Digital input panel meter delivers dual counter and dual rate

The PAX2D Digital Panel Meter is a single package featuring a dual counter and dual rate meter, with a third counter and rate display that allows the user to perform math functions. With universal features and versatile programming capabilities, this single meter can suit virtually any digital pulse application.

Line one consists of a 18mm high, 6-digit LCD display that can be programmed to show counters A, B, or C; rate A, B, or C; or the high or low values. The main display also offers three programmable, easy-to-read colours: red, orange and green. The colour change can be linked to programmable set points. This feature provides the operator with a visual display of changing conditions—even when they are not close enough to read the meter value.

A second display line is a 9mm high, 9-digit, green LCD that can also be programmed for any of the Line One parameters. The 9-digit display accommodates totalizing applications that exceed normal 6-digit displays. The meter also offers a programmable custom unit indicator for both displays.

In addition to the dual displays, the PAX2D offers features designed for maximum flexibility, allowing users to stock a single meter for numerous applications. The meter accepts inputs from proximity sensors, magnetic sensors, photo-electric sensors, encoders and simple switches. A universal power supply accommodates both AC and DC inputs.

Optional plug-in cards allow users to configure the meter for present applications, while allowing easy upgrades to accommodate future needs.
