MODEL PAXI-1/8 DIN COUNTER/RATE PANEL METER
UL Recognized Component,
File # E179259
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PAXI (PAX Counter/Rate Panel Meter) offers many features and
performance capabilities to suit a wide range of industrial applications. The
Plug-in options cards allow the opportunity to configure the meter for present
applications, while providing easy upgrades for future needs.
The PAXI meter accepts digital inputs from a variety of sources including
switch contacts, outputs from CMOS or TTL circuits, magnetic pickups 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 and function configurations programmed.
Each input signal can be independently scaled to various process values.
The meter provides six different display indications. These include Counter
A, Counter B, Counter C (or slave display), Rate, Rate Maximum (High) and
Rate Minimum (Low). Counter A and/or Counter B indicate the corresponding
input count value. Counter C indicates the sum or difference between Counter
A and Counter B values or can be programmed to be a Serial Slave Display. The
Rate display can be programmed to show the speed of Counter A or Counter B.
The Maximum and Minimum displays can indicate the peaks and valleys of the
speed with programmable capture times to prevent false detection.
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, 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 (5A), quad FORM-A
relays (3A) or either quad sinking or quad sourcing open collector logic outputs.
The outputs can be assigned to any of the four displays. The outputs can also be
independently configured to suit variety of control and alarm requirements.

A linear DC output signal is available as a Plug-in card. The card provides
either 20 mA or 10 V signals. The analog output can be assigned to any of the
six displays and is scalable.
Plug-in cards can also provide serial communications. These include RS232,
RS485 and MODBUS. Display values, setpoint alarm values and setpoint states
can be controlled through the serial loop. With the communications card
installed, it is possible to configure the meter using a Windows
The meter configuration data can be saved to a file for later recall.
Once the meter has been initially configured, the parameter list may be
locked out from further modification entirely or the 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" (127) W.

OPTIONAL PLUG-IN CARDS AND ACCESSORIES The PAX series meters can be fitted with up to three optional plug-in cards. However, only one card from each function type can be installed at a time. The function types include Setpoint Alarms (PAXCDS), Communications MODBUS PLUG-IN CARD (PAXCDC) (PAXCDC), and Analog Output (PAXCDL). -

Connect the shield to common of the meter and leave the other end of the back of the meter. All conductors should conform to the meter’s voltage and shield unconnected and insulated from earth ground. - Page 7 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.
