WARNING: Disconnect all power to the unit before
installing plug-in cards.
Adding Option Cards
The PAX2S meters can be fitted with up to three optional plug-in cards. The
details for each plug-in card can be reviewed in the specification section below.
Only one card from each function type can be installed at a time. The function
types include Setpoint Alarms (PAXCDS), Communications (PAXCDC), and
Analog Output (PAXCDL). The plug-in cards can be installed initially or at a
later date.
COMMUNICATION CARDS (PAXCDC)
A variety of communication protocols are available for the PAX2S meter.
Only one PAXCDC card can be installed at a time. Note: For Modbus
communications use RS485 Communications Output Card and configure
communication (tYPE) parameter for Modbus.

PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
Crimson ® software is a Windows ® based program that allows configuration
of the PAX ® meter from a PC. Crimson offers standard drop-down menu
commands, that make it easy to program the meter. The meter’s program can
then be saved in a PC file for future use. Crimson can be downloaded at www.

SETPOINT CARDS (PAXCDS)
The PAX2S meter has 4 available setpoint alarm output plug-in cards. Only
one PAXCDS card can be installed at a time. (Logic state of the outputs can be
reversed in the programming.) These plug-in cards include:

6 msec (typical) for relay card
LINEAR DC OUTPUT (PAXCDL)
Either a 0(4)-20 mA or 0-10 V retransmitted linear DC output is available
from the analog output plug-in card. The programmable output low and high
scaling can be based on various display values. Reverse slope output is possible
by reversing the scaling point positions.
