Overview
The
Red Lion PAXCDS20 is a quad setpoint relay output option card for Red Lion PAX series panel meters. It provides four form A relay outputs for switching setpoint-controlled loads from a compatible PAX meter.4 Relays3A RatingSetpoint Output
The card is rated for 3 amps at 250 VAC or 30 VDC with one relay energized, and total current with all four relays energized must not exceed 4 amps. PAX series panel meters support option cards for serial communications, analog output, and setpoint output, with only one card from each category allowed at a time.
⚙️ Four Form A Relay Outputs
Relay Type: Four form A relay outputs for setpoint control.
Contact Rating: 3 amps @ 250 VAC or 30 VDC with one relay energized.
Life Expectancy: 100K cycles minimum at full load rating.
Key Features
- Quad setpoint relay output: adds four relay outputs to compatible PAX meters
- 4 amp total current limit: total current with all four relays energized must not exceed 4 amps
- 2300 Vrms isolation: isolation to sensor and user input commons for 1 minute
- RC snubber compatible: external RC snubber can extend relay life with inductive loads
- PAX series compatibility: made for Red Lion PAX panel meter option slots
✅ Setpoint Switching for PAX Panel Meters
The PAXCDS20 is a strong choice when a PAX meter must trigger alarms, relays, indicators, or control actions based on programmed setpoints.
Applications
The PAXCDS20 is ideal for applications that require relay setpoint outputs from a PAX series panel meter:
- Alarm relay outputs
- Machine status signaling
- Process limit switching
- Control panel setpoint outputs
- Discrete load switching from meter values
⚠️ Important Installation Info
Current Limit: Total current with all four relays energized must not exceed 4 amps.
Inductive Loads: Use an external RC snubber to help extend relay life when switching inductive loads.
Compatibility: Use only with compatible Red Lion PAX series panel meters.
Performance Benefits
- Adds four relay outputs to compatible PAX meters
- Supports alarm, limit, and discrete control functions
- High isolation rating supports reliable panel integration
- External snubber option can improve relay life on inductive loads
