GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PAXDR is a 5-digit Dual Rate Indicator and 6-digit Dual Totalizer in a
single meter. Two Rate and two Total displays are provided (A and B), along
with two additional calculation displays (C) to show the Sum, Difference, Ratio,
% of Total or Draw between A and B displays. Any of the six displays are
viewable: A, B or C Rate and A, B or C Total. The meter’s LED display has
0.56" digits, available in red sunlight readable or standard green. The display
intensity is adjustable for low level lighting conditions up to sunlight readable
applications.
The meter has two signal inputs from which the Rate and Totalizer values are
derived. For the Rate displays, up to 10 point scaling is provided for each input,
to scale non-linear rate processes. Separate scaling is provided for both the A
and B Totalizers. The independent scaling allows for Rate only, Totalizer only
or combination Rate/Totalizer applications, with or without the calculation
displays.
While suitable for many applications, this meter is ideal for flow measurement
where both flow rate and flow volume are measured. Two separate flow lines
can be monitored simultaneously, each scaled to convert flow to a common unit
of measure. Flow rate is easily scaled to read flow per time period (sec/min/hr).
The flow rate and volume for each line can be shown, as well as the Sum,
Difference, Ratio, etc. between the two lines for flow rate and/or volume. A
different calculation function may be used for Rate and Total if desired.
Optional plug-in cards provide up to four setpoint outputs, a linear DC output
and communications capability. The Plug-in setpoint cards provide dual
FORM-C relays (5 A), quad FORM-A relays (3 A), or either quad sinking or
quad sourcing open collector logic outputs. The outputs can be assigned to any
of the Rate or Totalizer display values, and configured to suit a variety of control
and alarm requirements.
The linear DC output Plug-in card provides either 20 mA or 10 V signals. The
output can be scaled independent of the input range and can track any of the
Rate or Totalizer displays.
Communication and Bus Capabilities are also available as option cards.
These include RS232, RS485, Modbus, DeviceNet and Profibus-DP. Readout
values and setpoint alarm values can be controlled through the bus. Additionally,
the meter has a feature that allows a remote serial device to directly control the
meter outputs.
The PAXDR is available in AC or DC powered versions. The meter has been
specifically designed for harsh industrial environments. With NEMA 4X/IP65
sealed bezel and extensive testing to meet CE requirements, the meter provides
a tough yet reliable application solution.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in this
literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use this meter to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators
not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or
equipment in the event of a fault to the meter.

1.0 INSTALLING THE METER
2.0 SETTING THE JUMPER AND DIP SWITCHES
2.1 SETTING THE JUMPER
The meter has one jumper for user input logic. When using the user inputs
this jumper must be set before applying power. The Main Circuit Board figure
shows the location of the jumper and DIP switch.
The user input jumper determines signal logic for the user inputs, when they
are used with user functions or for input signal direction. All user inputs are set
by this jumper.
2.2 SETTING THE INPUT DIP SWITCHES
The meter has six DIP switches for Input A and Input B terminal set-up that
must be set before applying power.
SWITCHES 1 and 4
LOGIC: Input trigger levels VIL = 1.5 V max.; VIH = 3.75 V min.
MAG: 200 mV peak input (must also have SRC on). Not recommended with
counting applications.
SWITCHES 2 and 5
SNK.: Adds internal 7.8 Kpull-up resistor to +12 VDC, IMAX = 1.9 mA.
SRC.: Adds internal 3.9 Kpull-down resistor, 7.3 mA max. @ 28 VDC,

Installation
The PAX meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements when properly installed. The
unit is intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel. Prepare the panel cutout
to the dimensions shown. Remove the panel latch from the unit. Slide the panel
gasket over the rear of the unit to the back of the bezel. The unit should be
installed fully assembled. Insert the unit into the panel cutout.
While holding the unit in place, push the panel latch over the rear of the unit
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 unit is snug in the panel
(Torque to approximately 7 in-lbs [79N-cm]). Do not over-tighten the screws.
Installation Environment
The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the operating
temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the unit 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 unit.

