GENERAL DESCRIPTION
®
The PAX
Lite Process Time Meter, Model PAXLPT, displays a value
representing the time between a beginning and end point of a process, such as a
conveyor oven.
The PAXLPT's display will update inversely in relation to the input signal
frequency. As input frequency increases (representing speed), the PAXLPT
time display will decrease indicating a reduction in the duration of process
time. For example, the bake time through an oven will decrease the faster the
conveyor runs.
The display can be programmed for two operating modes. Operating in the 6
digit mode, the PAXLPT can readout in any whole value, such as seconds,
minutes, or hours. This mode also provides capability for decimal points. The 5
digit mode functions as a chronometer, which has a maximum display value of
999-59. This formats the display to allow the meter to readout in hours and
minutes, minutes and seconds, etc.
The PAX Lite Process Time Indicator also has a feature called "moving
window average". This allows one time disturbances, or irregularly spaced
items to be averaged over eight inputs, thus keeping display fluctuations to a
minimum while still updating the display on every pulse. This feature can be
enabled or disabled by a rear DIP switch.
The PAXLPT can accept many different types of sensors including magnetic
pickups, logic sensors, and NPN open collector sensors, as well as switch
contact closure sensors.
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.

    The pulses from a sensor are received by the DR = 150 minutes PAXLPT, and then scaled to produce just such a readout. The following formula PPS = 450 RPM x 60 PPR will help provide the scaling values to achieve the desired readout.
