That website is dated 1995 that company has been out of the buissness for over 10 years so the information is no longer available however i googled "CD4059A help" and found this in another forum but i still need to make sense of it.
At power up you have to follow next procedure to setup a certain counting mode and divider into the 4059.
1) With no power to the circuit set the 16 jam inputs J1 to J16 at a correct level depending on your divider.
1a) Let say you have a divider of 5070 and want to use the divide by 4 mode.
1b) Calculate the divider to set into the counter: 5070 / 4 = 1267 remainder 2
1c) Jumper setting:
J1: remainder "1" = 0 remainder = 2
J2: remainder "2" = 1
J3: divider "1" * 10E3 = 1 thousands of divider = 1
J4: divider "2" * 10E3 = 0
J5: divider "1" * 10E0 = 1 units of divider = 7
J6: divider "2" * 10E0 = 1
J7: divider "4" * 10E0 = 1
J8: divider "8" * 10E0 = 1
J9: divider "1" * 10E1 = 0 tens of divider = 6
J10: divider "2" * 10E1 = 1
J11: divider "4" * 10E1 = 1
J12: divider "8" * 10E1 = 0
J13: divider "1" * 10E2 = 0 hundreds of divider = 2
J14: divider "2" * 10E2 = 1
J15: divider "4" * 10E2 = 0
J16: divider "8" * 10E2 = 0
2) Set all inputs Ka, Kb and Kc to a low level. Enable the "Master Preset Mode"
3) Apply power to the circuit
4) Apply at least three clock pulses on CP input
5) Set inputs Ka, Kb and Kc at a correct level according to the used "divide by" mode. For divide by 4 mode Ka low, Kb and Kc high
That sequence is implemented by the gates in the "Logic.jpg" file.
Set the 16 jumpers with no power to the circuit, then apply power.
Wire i is low for at least 3 clock pulses from wire g. After that it has a high level setting the counter in de divide by 4 mode.
IC4 makes 50Hz pulses from 24Vac after transformer. That is my counting frequency.
During normal operation I need to count only when there is 24Vdc across D3 but since I need at least 3 pulses to setup the divider I made an OR gate with D4 and D5. Set up via D5, normal operation via D4.
