Dual Line Strain Gage Meter
Red Lion PAX®2 Series
PAX2S - Dual Line Strain Gage MeteruMeter
With 9 dual line display and strain gage input,
the PAX2S delivers an ideal solution for
applications that require two parameters
to be visualized at the same time.
The input, gross, tare, total, min, max or setpoints can be displayed on the
0.7" high 6-digit Line 1 of the LCD display. The color change can be tied to the
setpoints; providing the operator with a visual display of changing conditions
in the application. Line 2 of the display is a 0.35" high 9-digit, green LCD that
can be programmed for any of the above parameters as well.
The strain gage input easily connects to load cell, strain gage or pressure
sensors. The PAX2S also features a universal power input. Whether it’s 40
to 250 VAC or 21.6 to 250 VDC, polarity does not matter.
