Installation
The PAX meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements when properly installed. The
unit is intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel. Prepare the panel cutout
to the dimensions shown. Remove the panel latch from the unit. Slide the panel
gasket over the rear of the unit to the back of the bezel. The unit should be
installed fully assembled. Insert the unit into the panel cutout.
While holding the unit in place, push the panel latch over the rear of the unit
so that the tabs of the panel latch engage in the slots on the case. The panel
latch should be engaged in the farthest forward slot possible. To achieve a
proper seal, tighten the latch screws evenly until the unit is snug in the panel
(Torque to approximately 7 in-lbs [79N-cm]). Do not over-tighten the screws.
Installation Environment
The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the operating
temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the unit near devices
that generate excessive heat should be avoided.
The bezel should only be cleaned with a soft cloth and neutral soap
product. Do NOT use solvents. Continuous exposure to direct sunlight may
accelerate the aging process of the bezel.
Do not use tools of any kind (screwdrivers, pens, pencils, etc.) to operate
the keypad of the unit.

Crimson software is a Windows

based program that allows configuration of
the PAX meter from a PC. Crimson offers standard drop-down menu commands,
that make it easy to program the meter. The meter’s program can then be saved
in a PC file for future use. A PAX serial plug-in card or PAX USB programming
