red lion PAXR User Manual

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PAXR (PAX Rate Panel Meter) offers many features and performance
capabilities to suit a wide range of industrial applications. The optional Plug-in
Setpoint Alarm Cards allow the opportunity to configure the meter for alarms if
that is a requirement.
The PAXR meter accepts digital inputs from a variety of sources including
outputs from CMOS or TTL circuits and all standard RLC sensors. The
maximum input signal is 34 KHz.
The meter provides three different display indications. These include a Rate
Display, Max Display, and Min Display. Annunciators indicate which display is
being shown.
The front panel keys and three user inputs are programmable to perform
various meter functions. One of the functions includes exchanging parameter
lists, allowing double the number of programmable setpoint.
The meter can have up to four setpoint outputs, determined by the Plug-in
cards. The Plug-in cards provide dual FORM-C relays (5 A), quad FORM-A
relays (3 A) or either quad sinking or quad sourcing open collector logic
outputs. The outputs are assigned to the rate display value. The outputs can also
be independently configured to suit a variety of control and alarm requirements.
Once the meter has been initially configured, the parameter list may be
locked out from further modification entirely, or only the setpoint can be made
accessible. This lockout is possible through a security code or user input.
The meter has been specifically designed for harsh industrial environments.
With a NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed bezel and extensive testing to meet CE
requirements, the meter provides a tough yet reliable application solution.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in this
literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use this meter to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators
not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or
equipment in the event of a fault to the unit.
