GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EPAX is a versatile display that can increase productivity by offering the

plant floor or production area a large visual display of their current status.

Whether your measurement is voltage, current, process, temperature, or strain

gage, the EPAX can satisfy your requirement. The EPAX accepts various analog

inputs through the use of input modules (MPAX) which allow the unit to adapt

to most any application. The MPAX Modules offer the same features as our

highly successful PAX Series Panel Meters. Additional plug-in option cards can

add alarms, analog output, and communication/bus capabilities, making the

EPAX a truly Intelligent Panel Meter.

SAFETY SUMMARY

All safety regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in this and

corresponding literature, or on equipment, must be observed to ensure personal

safety and to prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected

to it. If equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the

protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

The protective conductor terminal is bonded to conductive

parts of the equipment for safety purposes and must be

connected to an external protective earthing system.

SPECIFICATIONS

Additional specifications, wiring, programming, and information for the

individual MPAX models are contained in the corresponding standard PAX

literature. This PAX literature is shipped with the ordered MPAX model.

1. DISPLAY: 4" (101 mm) Red LED

5-Digit (EPAX0500): -19999 to 99999

2. POWER REQUIREMENTS:

AC MPAX Modules: 85 to 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 18 VA

EPAX Display: 85 to 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 10 VA

3. INPUT: Accepts analog input modules, see “Selecting Your Display

Components and Option Cards.”

4. ANNUNCIATORS:

Display Indication: Three vertical dots on the left side of the unit identify

the displays for the following modes:

Setpoint Indication: Four vertical dots on the right side of the unit identify

the setpoint “ON” condition, with SP 1 being the top position through SP

4 at the bottom.

5. EPAX Programming: The unit is a large display, designed to be remotely

mounted. Therefore, the unit does not have a programming keypad. Unit

programming should be accomplished by one of the following methods:

Rear Terminal Block: External switches can be wired via the terminal block

to allow unit programming. A minimum of 3 switches would be required.

Optional Programming Remote (EPAXPGM0): This option provides a 10

foot interconnecting cable and programming box. The Programming

Remote contains buttons similar to the PAX, allowing easy programming

of the EPAX display.

Optional Serial Programming: Like all PAX units, you can purchase an RS232

or RS485 Comms Card and program the unit via Crimson, a Windows

based software program.

1.0 ASSEMBLING THE DISPLAY CAUTION: The MPAX main circuit board and the option cards contain static sensitive components. Before handling the module or the cards, discharge static charges from your body by touching a grounded bare metal object. Handle the module by the rear plastic cover only, and the option cards by the board edges. Dirt, oil or other contaminants that contact the circuit boards or components can adversely affect circuit operation.

2.0 INSTALLING THE DISPLAY EPAX DISPLAY INSTALLATION The EPAX display is intended to be mounted into a panel or enclosure. The display is provided DIMENSIONS In inches (mm) with a gasket to provide a water-tight seal. The recommended minimum panel thickness for NEMA 4/IP65 sealing is 0.060" (1.57 mm). For panel mounting, prepare the panel cut-out to the dimensions shown in Figure 3. The supplied template may be used to mark the cut-out and hole locations on the panel.

3.0 WIRING AND PROGRAMMING THE DISPLAY Once assembled, the EPAX and MPAX have all the same functions and capabilities of our PAX Series Intelligent Panel Meters. Therefore, you will find the appropriate PAX information packed with the MPAX Module. Simply follow the instructions to wire and program the display for your application. Note: Both the EPAX and the MPAX module require power. It is recommended to connect the primary AC power to the EPAX terminal block, then jumper to the MPAX module.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1. Install the two mounting channels on the enclosure housing using the four #8-32 screws provided and then insert the strut nuts (provided). Invert enclosure if base mounting. 2. If the wiring is to be routed through the housing, make sure that the mounting channels are oriented properly before drilling, so the Display will be readable. Wiring is generally brought into the right side of the housing or rear panel, closest to the terminals of the MPAX module.
