The configuration data can be saved to a file for later recall. different models, PAXC Counter/Dual Counter, PAXR Rate Meter and the PAXI A linear DC output signal is available as an optional Plug-in card for the PAXI which offers both counting and rate in the same package. Refer to pages 4 - 5 for only. The card provides either 20 mA or 10 V signals. The output can be scaled the details on the specific models. The PAXC and PAXR offer only the Setpoint independent of the input range and can track any of the counter or rate displays. Option, while the PAXI is the fully featured version offering all the capabilities Once the meters have been initially configured, the parameter list may be as outlined in this bulletin as well as a slave display feature. The optional plug-in locked out from further modification in its entirety or only the setpoint values output cards allow the opportunity to configure the meter for present applications, can be made accessible. while providing easy upgrades for future needs. The meters have been specifically designed for harsh industrial environments. The meters employ a bright 0.56 LED display. The meters are available with With NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed bezel and extensive testing of noise effects to CE a red sunlight readable or standard green LED display.

Optional digital output plug-in cards provide the meter with up to four setpoint outputs. The cards are available as dual relay, quad relay, quad sinking transistor, quad sourcing transistor/SSR drive, or dual triac/dual SSR drive outputs. The setpoint alarms can be configured to suit a variety of control and alarm requirements. CAUTION: Risk of Danger. CAUTION: Risk of electric shock. Communication and Bus Capabilities are also available as option cards for Read complete instructions prior to the PAXI only.
