Synchronous 4-Bit Up/Down Counters preset
The 74HC192/3 have asynchronous load. As soon as** you assert the /LOAD input, the outputs will change to reflect the 4-bit input you have applied to the PRESET inputs, and the outputs stay there as long as /LOAD is low regardless of clock or anything else (except RESET which overrides the /LOAD). 

When you remove the /LOAD (and RESET is not active) then the counter may count up or down from the preset number, if it receives a rising clock edge on one of the clock inputs.
