Ram Meter Inc. offers a complete selection of digital panel meter displays to suit most applications. These meters can read and display various types of inputs such as ac and dc current, ac and dc voltage, strain gauges and process signals. Our digital panel meters are also available with LCD or LED displays and can be powered by either acv or dcv power supplies. CONTACT US today and we will find a digital panel meter to suit your needs.

The PAX2A is packed full of features that set it apart from other panel meters. The input, total, min., max. or setpoint value can be displayed on the 0.7″ high 6-digit main LCD display. The main display also offers three programmable, easy-to-read colors: red, orange and green. The color change can be tied to the setpoints, providing the operator with a visual display of changing conditions in the application. A second display line is a 0.35″ high, green LCD that can be programmed for any of the above parameters as well. This 9-digit display accommodates totalizing applications that easily exceed the normal 6-digit displays. In addition to the dual displays, the meter also includes a 3-character programmable unit indicator.

Beyond the display, the PAX2A provides the maximum in configuration flexibility, allowing users to stock just one meter for numerous applications. Featuring universal input, the same meter accepts DC current, DC voltage, process signal, plus thermocouple and RTD temperature sensor inputs. The PAX2A also has a wide range AC/DC power input.

With its dual display and versatile functionality, the PAX2A delivers an ideal solution for applications that require two parameters to be visualized at the same time (e.g. present temperature and setpoint value or flow rate and total gallons).

The Crimson 2 setup software allows quick and easy configuration of the meter from any PC, using the supplied USB cable. Free download on the Red Lion website

Digital meters are typically described as having “half digit” capability. A full digit is a display segment that can render all the numbers from 0-9, that is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

A half digit can display only the number 1. The half digit is always the first digit shown. Because the half digit is basically only a “1” it has limited possible use.

The decimal point is just a “dot” segment that is manually displayed after the appropriate number segment to show the proper complete number desired. A dot can be displayed after any desired number, typically via a jumper setting. If the jumper is not installed, no dots at all will be displayed.

A 3.5 digit display is actually four segments, one half digit and 3 full digits. Displaying maximum capability it would read 1999. If we wanted to display 30kV on a 3.5 digit meter we would have to “throw out” the leading half digit as we can’t make use of it because it’s only a “1”. We are limited to using the three full digits, so the display would be 300. The decimal point is manually placed via a jumper, so the final display would be 30.0 and the “kV” term would be screened on the front panel overlay.

If we wanted to display 10kV on a 3.5 digit meter we can make use of the leading half digit. In this case we would have four digits of resolution with the meter displaying 1000. Placing the decimal point properly, the final meter reading would be 10.00 with the “kV” term screened on the front panel overlay.

If the DPM4 option is ordered, the standard 3.5 digit meters are upgraded with 4.5 digit meters. A 4.5 digit display is actually five segments, one half digit and 4 full digits. Displaying maximum capability it would read 19999.

Using the examples above, if we wanted to display 30kV on a 4.5 digit meter we would have to “throw out” the leading half digit as we can’t make use of it because it’s only a “1”. We are limited to using the four full digits so the display would be 3000. The decimal point is manually placed via a jumper, so the final display would be 30.00 and the “kV” term would be screened on the front panel overlay.

If we wanted to display 10kV on a 4.5 digit meter we can make use of the leading half digit. In this case we would have five digits of resolution with the meter displaying 10000. Placing the decimal point properly the final meter reading would be 10.000 with the “kV” term screened on the front panel overlay.

Due to the 2Vdc maximum input requirement of the digital meter used, there’s a unique situation that occurs for, let’s say, a 20kV unit. You could take the 10Vdc full scale signal and divide it down to 200mV and you would get…20.0kV a maximum of 3 digits of resolution. But there’s a way to "sneak" another digit of resolution out of a 20kV unit.

If you divide the 10Vdc full scale voltage monitor signal down to 2Vdc then for the vast majority of the display range you will get four digits of resolution or 19.99kV as a maximum display. The only drawback is when the unit is programmed to over 19.99kV the meter will “overscale” and display the leading "1" digit but all the following digits will be blank. There is nothing wrong with this condition; it is just what happens when more than a 2Vdc signal is inputted into the front panel digital meter.
