installing option cards.
Adding
Option
Cards
The PAX and MPAX series meters can be fitted with up to three option
cards. The details for each option card can be reviewed in the
specification section below. Only one card from each function type can be
installed at one time. The function types include Setpoint Alarms
(PAXCDS), Communications (PAXCDC or PAXUSB), and Real-Time
Clock Card (PAXRTC). The option cards can be installed initially or at a
later date.
COMMUNICATION
CARDS
(PAXCDC)
A variety of communication protocols are available for the PAX and
MPAX series. Only one of these cards can be installed at a time. When
programming the unit via Crimson, a Windows
®
based program, a USB,
RS232 or RS485 Card must be used.
