DESCRIPTION 
The MP-2000 is a dual channel, microprocessor based readout and set-point controller designed for industrial and process 
control  applications  utilizing  any  LVDT/RVDT-based  measurement  device.  In  addition  to  displaying  real-time  readings  of 
LVDTs, RVDTs and gage heads, the MP2000 is also capable of displaying values such as MIN, MAX, TIR (Total Indicated 
Run-out),  A+B  (sum  of  two  channels)  and  A-B  (difference  between  two  channels).  A  17-bit  analog-to-digital  converter 
provides excellent performance and resolution, while a standard 9- pin RS-232 communications interface provides serial 
data output to a PLC or PC COM port. 
The  MP-2000  features  four  user-programmable,  opto-isolated,  open-collector  set-point  outputs,  which  can  be  used  to 
monitor any display parameter. Any combination of high or low set-points may be selected, while programmable high and 
low hysteresis values may be used to create set-point dead band for prevention of control relay chatter. For the control of 
external  relays,  an  optional  Relay  Board  with  a  current  handling  capability  of  5A  per  relay  is  available  and  highly 
recommended. 
A front panel pushbutton permits auto-zeroing (tare) over the full range. Auto-calibration eliminates calculation of slope or 
gain  factors.  All  calibration  and  setup  parameters  are  stored  in  nonvolatile  memory  for  retention  on  power  down  or 
interruption. The zero and min/max reset functions can be hard wired for remote control. The large, easy to read, bit-mapped 
display provides user-friendly, menu driven prompts for simple push-button system setup, calibration, and monitoring of in-
process measurement parameters. A real-time scaled analog output, proportional to the digital readout is provided for each 
LVDT channel. An RS-232 output is provided for data transfer to a computer at 1200 to 19.2K baud.
