Timer/clock panel meter

September 2003 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration Fire & Safety

Red Lion is offering its PAX timer/clock (PAXCK) with its PAX series of panel meters. Whether an application requires an elapsed timer or a preset timer, this unit provides a single solution. Out of the box, the PAXCK works as an elapsed timer with two separate signal inputs and 23 selectable timing ranges. To use the unit as a preset timer, one plugs in a dual or quad setpoint output card, which gives the added capability to handle many preset timing applications.

With the addition of another plug-in card, the PAXCK can become a realtime clock. The time can be shown in 12 or 24-hour formats with am/pm indication. A calendar display is also available, which allows selection of the format to include day, month and/or year. The timing and realtime clock functions can occur simultaneously. Up to four displays: timer, cycle counter, RTC time and RTC date can be displayed.

The PAXCK offers RS232, RS485 and Modbus communication via a plug-in comms card. Display values, setpoint values and states can all be controlled through the serial loop. The meter can be fully configured from the front panel or by using Red Lion's free Windows-based program.

The PAX Series offers suitable solutions for applications requiring voltage, current, process, resistance, temperature, strain gauge, count, or rate and now timing/realtime clock.
