GENERAL DESCRIPTION

PAX Lite Current and Volt Meters are premium quality instruments designed 

for tough industrial applications. With multi-range capability, built-in provision 
for scaling, and DIP switch selectable decimal points, these meters offer the 
ultimate in application flexibility. Four models cover your voltage and current 
indicator needs. The meter can provide direct readout from pressure, speed or 
flow transducers, or any other variable that can be translated to voltage or 
current. The built-in scaling allows the display to be scaled to the desired 
engineering unit.

The 3 ½ -digit bi-polar display (minus sign displayed when current or voltage 

is negative) features a 0.56" high, 7-segment LEDs for easy reading. The meter 
is also available with custom units label capability. Using the PAX label kit 
(PAXLBK30), the selected label is installed behind the panel, keeping it safe 
from washdown or other environmental conditions. A DIP switch is used to 
control the backlight for the units label. 

The meters have a NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed bezel and extensive testing of 

noise effects to CE requirements, allowing the meter to provide a tough yet 
reliable application solution. 

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in the 

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.
