GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PAXLIT 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.
