DescriptionThe PAXS (PAX Strain Gage Input Meter) offers many features and performance capabilities to suit a wide range of industrial applications. The 4½ digit meter employs advanced technology for stable, drift free readout, while incorporating features that provide flexibility now and in the future with Plug-in option cards. The plug-in card options allow the opportunity to configure the meter for present applications, while providing easy upgrades for future needs.The meter employs a bright 0. 56' LED display. The unit is available with a red sunlight readable or a standard green LED. The intensity of display can be adjusted from dark room applications up to sunlight readable, making it ideal for viewing in bright light applications.The Strain Gage meter has two bipolar mV input ranges: ± 24 mV DC or ± 240 mV DC. The internal bridge excitation is selectable for 5 VDC or 10 VDC. The excitation output is based on a reference, ensuring accurate and drift-free readouts. A 16 point scaling feature compensates for square-law devices and other non-linear process characteristics.The meter provides a Max and Min reading memory with programmable capture time. The capture time is used to prevent detection of false max and min readings which may occur during burst testing or unusual process events.The signal totalizer (integrator) can be used to compute a time-input product. This can be used to provide a readout of totalized flow, calculate service intervals of motors and pumps, etc. The totalizer can also accumulate batch weighing operations (batch weight).The meter has four setpoint outputs, implemented on Plug-in cards. The Plug-in cards provide dual FORM-C relays (5 A), quad FORM-A relays (3 A) or either sinking or sourcing quad open collector logic outputs. The setpoint alarms can be configured in modes to suit a variety of control and alarm requirements.Communication and Bus Capabilities are also available as option cards. These include RS232, RS485, Modbus, DeviceNe
