a gear unit, the output wheel of which is driving at least one number roll, which is mounted on an axle, and the input wheel is designed to be brought in operative engagement with an output of a measuring mechanism gear, wherein a gear wheel of the gear unit is a change wheel which is designed to be repositioned for reversing the direction of rotation wherein the change wheel comprises teeth, which mesh with a gear wheel, wherein the change wheel can be mounted on the change axle in two mounting positions, wherein the mounting positions are selected in such a way, that in a first mounting position the gear wheel is driven in a first direction of rotation, and in the second mounting position the gear wheel is driven in the opposite direction.
Counter for coupling to a measuring mechanism of a fluid or electricity meter, comprising a gear unit, the output wheel of which drives at least one number roll, which is mounted on a number roll axle, and the input wheel of which is designed to be brought into operative engagement with an output of a measuring mechanism gear, wherein the counter has a counter housing, to which a modular base plate system with different base plates is assigned for attachment to the measuring mechanism, which base plates can be connected to the housing of the counter via a mechanical interface, wherein the mechanical interface comprises engagement elements on the side of the counter, the position pattern of which is selected in such a way that it can be brought into operative engagement with detent elements of the base plate system arranged on the side of the base plate in different position patterns.
