Overview
The
Red Lion PAXLIT00 PAX LIT Lite series panel meter is a 5 Amp AC current meter with a 3 1/2 digit red LED display in a 1/8 DIN housing. It measures large AC currents directly up to 5 Amps or up to 1999 Amps with an external current transformer.0–5A AC Input3 1/2 Digit DisplayIP65 Front
Built-in scaling provisions, selectable decimal point location, auto zeroing circuits, and over-range indication make this meter a straightforward current display for industrial panels. It is AC powered and accessory shunts are available for higher current ranges.
🔌 AC Current Monitoring
Measurement Range: Measures 0 to 5 Amps AC at 45 to 400 Hz directly.
Extended Ranges: Can display up to 1999 Amps when used with an external current transformer.
Display Setup: Scaling and decimal point location are selectable by DIP switch for the application.
Key Features
- 1/8 DIN housing: compact panel mount format
- 3 1/2 digit red LED display: clear current indication
- Built-in scaling provisions: adapts display to current range
- Selectable decimal point location: DIP switch setup
- Auto zeroing circuits: stable current display
- Over-range indication: alerts when measured value exceeds display range
- NEMA 4X/IP65 front panel: protected face rating
✅ Why Choose This Panel Meter?
The PAXLIT00 is designed for panels that need a simple AC current readout with built-in scaling and a 1/8 DIN industrial display format. It can measure 0 to 5A directly or support higher displayed ranges through an external current transformer.
Applications
Use the PAXLIT00 where AC current needs to be displayed on a control panel:
- AC current monitoring
- Current transformer scaled displays
- Large current indication up to 1999A with external CT
- Industrial equipment current readouts
- Panel-mounted current indication
⚠️ Important Application Info
Confirm the 115/230 VAC selection before energizing the meter.
Do not exceed the current input ratings. The signal input range is 0 to 5 Amps AC, with max shunt current of 50 Amps for 1 second or 8 Amps continuous.
Use the proper external current transformer when scaling the display for higher current ranges.
Performance Benefits
- Displays AC current directly in a compact 1/8 DIN meter format
- Built-in scaling and selectable decimal point simplify setup
- External current transformer support expands displayed current range
- Auto zeroing and over-range indication improve monitoring reliability
🔧 Field Upgradeable Design
Accessory shunts and external current transformers can be used to adapt the meter to higher current display requirements.
