Introduction Introduction The MXD75 is a microprocessor controlled multi-parameter instrument that can be installed with a user selected combination of up to 3 Sensor Input Cards. The instrument may be subsequently modified to meet changing requirements by the installation of additional, or different, cards and the attachment of the appropriate sensor(s).
Introduction MXD75 Instrument Specification Input Expansion Slots 3 slots, user configurable with any combination of available input add-in cards. Output Expansion Slots 1 slot, user configurable with an additional output option add-in card. Ambient Operating Temperature -20°C to +50°C (-4°F to +122°F) for full specification.

LOCAL WIRING AND SAFETY REGULATIONS SHOULD BE STRICTLY ADHERED TO WHEN INSTALLING THIS UNIT. SHOULD THESE REGULATIONS CONFLICT WITH THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS, CONTACT LTH ELECTRONICS OR AN AUTHORISED LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR FOR ADVICE. To maintain the specified levels of Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC, susceptibility to and emission of electrical noise, transients and radio frequency signals) it is essential that the types of cables recommended within these instructions be used.
Fit an in-line mains filter close to the power terminals of the instrument. In cases of very high background RF and HF noise environments, LTH can supply a length of proprietary RF suppressing mains cable. - 12 - MXD75 Installation Guide...
The MXD75 can be fitted with up to 3 sensor input cards and 1 output option card. The sensor input cards are designated Input Card 1, Input Card 2 and Input Card 3. On the instrument display these are designated Channel 1, Channel 2 and Channel 3.

N.B. the appearance of the label will vary depending upon which options are installed in the instrument. MXD75 basic terminal label The cables should be fed through the cable glands. After each cable has been attached, pull most of the cable slack back through the cable gland to prevent any unwanted RF energy from being radiated inside the housing.
Supply Voltage Connections The MXD75 can be powered from either an AC or DC supply voltage. The unit provides two terminals for each of the input connections (“Live” & “Neutral” for an AC input, or + & - for a DC Input), plus an “Earth”...
Connections Current Output Connections The MXD75 can be supplied with up to 6 current outputs designated A to F, which can terminate into a load resistance not exceeding 750. For best noise immunity use a screened twisted pair cable, with the screen connected to Earth at one end. Use a sufficiently large cable to avoid a high resistance in the overall current loop.
Connections Relay Connections The MXD75 can be supplied with up to 6 relays designated 1 to 6, 1 to 4 are change over relays while 5 to 6 are normally open relays. The relay contacts are connected to the terminals only and are electrically isolated from the instrument itself. They must be connected in series with a 5 Amp fuse.
Connections Digital Inputs The MXD75 features 8 digital inputs, which can be used to initiate a user configurable instrument operation by use of a volt free link, switch or relay. The instrument can be configured to initiate the appropriate action when the contact either closes or opens.
The MXD75 features a SD card interface which is compatible with SD, SDHC and SDXC formatted cards (N.B. SDXC cards may need formatting by the MXD75 before use – see user interface guide). The card can be removed whilst the instrument is on but only when the disk icon is not shown at the top of the display.
