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.

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.

CAUTION: The MPAX main circuit board and the option cards
contain static sensitive components. Before handling the module
or the cards, discharge static charges from your body by
touching a grounded bare metal object. Handle the module by
the rear plastic cover only, and the option cards by the board
edges. Dirt, oil or other contaminants that contact the circuit
boards or components can adversely affect circuit operation.
Prior to installing the LPAX Display, it is recommended that the MPAX and
any option cards be assembled first. This will allow you the opportunity to
insure all the boards are fitted properly into their connectors.
Installing the Option Cards
If your application requires option cards, they
should be installed into the MPAX before it is
installed into the LPAX Display. Refer to
the literature enclosed with the option
cards for installation instruction.
Installing the MPAX
To install the MPAX Module, align
the module with the opening in the
LPAX case, as illustrated. The module
must be oriented as shown, with
terminal #1 toward the top of the

in the LPAX case.
NOTE: All module and option card labels must be installed as
shown for safety purposes.
Installing the Labels
Each option card and the MPAX are shipped with a connection label. These
labels must be applied to the rear of the LPAX in the positions shown in the
drawing.
Removing The MPAX Module
To remove the MPAX Module from the LPAX Display, first
remove all power and load circuits. Then insert a flat
screwdriver blade (3/16" or 1/4") into the narrow slot between
the LPAX rear cover plate and the module’s plastic cover
as illustrated in Figure 2. Twist the screwdriver in
the direction shown to disengage the internal
connectors while firmly squeezing and
pulling back on the rear finger tabs
(top and bottom). Carefully

LPAX DISPLAY INSTALLATION
The LPAX display is intended to be mounted into a panel or enclosure. The display is
provided with a gasket to provide a water-tight seal. The recommended minimum panel
thickness for NEMA 4/IP65 sealing is 0.060" (1.57 mm).
For panel mounting, prepare the panel cut-out to the dimensions
shown. The supplied template may be used to mark the cut-out
and hole locations on the panel. After the panel cut-out has been
deburred, slide the panel gasket over the rear of the display and
onto the mounting studs. Insert the display into the panel
cut-out as illustrated in Figure 3. Install six # 10-32 keps
nuts (supplied) and tighten evenly for uniform gasket
compression. Do not over-tighten the nuts.
By using additional mounting accessories, the LPAX
can be surface-wall mounted, suspended, or bottom mounted.
Separate installation instructions are provided with the
mounting accessories.
Environment And Cleaning
The display should be installed in a location that does not
exceed the maximum operating temperature and provides good
air circulation. Placing the system near devices that generate
excessive heat should be avoided.
The bezel should be cleaned only with a soft cloth and neutral
soap product. Do NOT use solvents. Continuous exposure to
direct sunlight may accelerate the aging process of the bezel.
