Dual Line Display Meter
Red Lion PAX®2A
Dual Line Display MeterDual Line Display Process Meter
The Red Lion PAX2A provides the maximum in
application exibility, allowing users to stock
just one meter for numerous applications.
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. The 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.
