DESCRIPTION

This bulletin serves as a guide for the installation of PAX Setpoint cards. The 

setpoint cards are available as dual relay, quad relay, quad sinking transistor, 

quad sourcing transistor/SSR drive, or dual triac/dual SSR drive outputs.

INSTALLING A PAXCDS OPTION CARD

Caution

: The option and main circuit boards contain static 

sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge static 

charges from your body by touching a grounded bare metal 

object. Ideally, handle the circuit boards at a static controlled 

clean workstation. Dirt, oil or other contaminants that may 

contact the circuit boards can adversely affect circuit operation.

Warning

: Exposed line voltage may be present on the circuit 

boards when power is applied. Remove all power to the unit AND 

load circuits before accessing the unit.

1. When handling the main circuit board, hold it by the rear cover. When 

handling the output card, hold it by the terminal block.

2. Remove the main assembly from the rear of the case by squeezing both finger 

holds on the rear cover and pulling the assembly out of the case. Or use a 

small screwdriver to depress the side latches and pull the main assembly out 

of the case. Do not remove the rear cover from the main circuit board.

3. Install the output card by locating the PAXCDS output card slot location on 

the main circuit board. Align the option card terminal block with slot # 3 

terminal block position of the rear cover. Align the PAXCDS connector with 

the main circuit board option card connector and then press to fully engage 

the connectors. Verify that the tab on the option card rests in the alignment 

slot on the display board.

4. If installing a PAXCDS60 option card; a knock-out on the top of the PAX case 

will need to be removed to allow the PAXCDS60 top terminal block to be 

inserted later. Locate the 

 shaped knock-out, positioned at the Setpoint 

Option, Option Slot 3, location. When looking at the case from the back with 

knock-outs on top, it is the 

 shaped knock-out on the right. Carefully 

remove the knock-out, being careful not to remove any additional knock-outs.  

Trim any knock-out tabs (gates) that remain on the case. Complete Step 5 and 

then plug the PAXCDS60 top terminal into the PAXCDS60. 

5. Slide the assembly back into the case. Be sure the rear cover latches fully 

engage in the case.

6. Apply the option card label to the bottom side of the unit. 

Do not cover the 

vents on the top surface of the unit.

 The surface of the case must be clean 

for the label to adhere properly. Apply the label to the area designated by the 

large case label.
