2. Instalace a nastavení

Proper installation is crucial for the reliable operation of the PAXCDS20 card. Ensure all power is disconnected from the PAX meter before proceeding with installation.

2.1 Fyzická instalace

  1. Odpojení napájení: Turn off and disconnect all power to the PAX Series Meter.
  2. Access Slot: Locate the expansion slot on the rear or side of the PAX meter, as specified in the meter's primary manual.
  3. Vložit kartu: Carefully align the PAXCDS20 card with the expansion slot connector. Gently push the card into the slot until it is fully seated. Avoid excessive force.
  4. Bezpečná karta: If applicable, use any provided screws or clips to secure the card in place within the meter housing.

2.2 Elektrické připojení

The PAXCDS20 card provides four relay outputs. Refer to the wiring diagram in the PAX meter's main manual for specific terminal assignments.

  • Reléové výstupy: Connect external devices (e.g., alarms, contactors, solenoids) to the appropriate relay output terminals. Ensure that the voltage and current ratings of the connected devices do not exceed the specifications of the PAXCDS20 relays.
  • Wiring Practices: Use appropriate wire gauges and follow all local electrical codes and safety regulations.

3. Provoz

Once installed, the PAXCDS20 card's relay outputs are controlled by the setpoint configurations within the host PAX Series Meter. The card itself does not have user-configurable settings; all control is managed through the meter's programming.

3.1 Setpoint Configuration

Refer to the Red Lion PAX Series Meter's primary instruction manual for detailed instructions on configuring setpoints. This typically involves:

  • Accessing the meter's programming menu.
  • Defining the setpoint values (e.g., high limit, low limit).
  • Assigning each setpoint to a specific relay output on the PAXCDS20 card.
  • Configuring the relay action (e.g., normally open/closed, latching/non-latching, delay times).

3.2 Relay Output Functionality

When a configured setpoint condition is met by the PAX meter's input, the corresponding relay on the PAXCDS20 card will activate or deactivate according to its programmed logic. This action can then control the connected external device.

4. Údržba

The PAXCDS20 card is designed for long-term, reliable operation with minimal maintenance. However, periodic inspection can help ensure continued performance.

  • Vizuální kontrola: Periodically inspect the card and its connections for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose wiring.
  • Čištění: If necessary, gently clean the card using a soft, dry brush or compressed air to remove dust and debris. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
  • Podmínky prostředí: Zajistěte, aby provozní prostředí zůstalo v rámci specifikovaného rozsahu teploty a vlhkosti, aby nedošlo k předčasnému selhání součástí.

5. Řešení problémů

If you encounter issues with the PAXCDS20 card, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

ProblémMožné řešení
Relay outputs not activating
  • Verify setpoint configuration in the PAX meter.
  • Check wiring to external devices for proper connection and continuity.
  • Ensure the PAX meter is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Confirm the input signal to the PAX meter is within the expected range to trigger the setpoint.
Intermittent relay operation
  • Zkontrolujte, zda nejsou uvolněné spoje nebo poškozené kabely.
  • Check for electrical noise or interference in the environment.
  • Ensure the power supply to the PAX meter is stable.
Card not recognized by PAX meter
  • Ujistěte se, že je karta zcela zasunuta v rozšiřujícím slotu.
  • Power cycle the PAX meter after installation.
  • Verify compatibility of the PAXCDS20 with your specific PAX meter model.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact Red Lion Controls technical support.