The Plug-in cards are separately purchased optional cards that perform
specific functions. These cards plug into the main circuit board of the meter. The
Plug-in cards have many unique functions when used with the PAX. The
literature that comes with these cards should be discarded, unless it specifically
states in the Plug-in Card literature that the information applies to the PAX.
CAUTION: The Plug-in card and main circuit board contain static
sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge static
charges from your body by touching a grounded bare metal
object. Ideally, handle the cards at a static controlled clean
workstation. Also, only handle the cards by the edges. Dirt, oil or
other contaminants that may contact the cards can adversely
affect circuit operation.
To Install:
1. With the case open, locate the Plug-in card connector for the card type to be
installed. The types are keyed by position with different main circuit board
connector locations. When installing the card, hold the meter by the rear
terminals and not by the front display board.*
2. Install the Plug-in card by aligning the card terminals with the slot bay in the
rear cover. Be sure the connector is fully engaged and the tab on the Plug-in
card rests in the alignment slot on the display board.
3. Slide the meter base back into the case. Be sure the rear cover latches fully
into the case.
4. Apply the Plug-in card label to the bottom side of the meter in the designated
area. Do Not Cover the vents on the top surface of the meter. The surface of
the case must be clean for the label to adhere properly.

WIRING OVERVIEW
Electrical connections are made via screw-clamp terminals located on the
back of the meter. All conductors should conform to the meter’s voltage and
current ratings. All cabling should conform to appropriate standards of good
installation, local codes and regulations. It is recommended that the power
supplied to the meter (DC or AC) be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.
When wiring the meter, compare the numbers embossed on the back of the
meter case against those shown in wiring drawings for proper wire position.
Strip the wire, leaving approximately 0.3" (7.5 mm) bare lead exposed (stranded
wires should be tinned with solder.) Insert the lead under the correct screw-
clamp terminal and tighten until the wire is secure. (Pull wire to verify
tightness.) Each terminal can accept up to one #14 AWG (2.55 mm) wire, two
#18 AWG (1.02 mm), or four #20 AWG (0.61 mm).
EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Although this meter is designed with a high degree of immunity to Electro-
Magnetic Interference (EMI), proper installation and wiring methods must be
followed to ensure compatibility in each application. The type of the electrical
noise, source or coupling method into the meter may be different for various
installations. The meter becomes more immune to EMI with fewer I/O
connections. Cable length, routing, and shield termination are very important
and can mean the difference between a successful or troublesome installation.
Listed below are some EMC guidelines for successful installation in an
industrial environment.
1. The meter should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly
connected to protective earth.
2. Use shielded (screened) cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield
(screen) pigtail connection should be made as short as possible. The
connection point for the shield depends somewhat upon the application.
Listed below are the recommended methods of connecting the shield, in order
of their effectiveness.
a. Connect the shield only at the panel where the unit is mounted to earth
ground (protective earth).
b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when
the noise source frequency is above 1 MHz.
c. Connect the shield to common of the meter and leave the other end of the
shield unconnected and insulated from earth ground.
3. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or raceway with AC
power lines, conductors feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, and
heaters, etc. The cables should be ran in metal conduit that is properly
grounded. This is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long
and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation
is near a commercial radio transmitter.
4. Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed as far as possible
from contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy components.
5. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression
devices, such as ferrite suppression cores, is effective. Install them on Signal
and Control cables as close to the unit as possible. Loop the cable through the
core several times or use multiple cores on each cable for additional
protection. Install line filters on the power input cable to the unit to suppress
power line interference. Install them near the power entry point of the
enclosure. The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are
recommended:
Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables:
Fair-Rite # 0443167251 (RLC# FCOR0000)
TDK # ZCAT3035-1330A
Steward # 28B2029-0A0
Line Filters for input power cables:
Schaffner # FN610-1/07 (RLC# LFIL0000)
Schaffner # FN670-1.8/07
Corcom # 1 VR3
Note: Reference manufacturer’s instructions when installing a line filter.
6. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.
Therefore, keep cable runs as short as possible.
7. Switching of inductive loads produces high EMI. Use of snubbers across
inductive loads suppresses EMI.
Snubber: RLC# SNUB0000.

CAUTION: Sensor input common is NOT isolated from user input common. In order to preserve the safety of the meter application, the sensor input
common must be suitably isolated from hazardous live earth referenced voltage; or input common must be at protective earth ground potential. If not,
hazardous voltage may be present at the User Inputs and User Input Common terminals. Appropriate considerations must then be given to the potential
of the user input common with respect to earth ground; and the common of the isolated plug-in cards with respect to input common.

