OpTiOn Cards
WARNING: Disconnect all power to the unit before
installing option cards.
Adding Option Cards
The PAX and MPAX series meters can be fitted with up to three option cards.
The details for each option card can be reviewed in the specification section
below. Only one card from each function type can be installed at one time. The
function types include Setpoint Alarms (PAXCDS), Communications (PAXCDC),
and Analog Output (PAXCDL). The option cards can be installed initially or at a
later date.
COMMUNICATION CARDS (PAXCDC)
A variety of communication protocols are available for the PAX and MPAX
series. Only one of these cards can be installed at a time. When programming
the unit via Crimson, a Windows
®
based program, the RS232, RS485, or USB
Cards must be used.
