MODEL PAXC-1/8 DIN COUNTER PANEL METER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PAXC (PAX Counter 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 PAXC meter accepts digital inputs from a variety of sources including
switch contacts, outputs from CMOS or TTL circuits and all standard RLC
sensors. The meter can accept directional, uni-directional or Quadrature signals
simultaneously. The maximum input signal varies up to 34 KHz depending on
the count mode function configurations programmed. Each input signal can be
independently scaled to various process values.
The meter provides three different display indications. These include Counter
A, Counter B, and Counter C. Counter A and Counter B indicate the
corresponding input count value. Counter C indicates the sum or difference
between Counter A and Counter B values. Annunciators indicate which display
is being shown.
The front panel keys and three user inputs are programmable to perform
various meter functions. One function includes exchanging parameter lists,
allowing double the number of programmable setpoint, scale factor and count
load values.
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 can be assigned to any of the three displays. 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 setpoint, scale factor and count
load values 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.
instructions prior to installation
and operation of the unit.
Note: Recommended minimum clearance (behind the panel) for
mounting clip installation is 2.1" (53.4) H x 5.5" (140) W.

    4.3 INPUT WIRING CAUTION: Sensor input common is NOT isolated from user input common. In order to preserve the safety of the meter application, the sensor input common must be suitably isolated from hazardous live earth referenced voltage; or input common must be at protective earth ground potential. If not, hazardous voltage may be present at the User Inputs and User Input Common terminals.