RS232 Communications
RS232 is intended to allow two devices to communicate over distances up to
50 feet. Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) transmits data on the Transmitted Data
(TXD) line and receives data on the Received Data (RXD) line. Data Computer
Equipment (DCE) receives data on the TXD line and transmits data on the RXD
line. The PAX emulates a DTE. If the other device connected to the meter also
emulates a DTE, the TXD and RXD lines must be interchanged for
communications to take place. This is known as a null modem connection. Most
printers emulate a DCE device while most computers emulate a DTE device.
Some devices cannot accept more than two or three characters in succession
without a pause in between. In these cases, the meter employs a busy function.
As the meter begins to transmit data, the RXD line (RS232) is monitored to
determine if the receiving device is “busy”. The receiving device asserts that it
is busy by setting the RXD line to a space condition (logic 0). The meter then
suspends transmission until the RXD line is released by the receiving device.
RS485 Communications
The RS485 communication standard allows the connection of up to 32
devices on a single pair of wires, distances up to 4,000 ft. and data rates as high
as 10M baud (the PAX is limited to 19.2k baud). The same pair of wires is used
to both transmit and receive data. RS485 is therefore always half-duplex, that
is, data cannot be received and transmitted simultaneously.

PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY (PAR KEY)
The meter normally operates in the Display Mode. No parameters can be
programmed in this mode. The Programming Mode is entered by pressing the
PAR key. If it is not accessible then it is locked by either a security code, or a
hardware lock.
Two types of programming modes are available. Quick Programming Mode
permits only certain parameters to be viewed and/or modified. All meter
functions continue to operate except the front panel keys change to Programming
Mode Operations. Quick Programming Mode is configured in Module 3.
Full Programming Mode permits all parameters to be viewed and modified.
In this mode, incoming counts may not be recognized correctly, the front panel
keys change to Programming Mode Operations and certain user input functions
are disabled. Throughout this document, Programming Mode always refers to
“Full” Programming, unless “Quick Programming” is referenced.
MODULE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)
The Programming Menu is organized into nine modules. These modules group
together parameters that are related in function. The display will alternate between
 and the present module. The arrow keys (F1and F2) are used to select
the desired module. The displayed module is entered by pressing the PAR key.
MODULE MENU (PAR KEY)
Each module has a separate module menu (which is shown at the start of each
module discussion). The PAR key is pressed to advance to a particular parameter
to be changed, without changing the programming of preceding parameters.
After completing a module, the display will return to . Programming may
continue by accessing additional modules.
SELECTION / VALUE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)
For each parameter, the display alternates between the present parameter and
the selections/value for that parameter. The arrow keys (F1and F2) are used
to move through the selections/values for that parameter. Pressing the PAR key,
stores and activates the displayed selection/value. This also advances the meter
to the next parameter.
For numeric values, the RST key may be used to select a specific digit to be
changed. Once a digit is selected, the arrow keys are used to increment or
decrement that digit to the desired number.
PROGRAMMING MODE EXIT (DSP KEY or at  PAR KEY)
The Programming Mode is exited by pressing the DSP key (from anywhere
in the Programming Mode) or the PAR key (with   displayed). This will
commit any stored parameter changes to memory and return the meter to the
Display Mode. If a parameter was just changed, the PAR key should be pressed
to store the change before pressing the DSP key. (If power loss occurs before
returning to the Display Mode, verify recent parameter changes.)
PROGRAMMING TIPS
It is recommended to start with Module 1 and proceed through each module
in sequence. If lost or confused while programming, press the DSP key and start
over. When programming is complete, it is recommended to record the
parameter programming on the Parameter Value Chart and lock out parameter
programming with a user input or lock-out code.
FACTORY SETTINGS
Factory Settings may be completely restored in Module 9. This is a good
starting point if encountering programming problems. All factory settings are
listed on the Parameter Value Chart following the Programming section.
ALTERNATING SELECTION DISPLAY
In the explanation of the modules, the following dual display with arrows will
appear. This is used to illustrate the display alternating between the parameter
on top and the parameter’s Factory Setting on the bottom. In most cases,
selections or value ranges for the parameter will be listed on the right.

This parameter specifies the number of linear segments used for the Rate A
Scaling function. Each linear segment has two scaling points which define the
upper and lower endpoints of the segment. The number of segments used
depends on the linearity of the process and the display accuracy required as
described below.
Linear Application – 2 Scaling Points
Linear processes use a single segment (two scaling points) to provide a linear
Rate display from 0 up to the maximum input frequency. For typical zero based
frequency measurements (0 Hz = 0 on display), leave  (factory setting).
For non-zero based 2 scaling point applications, set , to enter both the

