WARNING: Disconnect all power to the unit before
installing Plug-in cards.
Adding Option Cards
The PAX and MPAX series meters can be fitted with up to three optional plug-
in cards. The details for each plug-in 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 Real-Time Clock Card (PAXRTC). The plug-in 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 RLCPro, a Windows
must be used.

PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
®
The SFPAX is a Windows
based program that allows configuration of the
PAX meter from a PC. Using the SFPAX makes it easier to program the PAX
meter and allows saving the PAX program in a PC file for future use. On-line
help is available within the software. A PAX serial plug-in card is required to
program the meter using the software.
