3.3 2x16 Remote LCD Keypad
Like the standard keypad, the remote LCD keypad has the same basic functions with enhancements that allow using plain text instead
of codes and a menu structure instead of a straight line of parameters.
Additional keys have been added, such as “start”, “stop”, and a “left arrow” for moving the cursor around in the LCD display. Status
indicators have been added, providing additional information for the starter operation.
The remote keypad and display are connected to the MX control card via a 1 or 2 meter (3 or 6ft) cable. The remote keypad is
NEMA 1, 12, and 3R when mounted directly on a panel or the door of an enclosure with the correct gasket. If the bezel and keypad
are used, a NEMA 4 rating can be obtained. A keypad kit may be ordered from Benshaw if the starter was not originally ordered
with one. Part numbers are MX-1M-RKP-00 (includes a 1 meter cable) and MX-2M-RKP-00 (includes a 2 meter cable). Refer to
the hardware manual for mounting instructions.
