GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The LPAX Display 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 rate, count, or time, the LPAX can satisfy
your requirement. These LPAX displays accept various digital 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 LPAX 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.
CAUTION: Risk of Danger.
Read complete instructions prior to
installation and operation of the unit.
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock.
SPECIFICATIONS
Additional specifications, wiring, programming, and information for the
individual MPAX models are contained in the corresponding standard PAX

About the MPAX Input Modules
The MPAX Module serves as the input to the LPAX Display. There are several different modules to cover a variety of inputs. The MPAX module provides input
scaling which allows the LPAX to display most any engineering unit. Once the MPAX is inserted into the LPAX, the unit has the same functions and capabilities of
our PAX Series Intelligent Panel Meters. A full set of PAX programming instructions will be included with the MPAX module.
Note: The MPAX provides the operating power for the LPAX, therefore you must select either the AC or DC MPAX corresponding with your application and available
power.
Selecting Your Display Components and Option Cards
To build a complete display unit, you will need an LPAX and an MPAX Input Module. The LPAX is only a display and will not operate without an MPAX module.
Please use the following chart to identify the appropriate MPAX module (including supply power) and LPAX Display that will satisfy your application.

OPTIONAL PLUG-IN CARDS AND ACCESSORIES
WARNING: Disconnect all power to the unit before
installing Plug-in cards.
Adding Option Cards
The MPAX series meters can be fitted with up to three optional plug-in cards.
However, only one card from each function type can be installed at a time. The
function types include Setpoint Alarms (PAXCDS), Communications
(PAXCDC), and Analog Output (PAXCDL). The cards can be installed initially
or at a later date. Each optional plug-in card is shipped with installation and
programming instructions.
COMMUNICATION CARDS (PAXCDC)
A variety of communication protocols are available for the PAX and MPAX
series. Only one of these cards can be installed at a time. When programming
the unit via Crimson (for MPAXI) or SFPAX (for MPAXCK or MPAXTM), the
RS232 or RS485 Cards must be used.

PAXCDC1C - RS485 Serial (Connector) PAXCDC40 - Modbus (Terminal)
PAXCDC20 - RS232 Serial (Terminal) PAXCDC4C - Modbus (Connector)
PAXCDC2C - RS232 Serial (Connector) PAXCDC50 - Profibus-DP
SETPOINT CARDS (PAXCDS)
The MPAX series has four setpoint alarm output plug-in cards. Only one of
these cards can be installed at a time. (Logic state of the outputs can be reversed
in the programming.) These plug-in cards include:
Dual relay, FORM-C, Normally open & closed
Quad relay, FORM-A, Normally open only
Isolated quad sinking NPN open collector
Isolated quad sourcing PNP open collector

LINEAR DC OUTPUT (PAXCDL)
Either a 0(4)-20 mA or 0-10 V retransmitted linear DC output is available
from the analog output plug-in card. The programmable output low and high
scaling can be based on the input, max, min, or total display value. Reverse
slope output is possible by reversing the scaling point positions.

PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
CRIMSON - MPAXI Only
Crimson is a Windows® based program that allows configuration of the
LPAX meter from a PC. Crimson offers standard drop-down menu commands,
that make it easy to program the LPAX meter. The LPAX program can then be
saved in a PC file for future use. A PAX serial plug-in card is required to
program the meter using the software.
SFPAX - MPAXCK and MPAXTM Only
The SFPAX is a Windows® based program that allows configuration of the
LPAX meter from a PC. Using the SFPAX makes it easier to program the LPAX
meter and allows saving the PAX program in a PC file for future use. On-line
help is available within the software. A PAX serial plug-in card is required to
program the meter using the software.