RATE A INPUT VALUE FOR SCALING POINT 1
RATE A DISPLAY VALUE FOR SCALING POINT 1
Non-linear Application – Up to 10 Scaling Points
Non-linear processes may utilize up to nine segments (ten scaling points) to
provide a piece-wise linear approximation representing the non-linear function.
The Rate display will be linear throughout each individual segment (i.e.
between sequential scaling points). Thus, the greater the number of segments,
the greater the conformity accuracy.
About Scaling Points
Each Scaling Point is specified by two programmable parameters: A desired
Rate Display Value () and a corresponding Rate Input Value (). Scaling
points are entered sequentially in ascending order of Rate Input Value.
Two scaling points must be programmed to define the upper and lower
endpoints of the first linear segment. Setting , automatically factory sets
the first scaling point to 0.0 for typical single segment, zero based applications.
When multiple segments are used, the upper scaling point for a given segment
becomes the lower scaling point for the next sequential segment. Thus, for each
additional segment used, only one additional scaling point must be programmed.
The following chart shows the Scaling Points, the corresponding Parameter
mnemonics, and the Factory Default Settings for each point.

using the Key-in or the Applied method described below.
Key-in Method:
Enter the Rate Input value () that corresponds to the entered Rate Display

second (Hz).
Applied Method:
Apply an external rate signal to the appropriate input terminals. At the Rate
Input Value () press and hold the F1 and F2 keys at the same time. The
applied input frequency (in Hz) will appear on the display. (To verify correct
reading wait for at least the length of the Low Update Time. Then press and
hold the F1 and F2 keys at the same time again. The new value should be ±
0.1% of the previous entered value.) Press PAR to enter the displayed

RATE SCALING
To scale the Rate, enter a Scaling Display value with a corresponding Scaling
Input value. (The Input value can be entered by Key-in or Applied Methods.)
These values are internally plotted to a Display value of 0 and Input value of 0
Hz. A linear relationship is formed between these points to yield a rate display
value that corresponds to the incoming input signal rate.
SCALING CALCULATION FOR KEY-IN METHOD
If a display value versus input signal (in pulses per second) is known, then
those values can be entered into Scaling Display (x) and Scaling Input
(x). No further calculations are needed.
If only the number of pulses per ‘single’ unit (i.e. # of pulses per foot) is
known, then it can be entered as the Scaling Input value and the Scaling Display
value will be entered as the following:
NOTES:
1. If # of pulses per unit is less than 1, multiply both Input and Display values
by 10 or 100 as needed to obtain greater accuracy.
2. If the Display value is raised or lowered, then Input value must be raised
or lowered by the same proportion (i.e. Display value for per hour is
entered by a third less (1200) then Input value is a third less of # of pulses
per unit). The same is true if the Input value is raised or lowered, then
Display value must be raised or lowered by the same proportion.
3. Both values must be greater than 0.
EXAMPLE:
1. With 15.1 pulses per foot, show feet per minute in tenths. Scaling Display
= 60.0 Scaling Input = 15.1.
2. With 0.25 pulses per gallon, show whole gallons per hour. (To have greater
accuracy, multiply both Input and Display values by 10.) Scaling Display
= 36000 Scaling Input = 2.5.

Rounding values other than one will round the Rate display to the nearest

INPUT FREQUENCY CALCULATION
The meter determines the input frequency by summing the number of falling
edges received during a sample period of time. The sample period begins on the
first falling edge. At this falling edge, the meter starts accumulating time
towards Low Update and High Update values.Also, the meter starts accumulating
the number of falling edges. When the time reaches the Low Update Time value,
the meter looks for one more falling edge to end the sample period. If a falling
edge occurs (before the High Update Time value is reached), the Rate display
will update to the new value and the next sample period will start on the same
edge. If the High Update Time value is reached (without receiving a falling edge
after reaching Low Update Time), then the sample period will end but the Rate
display will be forced to zero. The High Update Time value must be greater than
the Low Update Time value. Both values must be greater than 0.0. The input
frequency calculated during the sample period, is then shown as a Rate value
determined by either scaling method.

FUNCTION KEYSUSER INPUTS
PARAMETER MENU
Module 2 is the programming for rear terminal user inputs and front panel
function keys.
Three rear terminal user inputs are individually programmable to perform
specific meter control functions. While in the Display Mode, the function is
executed when the user input transitions to the active state. (Refer to the user
input specifications for active state response times.) Certain user input functions
are disabled while the meter is in “full” Programming Mode.
Three front panel function F1, F2 and RST keys are also individually
programmable to perform specific meter control functions. While in the Display
Mode, the primary function is executed when the key is pressed. Holding the
F1 and F2 function keys for three seconds executes a secondary function. It is
possible to program a secondary function without a primary function. The front
panel key functions are disabled while the meter is in Programming Mode.
In most cases, if more than one user input and/or function key is programmed
for the same function, the maintained (level trigger) actions will be performed
while at least one of those user inputs or function keys are activated. The
momentary (edge trigger) actions are performed every time any of those user
inputs or function keys transition to the active state.
Some of the user functions have a sublist of parameters. The sublist is
accessed when PAR is pressed at the listed function. The function will only be
performed for the parameters entered as . If a user input or function key is
configured for a function with a sublist, then that sublist will need to be scrolled
through each time to access the following user inputs or function keys
parameters.

