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 PAX Lite Current Loop Meter can be set up for a wide variety of applications.
In most plants the PAXLCL 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.

CL - Current Loop Meter

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

3. POWER:

AC Power: 85 to 250 VAC, 50/60 HZ, 6 VA
Isolation: 2300 Vrms for 1 min. between input and supply (300 V working

voltage).

4. INPUT SENSITIVITY: (Numerical Readout Change/mA)
260 units/mA @ 4 to 20 mA input
105 units/mA @ 10 to 50 mA input

(max. allowable input current, 170 mA)

5. COMPLIANCE: Voltage drop across input at max. signal current, less than
600 mV for both 4 to 20 and 10 to 50 mA ranges.

providing approx. 8.125 numerical units/mA/step sensitivity for 4 to 20
mA input and 3.25 units/mA/step for 10 to 50 mA input.

OFFSET: 16 coarse steps (binary progression with 4 DIP switches) with ±

switch to add or subtract offset. Each step adds or subtracts approximately
175 from the numerical display for a total offset range of ±2700.
