About this manual

The PAX series offers three variants – the PAXC counter, PAXR rate meter and PAXI counter/rate meter – each with a 0.56" LED display that can be red sunlight‑readable or green. The meters accept digital inputs from switches, TTL, CMOS, magnetic pickups and standard RLC sensors, supporting frequencies up to 34 kHz.

Optional plug‑in cards provide setpoint relays, communication interfaces (RS‑232, RS‑485, Modbus, DeviceNet, Profibus‑DP) and analog output. Configuration can be performed with the Windows‑based SFPAX software, and the unit is built for harsh industrial environments with a NEMA 4X/IP65 enclosure.
