GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model PAXLSG expands the PAX Lite capabilities into the indication of
pressure, load, force, and other parameters measured with strain gages. The unit
features broad range scaling and can be used with a wide variety of strain gage
resistances and bridge configurations. A built-in excitation source is jumper
selectable for 5 or 10 VDC @ 120 mA maximum, and can power up to four full
350 Ω bridges in load averaging applications. Although designed primarily for
strain-gage indication, the PAXLSG is also ideal for single-ended or differential
millivolt input applications, with full-scale input ranges from 0 to 10 mV thru 0
to 2 VDC. Adjustable scaling and offset allow direct readout in nearly any
engineering unit.
The meter has a NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed bezel and extensive testing of noise
effects to CE requirements, allowing the meter to provide a tough yet reliable
application solution.
