Product Overview
Red Lion PAXCDS10 is a plug-in setpoint output option card for the PAX series of digital panel meters. It adds two independent Form C (SPDT) relay outputs to a PAX meter, enabling alarm triggers and on/off control of external loads based on the meter's measured process variable. The card seats directly into the setpoint output slot on the back of the PAX meter and connects via screw terminal block.
Key Features
- Two Form C (normally open / normally closed) relay outputs
- Contact rating: 5A at 120/240VAC or 28VDC resistive load
- Plug-in option card format - seats directly into PAX meter setpoint output slot
- Screw terminal block connection for external wiring
- Compatible with Red Lion PAX series digital panel meters
- Only one setpoint output card may be installed per PAX meter
- RoHS compliant - confirmed on label
- PCB revision M1999 REV C; date code 03JUN16
Applications
- Maintenance tech plugs the card into a PAX meter monitoring tank level, wiring one relay to a fill pump and the other to a high-level alarm horn - both setpoints configured directly in the meter, no external relay module required
- Automation engineer adds dual relay outputs to an existing PAX meter on a conveyor line to trigger a divert gate at an upper threshold and a stop signal at a lower threshold
- System integrator specifying a PAX-based monitoring panel for a water treatment skid installs the PAXCDS10 to drive a solenoid valve and a remote indicator light from a single meter footprint
- OEM building process control equipment uses the PAXCDS10 to keep wiring compact - two controlled outputs live inside the panel meter rather than on a separate DIN-rail relay block
- Hobbyist or lab builder adding a Red Lion PAX meter to a temperature or pressure rig uses the card to switch a fan or heater based on a programmed setpoint threshold
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Red Lion meters accept the PAXCDS10?
The PAXCDS10 is designed for the Red Lion PAX series of digital panel meters. It is not compatible with panel meters outside the PAX series.
Can I install two PAXCDS10 cards in one PAX meter for four relay outputs?
No. Only one setpoint output card may be installed per PAX meter at a time. If four relay outputs are needed from a single meter, consider the PAXCDS20 (quad Form A) or PAXCDS60 (quad Form C) variants instead.
What loads can the relays switch?
Each relay is rated 5A at 120/240VAC or 28VDC on a resistive load. Verify that the devices you intend to switch fall within this contact rating before wiring.
Is a PAX meter or any other hardware included?
No. This listing is for the PAXCDS10 option card only. A compatible Red Lion PAX series panel meter is required separately.
Does this card require any special tools or accessories to install?
The card is a plug-in design that seats directly into the setpoint output slot on the back of the PAX meter. A screwdriver for the screw terminal block connections is all that is needed for wiring.
A clean unused card from 2016, still waiting for the meter it was built for. Plug it in, set your thresholds, and let it do the switching work your process has needed.
