PAXD Input Wiring

Please confirm your input signal type with the manufacturer documentation before connecting. 

 

Programming

 Please see page 16 of the product manual for navigating through the programming menu. 

In Module 1(1 - INP) you will need to select your input range (rANGE).

 

Scaling Input is how you teach your meter to display certain values based on input value. Inp -1 will normally be your lowest input value and dsp - 1 will be the value you wish to have your display show when seeing inp -1. Inp -2 will be your highest input value and dsp -2 will be the value you want your meter to display when seeing inp -2 value.

Example for a 4 - 20mA input:

  • Inp -1 = 4.00
  • dsp -1 = 0.00
  • inp -2 = 20.00
  • dsp -2 = 100.00

    * Please see the top of page 19 in the product manual for general notes on scaling
