GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The premium features of the PAX Lite Series can now be applied to
measurement of process variables. With its high sensitivity and programmability,
the P AX Lite Current Loop Meter can be set up for a wide variety of applications.
In most plants the P AXLCL can be used for 90 to 95% of current loop meter needs
for readout of pressure, flow, temperature, level and other variables. The meter has
been specifically designed for harsh industrial environments. With NEMA 4X/
IP65 sealed bezel and extensive testing of noise effects to CE requirements, the
meter provides a tough yet reliable application solution. This allows the PAXLCL
to be used in dirty, hostile environments and in wash-down areas. The 3 1/2-digit
bi-polar display (minus sign displayed when current or voltage is negative)
features 0.56" (14.2 mm) high, 7-segment LEDs for easy reading.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the
literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
CAUTION: Read complete
instructions prior to installation
and operation of the unit.
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock.
DIMENSIONS In inches (mm)
Note: Recommended minimum clearance (behind the panel) for mounting clip installation is
2.1" (53.4) H x 5.0" (127) W.

GENERAL METER SPECIFICATIONS
1. DISPLAY: 3 1/2-digit, 0.56" (14.2 mm) high, 7-segment red LED, (-) minus
sign displayed when current or voltage is negative. Decimal points inserted
before 1st, 2nd, or 3rd least significant digits by DIP switch selection.
2. OVER-RANGE INDICATION: Indicated by blanking 3 least significant
digits.
