GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EPAX is a versatile display that can increase productivity by offering the

plant floor or production area a large visual display of their current status.
Whether your measurement is voltage, current, process, temperature, or strain
gage, the EPAX can satisfy your requirement. The EPAX accepts various analog
inputs through the use of input modules (MPAX) which allow the unit to adapt
to most any application. The MPAX Modules offer the same features as our
highly successful PAX Series Panel Meters. Additional plug-in option cards can
add alarms, analog output, and communication/bus capabilities, making the
EPAX a truly Intelligent Panel Meter.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in this and

corresponding 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.

The protective conductor terminal is bonded to conductive

parts of the equipment for safety purposes and must be
connected to an external protective earthing system.

SPECIFICATIONS

Additional specifications, wiring, programming, and information for the

individual MPAX models are contained in the corresponding standard PAX
literature. This PAX literature is shipped with the ordered MPAX model.

DISPLAY

: 4" (101 mm) Red LED

5-Digit (EPAX0500): -19999 to 99999

POWER REQUIREMENTS

AC MPAX Modules: 85 to 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 18 VA
EPAX Display: 85 to 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 10 VA

INPUT

Components and Option Cards.”

ANNUNCIATORS

Display Indication

: Three vertical dots on the left side of the unit identify

the displays for the following modes:

Setpoint Indication

: Four vertical dots on the right side of the unit identify

the setpoint “ON” condition, with SP 1 being the top position through SP
4 at the bottom.

EPAX Programming

: The unit is a large display, designed to be remotely

mounted. Therefore, the unit does not have a programming keypad. Unit
programming should be accomplished by one of the following methods:

Rear Terminal Block

: External switches can be wired via the terminal block

to allow unit programming. A minimum of 3 switches would be required.

Optional Programming Remote (EPAXPGM0)

: This option provides a 10

foot interconnecting cable and programming box. The Programming
Remote contains buttons similar to the PAX, allowing easy programming
of the EPAX display.

Optional Serial Programming

: Like all PAX units, you can purchase an RS232

or RS485 Comms Card and program the unit via Crimson, a Windows

based software program.
