WARNING: Disconnect all power to the controller before
installing option cards.
Adding Option Cards
The PAX2C controller can be fitted with up to three option cards. FlexCard™
option cards can be placed in any of the three available PAX2C option card slots
and allows for multiple, and duplicate (2 max) FlexCards to be used in a single
controller. Standard option cards require that the option card be placed in a
specific PAX2C option card slot. Standard option card use is also limited to only
one option card for each function type. The function types include Setpoint/
Control (PAXCDS), Communications (PAXCDC), and Analog Output
(PAXCDL). Option cards can be installed initially or at a later date.
ANALOG INPUT FLEXCARDS (PX2FCA)
Analog Input FlexCard option cards can be placed in any of the three available
PAX2C option card slots and allow for multiple, and duplicate (2 max) FlexCards
to be used in a single controller.
