GENERALDESCRIPTION
PAX Lite Current and Volt Meters are premium quality instruments
designed for tough industrial applications. With multi-range capability,
built-in provision for scaling, and DIP switch selectable decimal points,
these meters offer the ultimate in application flexibility. Four models
cover your voltage and current indicator needs. The meter can provide
direct readout from pressure, speed or flow transducers, or any other
variable that can be translated to voltage or current. The built-in scaling
allows the display to be scaled to the desired engineering unit.
The 3 ½ -digit bi-polar display (minus sign displayed when current or
voltage 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
SAFETYSUMMARY
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.
DEFINITIONOFTERMS

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 10 amp fuse is recommended
that will allow for start-up over current situations, while still protecting
the instrument.

ACCESSORIES
UNITS LABEL KIT (PAXLBK)
Each meter has a units indicator with backlighting that can be
customized using the Units Label Kit. The backlight is controlled by a DIP
switch.
EXTERNAL CURRENT SHUNTS (APSCM)
To measure DC current signals greater than 2 ADC, a shunt must be
used. The APSCM010 current shunt converts a maximum 10 ADC signal
into 100.0 mV. The APSCM100 current shunt converts a maximum 100
ADC signal into 100.0 mV. The continuous current through the shunt is
limited to 115% of the rating.
