From its dual line display to its universal functionality, the PAX2A is packed full of features that set it apart from any other panel meter. The input, total, min., max. or setpoints can be displayed on the 0.7" high 6-digit main LCD display. The main display also offers three programmable, easy-to-read colors: red, orange and green. The color change can be tied to the setpoints, providing the operator with a visual display of changing conditions in the application. And that’s not all! A second display line is a 0.35" high 9-digit, green LCD that can be programmed for any of the above parameters as well. The 9-digit display accommodates totalizing applications that easily exceed the normal 6-digit displays. In addition to the dual displays, the meter also offers a 3-digit programmable custom unit indicator. Beyond the display, the PAX2A provides the maximum in application flexibility, allowing users to stock just one meter for numerous applications. Featuring universal input, the same meter accepts DC current, DC voltage, process signal, and thermocouple and RTD temperature sensor inputs. Plus, the PAX2A features a universal power input. Whether it’s 50 to 250 VAC or 21.6 to 250 VDC, just hook it up. With its dual display and versatile functionality, the PAX2A delivers an ideal solution for applications that require two parameters to be visualized at the same time. For instance, the PAX2A can read a flow rate through a pipeline while simultaneously totalizing the gallons, or indicate the temperature of an oven while also displaying the setpoint value. Optional plug-in cards allow the opportunity to configure the meter for present applications, while providing easy upgrades for future needs. The meter provides a MAX & MIN reading memory with programmable capture time. The capture time is used to prevent detection of false max or min readings which may occur during start-up or unusual process events. The signal totalizer (integrator) can be used to compute a time-input product. This can be used to provide a readout of totalized flow or calculate service intervals of motors, pumps, ect. The meter has up to four setpoint outputs, implemented on plug-in option cards. The plug-in cards provide dual FORM-C relays, quad FORM-A, or either quad sinking or quad sourcing open collector logic outputs. The setpoint alarms can be configured to suit a variety of control and alarm requirements. Communication and bus capabilities are also available as option cards. These include RS232, RS485, DeviceNeet, and Profibus-DP. The PAX2A can be programmed to utilize ModBus protocol. With ModBus, the user has access to most configuration parameters. Readout values and setpoint alarm values can be controlled through the bus. Additionally, the meter has a feature that allows a remote computer to directly control the outputs of the meter. The PAX2A includes a built-in USB programming port. With a Windows based program, made available by Red Lion Controls, configuration data can be downloaded to the PAX2A without the need of any additional option cards. A linear DC output signal is available as an optional plug-in card. The card provides either 20mA or 10V signals. The output can be scaled independent of the input range and can track either the input, totalizer, max or min readings. The meter has been specifically designed for harsh industrial environments. With NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed bezel and extensive testing of noise effects and CE requirements, the meter provides a tough reliable application solution.
