This housing was inspired by Jeeping Johnny's CSM V2 counter housing but drawn from scratch to accommodate the edges and ledges of my Sentro 48 knitting machine. The counter device drops into the window and has just enough room for the sensor probe to mount under/behind it. With careful adjusting, I was able to get the long cord to tuck inside the shell as well. I glued a spare bar magnet to the fin between pins 9 & 10 but please experiment with magnets, glue height on the fins, and how far the probe sticks out of the housing. Keep in mind the higher the magnet is the better for the counter but too high and it will interfere with the yarn mast. The housing could be installed anywhere along the machine edge but my intent was to have it resting above the mechanical counter. I also added a small cable clip in mine to provide strain relief if the probe's wire were to get loose and snag.
The counter style is very popular can may be found on Amazon 1 or Amazon 2 or newegg or AliExpress
I do not own any other large stitch machine however looking at photos online I do not believe this would work with any other machine.
