LX8/G2-R is built with a 20 pin IDC header signal connector
with J20R or J20C mates. The switch module is available with
Type S Standard, M Mercury or LT Low Thermal reed relays.
LX8/G2-E has a card edge connector with J20 mates and is
recommended for higher voltages when using Type M Mercury
or Type HV High Voltage reed relays.

This chassis is 15.6" deep. It is built with power supplies and
motherboards that hold a Control Module, up to 16 LX8 Switch
Modules and 16 CL8 Latching/Display Modules. The Signal
Motherboard busses the switch modules together (shown in
Fig. 1) to furnish a number of different Matrix configurations.

These chassis are 15.6" deep and hold the same motherboards
as the Mainframe but without power supplies or a Control Mod-
ule. Each Expansion Chassis is powered and controlled via a
MESA Control Mainframe as shown in the MESA Bulletin.
Mainframes and Expansion Units can be supplied in 15.6"
deep chassis with signal inputs and outputs wired to user
specified connectors on the rear panel.

These Switch Modules plug into the LXA Motherboard and have signal connectors that are accessed
from the chassis rear. The CL8 Latching/Display Modules mate with and drive the relays on the Switch
Modules and have LEDs that are visible through the chassis front panel. The following modules can be
assembled in any LXA chassis.

The LXA Series are 19" rack mounting Mainframes or Expansion Chassis, 3.5" high, with motherboards
that hold any of the LX Series of Switch Modules, Latching/Display Modules and a Control Module.
These modules have 8 individual Form A (SPST) single
pole relays. The two sides of the relays wire out to the
signal connector located at the chassis rear as shown in
Fig. 2.
Each module has 8, two pole relays. One side of each
relay wires to the module's rear panel connector, and
the other side wires to a card edge connector which
plugs into the Signal Motherboard. The motherboard
busses together the Switch Modules and a Signal I/O
Module as shown in Fig. 1. Energizing a relay connects
the path between the Switch Module and the Signal I/O.
These modules have 8 individual optoisolated Solid State Out-
put Drivers with 16 Pin Screw Terminal connectors. Mating
connectors are included in the price of these modules.
LX8/OD-TTL Outputs TTL level signals of 100 mA at 5 VDC.
LX8/OD-MP is a medium power driver with up to 1 amp drive
at 24 VDC.
LX8/OD-HP is a high power driver outputting 1 amp at 48 VDC.

This module is used to detect voltage levels in either DC or AC
circuits. The module supplies eight separate, optoisolated
two wire inputs and has 20 pin header connectors with J20R
or J20C mates. This module does not require a CL8 Display
Module as it has its own LEDs that show Input States (e.g.
detected signals above threshold level).
Three LX8/K Modules are offered:
The LX8/K-E is built with a 20 pin card edge connector with
J20 mates. It is available with Type S, HV or M reed relays.
The LX8/K-R has an IDC header connector and is available
with Type S, M or A relays.
The LX8/KP is built with screw terminal connectors and Type
P relays that are capable of switching high power and current.
Mating connectors are included in the price of this module.

Switch Module and Signal I/O Module connectors can be wired
to furnish the following different configurations:
A - Each module is a 1x8 and 16 modules create a 16x8 matrix.
B - Each module is a 2x4 and 16 modules create a 32x4 matrix.
C - Each module is a 4x2 and 16 modules create a 64x2 matrix.
D - Each module is an 8x1 and 16 modules create a 128x1 mux.

This module is built with 8, Type P Power relays and Screw
Terminal signal connectors. It differs from the other LX8/G
Switch Modules in that single pole, high power switching is
provided. This module can also be used as an individual 8x1
multiplexer. Two pole relay versions of this module are avail-
able.
