GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PAX® Lite Counter, Model PAXLC, is a versatile totalizing counter that
can be adapted to a wide variety of counting, measuring, and positioning
readout applications.
The unit features a programmable scale factor, front panel and remote reset,
store, inhibit, and a count rate of 25 KHz, while offering an economical solution
to any totalizing need.
The PAXLC accepts digital inputs from a variety of sources including switch
contacts, NPN-OC and TTL outputs, as well as most standard Red Lion sensors.
The input can be scaled to display any desired unit of measure by simply using
the programmable scale factor. The meter can accept bi-directional and unidirectional signals.
The meter is programmed through the front panel buttons and the use of DIP
switches. The Down Arrow Key will also function as a front panel display reset.
Once the front panel programming is complete, the buttons can be disabled by
a DIP switch setting.
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.
DIMENSIONS In inches (mm)
Note: Recommended minimum clearance (behind the panel) for mounting clip installation is
2.1" (53.4) H x 5" (127) W.

1.0 INSTALLING THE METER
Installation
The PAX Lite meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements when properly installed.
The unit is intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel. Prepare the panel
cutout to the dimensions shown. Remove the panel latch from the unit. Slide the
panel gasket over the rear of the unit to the back of the bezel. The unit should
be installed fully assembled. Insert the unit into
the panel cutout.
While holding the unit in place, push
the panel latch over the rear of the unit
so that the tabs of the panel latch
engage in the slots on the case. The
panel latch should
be engaged in
the farthest
forward slot
possible. To
achieve a
proper seal,
tighten the
latch screws
evenly until the unit is snug in the panel (Torque to approximately 7 in-lbs [79Ncm]). Do not over-tighten the screws.
Installation Environment
The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the maximum
operating temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the unit near
devices that generate excessive heat should be avoided.
The bezel should be cleaned only with a soft cloth and neutral soap product.
Do NOT use solvents. Continuous exposure to direct sunlight may accelerate the
aging process of the bezel.
Do not use tools of any kind (screwdrivers, pens, pencils, etc.) to operate the
keypad of the unit.