NO FUNCTION
With this selection, NO function is performed. This is the factory setting for
all user inputs and function keys.
NOTE: When a user input is used to accept a quad or directional input
signal, then that user input should be programmed for NO function.
PROGRAMMING MODE LOCK-OUT
Programming Mode is locked-out, as long as activated
(maintained action). In Module 3, certain parameters can
be setup where they are still accessible during
Programming Mode Lockout. A security code can be
configured to allow complete programming access during user input lockout.
Function keys should not be programmed for .

(x), scale multiplier (x) and decimal point (x). The scale
factor is calculated using:

1. Show feet to the hundredths (0.00) with 100 pulses per foot:
Scale Factor would be 100 / (100 x 1 x 1) = 1
(In this case, the scale multiplier and totalizer mode factor are 1)
2. Show feet with 120 pulses per foot: Scale Factor would be 1 / (120 x 1 x 1)
= 0.0083333. (In this case, the scale multiplier of 0.01 could be used: 1 / (120
x 1 x 0.01) = 0.83333 or show to hundredths (0.00): 100 / (120 x 1 x 1) =
0.8333.)
General Rules on Scaling
1. It is recommended that, the scale factor be as close as possible to, but not
exceeding 1.00000. This can be accomplished by increasing or decreasing
the totalizer decimal point position, using the scale multiplier, or selecting a
different totalizer mode.
2. To double the number of pulses per unit, use totalizer modes direction X2 or
quad X2. To increase it by four times, use totalizer mode quad X4. Using
these modes will decrease the maximum input frequency.
3. A scale factor greater than 1.00000 will cause Totalizer display rounding. In
this case, digit jumps could be caused by the internal count register rounding
the display. The precision of a totalizer application cannot be improved by
using a scale factor greater than 1.00000.
4. The number of pulses per single unit must be greater than or equal to the
DDD value for the scale factor to be less than or equal to one.
5. Lowering the scale factor can be accomplished by lowering the totalizer
decimal position. (Example: 100 (Hundredths)/10 pulses = 10.000 lowering
to 10 (Tenths)/10 = 1.000.)
8 DIGIT TOTALIZER VALUES
Any totalizer display value below -99999 or above 999999 (less decimal
point) will consist of a two part display. This display alternates between the 6
least significant digits and the remaining most significant digits beginning with
“” in the display. If the display exceeds ± 99999999 the display will flash
 to indicate an 8 digit overflow. Outputs cannot be set to totalizer values
above 6 digits. The annunciator, indicating the totalizer being displayed, will
flash when the value is above 6 digits.

TOTALIZER C SCALE FACTOR
The result of the Totalizer C calculation is multiplied by the Scale Factor and
Scale Multiplier to obtain the Totalizer C display value. Normally, a scale factor
of 1.00000 is used to show the calculated result without any further scaling
applied. If however, additional scaling is needed, the scale factor can be set to
provide the desired reading.

Module 5 is the programming for Totalizer C. For maximum input frequency,
the Totalizer C Calculation should be set to  when not in use. When set to
,the remaining Totalizer C parameters are not accessible. The C
annunciator indicates that Totalizer C is being shown in the Display Mode. An
Exchange Parameter List feature for the Scale Factor is explained in Module 2.

TOTALIZER C SCALE MULTIPLIER
Set the Scale Multiplier to provide the desired Totalizer C display resolution.
For Totalizer C percentage calculations, the result is internally multiplied by
10,000 to show percentage in hundredths with a scale multiplier of 1 (select 2
decimal places). By using a scale multiplier of 0.1 or 0.01, along with the proper
decimal point position, the display can be divided down to show percentage in

PARAMETER MENU
Module 6 is the programming for the setpoint (alarms) output parameters. To have setpoint outputs, a setpoint Plug-in card needs to
be installed into the PAX (see Ordering Information). Depending on the card installed, there will be two or four setpoint outputs
available. This section replaces the bulletin that comes with the setpoint plug-in card. Please discard the separate literature when using
the Plug-in card with the PAXDR. For maximum input frequency, unused Setpoints should be configured for  action.
The Setpoint Assignment and the Setpoint Action determine certain setpoint parameter availability. The chart below illustrates this.
