Crimson® software is a Windows® based program that allows configuration

of the PAX® meter from a PC. Crimson offers standard drop-down menu

commands, that make it easy to program the controller. The unit’s program can

then be saved in a PC file for future use.

Using This manUal

This manual contains installation and programming instructions for the PAX

and all applicable option cards. To make installing the option card easier, it is

recommended to use the Installation Guide provided with the card.

Only the portions of this manual that apply to the application need to be read.

Minimally, we recommend that General Specifications, Reviewing the Front

Buttons and Display, and Crimson® Programming Software portions of this

manual be read in their entirety.

We recommend that unit programming be performed using Crimson

programming software. When using Crimson, the programming portion of this

manual serves as an overview of the programming options that are available

through Crimson. The programming section of the manual will serve to provide

expanded explanations of some of the PAX programming features found in

Crimson. For users who do not intend to use Crimson to program their unit, this

manual includes information to provide for a user to program one, or all, of the

programming parameters using the unit’s keypad.

To find information regarding a specific topic or mnemonic, it is recommended

that the manual be viewed on a computer and the “find” function be used. The

alternate method of finding information is to identify the programming

parameter involved and review the information contained in the section of the

manual that pertains to that parameter.
