Operation and Programming Manual
Quick Guide
As with any precision-engineered device, always operate the MX 9000 in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Connect to Sensor
You will connect three wires from the sensor(s) to the back of the MX 9000:
An electrical power wire
a signal wire, and
a ground wire
Dual input models use two sensors (terminals for sensor 2).
Insert the stripped end of the red wire into lower terminal #3 (6) and use a screwdriver to secure. Insert
the stripped end of the white wire into lower terminal #4 (7) and the stripped end of the black wire into
lower terminal #5 (8). Use a screwdriver (push / release) to secure these wires with the spring terminals.
Connect to Power
Insert the leads from the 120VAC adaptor into terminals 1 & 2 of the lower block. Plug the adaptor into
a wall receptacle. If you are supplying power from a DC source, insert the positive lead into terminal #1
and the negative lead to terminal #2. DC input should be from 18 to 24 volts.
Basic Key Definitions
The MX 9000 has four keys for data input and programming:
DOWN / NO
UP / YES
SELECT / RESET
ENTER / EXIT
Use the SELECT key to move the cursor to the digit you would like to change or reset the total values,
use the UP and DOWN keys to change between screens or increase or decrease the value as desired,
and use the ENTER key to enter the information.
Programming and Data Entry
Upon power up, move to the screen that you wish to adjust. Hold the ENTER key in for 3 seconds and
screen will change to programming mode. Follow screen prompts.
When in programming mode, numerical values are underlined or you are prompted to answer YES or
NO. Use the SELECT key to move between characters then the DOWN / UP keys to change. Press
ENTER to store the value. Use YES / NO to enter other setup functions and EXIT when completed. See
Programming the MX 9000 beginning on page 21 for complete details.

Product Description
The MX 9000 Flow Monitor is a versatile, multi-functional device that helps you track rate, flow, limit,
ratio, and other variables. The unit’s multicolor back-lighted LCD display is easy-to-read with up to 22
different display modes available, depending on model. The standard unit is one channel, but the
optional two-channel version allows you to monitor dual flows and display them in a number of ways:
separately, as a sum (for example in total material use), as a difference (as in fuel consumption), or as a
ratio of product A/product B. You can also use the MX 9000 to detect bi-directional flow when A and B
channel signals are available from a single flow meter. Other capabilities include the capacity to monitor
data and program the unit remotely. Four model variations give the MX 9000 the capability of
performing limit, warning and alarm duties and batching.
Principle of Operation
After first making connections to the power source and to flow transmitter input and output, you can
choose up to 22 display modes. These include rates, totals, ratios, limits and others, based on the model
purchased. Then input k- factor values, the required engineering units, gate times, limits, etc. A 20 point
linearizer is built-in for added display accuracy. You may also program other values such as
warning/alarm limits and ratios, depending on model.

Sensor / Pulse Inputs
Pulse inputs are opto isolated and come referenced to signal ground. Regulated +15 VDC at 50mA max
is available for powering each sensor. Inputs can also be isolated from the control power by cutting CT1
or CT2 with a sharp knife but then the internal +15 VDC supply is not available. Minimum input voltage
is 5 VDC peak for pulses.
Figure 2: Sensor / Pulse Inputs
Reset Input
Opto-isolated external reset input will trigger the MX 9000 to reset the totalizer(s) when the input sees a
momentary transition from low (ground) to high (near supply). Reset input can be isolated from internal
ground by cutting CT3 with a sharp knife.

Analog Output(s)
The isolated 16-bit 4-20mA output(s) can be wired for use with Loop powered inputs or for ground
referenced inputs. The analog signal has an internal LED in series which varies in intensity as the mA
signal varies. This can be used for troubleshooting purposes. When using the analog signal with inputs
used with loop powered signals, it is important to note that the MX 9000 requires an external power
supply to power the loop as shown below.
Figure 4: Analog Outputs
Frequency Output (option boards 1 and 2)
An opto-isolated NPN open-collector output can sink or source depending on connection. Attention
must be paid to polarity of connections. Limit circuit current to 50 mA and 30 VDC for this circuit.

Relay Outputs
Two form C relay outputs are available on option boards 1 and 2. They are programmed by the limit
screens as to the function of each. See Relay Contact Ratings on page 10 for limits.
Figure 6: Relay Outputs
Analog Input (option board 1)
The analog input is available on option board 1. It can be configured for either a 4-20 mA input or a 0-5
or 0-10 VDC input. The input is referenced to the system common. Programming of the input is done
using JP1. For 4-20 mA, use jumper pins 1&3 and 2&4. For 0-5 VDC, use jumper pins 3&5 and 4&6. For
0-10 VDC, use jumper pins 3&5 only. Pins are identified on the printed circuit board. Remove back
cover to access.

120/240 VAC Input (option board 2)
The line voltage input is available on option board 2. It can be configured for 120 or 240 volt input using
jumper pins 1. For 120 volt input jumper both sets of outside pins (see decal on board). For 240 volt
input jumper only the center two pins (see decal). NOTE – board is factory set for 120 volt input.
Figure 8: 120/240 VAC Input
Batch Controller Inputs (option board 3)
Five inputs are available for remote control of the batch process. You must have ordered the batch
model to access these inputs (MX9-B). A 15 VDC output is provided as a supply for the inputs. Program
/ Run uses a maintained contact (switch), and the other inputs require momentary signals.
