I looked into the CruzPro a couple years ago.. In looking at the wiring
diagram, I don't see how it can keep track of the chain 'up/down' if the
gypsy is released for free fall.. It appears that the counter can only
detect the direction of the gypsy from the power up/down buttons.

With all the 'bells and whistles' they have this thing doing, perhaps the
have something in the gypsy pickup/sensor that can deduce the direction of
rotation.
