GENERAL DESCRIPTION

P AXLIT 5 Amp AC Current Meter provides the capability of measuring large AC currents. The internal current shunt in the PAXLIT can measure up to 5 Amps AC current directly. Using an external current transformer, AC currents of up to 1,999 Amps can be measured and displayed.

The PAXLIT can be scaled, using the scaling potentiometer, to display between 200 and 1999 when measuring full scale current. Using the DIP switch selectable decimal points, the display can be customized for direct readout for practically any application.

The 3½-digit bi-polar display (minus sign displayed when current is negative) features a 0.56" high, 7-segment LEDs for easy reading. The meter is also available with custom units label capability. Using the PAX label kit (PAXLBK30), the selected label is installed behind the panel, keeping it safe from washdown or other environmental conditions. A DIP switch is used to control the backlight for the units label.

The meters have a NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed bezel and extensive testing of noise effects to CE requirements, allowing the meter to provide a tough yet reliable application solution.

CAUTION: Read complete

instructions prior to installation

and operation of the unit.

DIMENSIONS In inches (mm)

CAUTION: Risk of electric shock.

Note: Recommended minimum clearance (behind the panel) for mounting clip installation is

2.1" (53.4) H x 5.0" (127) W.

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.

GENERAL METER SPECIFICATIONS

1. DISPLAY: 3 1/2-digit, 0.56" (14.2 mm) high, 7-segment red LED. Decimal

points inserted before 1st, 2nd, or 3rd least significant digits by DIP switch selection.

2. POWER: 115/230 VAC, switch selectable. Allowable power line variation

±10%, 50/60 Hz, 6 VA.

Isolation: 2300 Vrms for 1 min. between input and supply Working Voltage: 300 V max., CAT II

3. SIGNAL INPUT: Range: 0 to 5 Amps AC @ 45 to 400 Hz Resolution: 2.5 mA Working Voltage: 300 V max., CAT II

4. ACCURACY: ±(0.5% of reading + 5 digits).

5. OVER-RANGE INDICATION: is indicated by blanking 3 least significant digits.

6. MAX SHUNT CURRENT: 50 Amps for 1 sec.; 8 Amps continuous.

Caution: In circuits where fault currents can exceed the maximum shunt

current, a fast-blow fuse should be installed in series with the input signal. Otherwise, a slow blow 8 Amp fuse is recommended that will allow for start-up over current situations, while still protecting the instrument.
