PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
NEMA 4X/IP65 SEALED FRONT BEZEL
The meters can have up to four setpoint outputs, determined by the optional
plug-in cards. The setpoint plug-in cards provide dual FORM-C relays (5A),
quad FORM-A relays (3A) or either quad sinking or quad sourcing open
collector logic outputs. The outputs can be assigned to the timer, counter, RTC
date, and RTC time. The outputs can also be independently configured to suit a
variety of control and alarm requirements.
Plug-in cards can also provide serial communications. These include RS232,
RS485, Modbus, DeviceNet, and Profibus-DP. Display values, setpoint alarm
values and setpoint states can be controlled through serial communications.
With the RS232 or RS485 communication card installed, it is possible to
configure the meter using a Windows
®
based program. The meter configuration
data can be saved to a file for later recall.
Once the meters have been initially configured, the parameter list may be
locked out from further modification entirely, or the setpoint, timer start/stop
values, counter start/stop values, RTC time SET, and Display Intensity can be
made accessible. This lockout is possible through a security code or user input.
The meters have been specifically designed for harsh industrial environments.
With a NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed bezel and extensive testing to meet CE
requirements, the meter provides a tough yet reliable application solution.
The PAXTM (PAX Timer) and PAXCK (PAX Clock/Timer) offer many
features and performance capabilities to suit a wide range of industrial
applications. Both can function as an Elapsed Timer or Preset Timer, while the
PAXCK also offers Real-Time Clock with Date capability. The Plug-in option
cards allow the opportunity to configure the meter for the present application,
while providing easy upgrades for future needs.
Both units can function as an Elapsed Time Indicator. By using two separate
signal inputs and 23 selectable timer ranges, the meters can be programmed to
meet most any timing application. With the addition of a Plug-in Setpoint card,
they can easily become a dual or quad output preset timer.
The PAXCK can also operate as a Real-Time Clock (RTC), with the Real-
Time Clock Card already installed. The meter is capable of displaying time in
12 or 24-hour time formats. The 12-hour format can be displayed in hours and
minutes, with or without an AM/PM indication or in hours, minutes, and
seconds. The 24-hour format can be displayed in hours and minutes or in hours,
minutes, and seconds. The PAXCK is also capable of a calendar display in
which the day, month and/or year can be displayed. The meter will recognize
leap years, and can automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time. The Real-
Time Clock has the ability to externally synchronize with other PAXCK meters
to provide a uniform display network throughout the plant.
If the application calls for both a Preset Timer and a Real-Time Clock at the
same time, the PAXCK can handle this requirement as well. The meter provides
up to four different displays, accessed via front panel push buttons or external
inputs. The displays are Timer (TMR), which displays the current timer value;
Count (CNT), which displays the current cycle counter value; Date (DAT),
which displays the current programmed date; and Real-Time Clock, which
displays the current time. A battery-backed Real-Time Clock plug-in card is
provided with the PAXCK. This card, which includes a lithium coin-cell battery,
will maintain the time and date when main power is removed.
The meters accept inputs from a variety of sources including switch contacts
and outputs from CMOS or TTL circuits. The input can be configured to trigger
on the edge or level of the incoming pulse. Internal jumpers are available to allow
the selection for sinking inputs (active low) or sourcing inputs (active high).
The front panel keys and three user inputs are programmable to perform
various meter functions. One of the functions includes exchanging parameter
lists, allowing for two separate listings of setpoint values, timer start/stop
values, counter start/stop values and RTC daily on and off values.

NSTALLING
Installation
THE
M
ETER
While holding the meter in place, push the panel latch over the rear of the
meter so that the tabs of the panel latch engage in the slots on the case. The
panel latch should be engaged in the farthest forward slot possible. To achieve
a proper seal, tighten the latch screws evenly until the meter is snug in the panel
(Torque to approximately 7 in-lbs [79N-cm]). Do not over-tighten the screws.
The meter meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements for indoor use when properly
installed. The meter is intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel. Prepare
the panel cutout to the dimensions shown. Remove the panel latch from the
meter. Slide the panel gasket over the
rear of the meter to the back of the
bezel. The meter should be
installed fully assembled.
Insert the meter into the
panel cutout.
Installation Environment
The meter should be installed in a location that does not exceed the operating
temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the meter near devices
that generate excessive heat should be avoided.
The bezel should only be cleaned with a soft cloth and neutral soap product.
Do NOT use solvents. Continuous exposure to direct sunlight may accelerate
the aging process of the bezel.
Do not use tools of any kind (screwdrivers, pens, pencils, etc.) to operate the
keypad of the meter.

THE
J
UMPERS
Timer Input Logic Jumper
One jumper is used for the logic state of both timer inputs. Select the proper
position to match the input being used.
To access the jumpers, remove the meter base from the meter case by firmly
squeezing and pulling back on the side rear finger tabs. This should lower the
latch below the case slot (which is located just in front of the finger tabs). It is
recommended to release the latch on one side, then start the other side latch.
Warning:
Exposed line voltage exists on the circuit boards. Remove
all power to the meter and load circuits before accessing inside of
the meter.
User Input Logic Jumper
One jumper is used for the logic state of all user inputs. If the user inputs are
not used, it is not necessary to check or move this jumper.
