The PAX digital input panel meters have many special features that make them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. PAX comes in three models: PAXC Counter, PAXR Tachometer, PAXI with both Counter and Tachometer functions.
This manual covers the PAXI 1/8 DIN digital display panel, describing its three model variants (counter, rate meter, and combined counter/rate) and the optional insert cards for set‑point alarms, communications and analog output. It includes safety instructions, environmental ratings and EMC installation guidance for reliable operation in harsh industrial settings.
Detailed sections explain power options, input signal handling, DIP switch configuration, wiring diagrams, and step‑by‑step procedures for installing the panel and any selected insert cards. The document also provides programming software information and troubleshooting tips.
