Pressure transmitter for general industrial purposes

MBS 3000 and MBS 3050

The compact pressure transmitter,

type MBS 3000, is designed for use in industrial
and hydraulic applications, and offers a reliable
pressure measurement, even under harsh
environmental conditions.
The compact heavy duty pressure transmitter
MBS 3050 with integrated pulse-snubber is
designed for use in hydraulic applications with
severe medium influences like cavitation, liquid
hammer or pressure peaks and offers a reliable
pressure measurement, even under harsh
environmental conditions.
The flexible pressure transmitter programme
covers different output signals, absolute or
gauge (relative) versions, measuring ranges
from 0 – 1 to 0 – 600 bar. A wide range of pressure
and electrical connections are available.
Excellent vibration stability, robust construction,
and a high degree of EMC/EMI protection equip
the pressure transmitter to meet the most
stringent industrial requirements.

Features • Designed for use in severe industrial • All standard output signals:
and hydraulic environments 4 – 20 mA, 0 – 5 V, 1 – 5 V, 1 – 6 V, 0 – 10 V,
• Resistant to cavitation, liquid hammer 1 – 10 V, Ratiometric output signal: 10-90% of
and pressure peaks (MBS 3050) supply voltage
• Enslosure and wetted parts of acid-resistant • A wide range of pressure and electrical
stainless steel (AISI 316L) connections
• Pressure ranges in relative (gauge) • Fully digitally compensated
or absolute from 0 up to 600 bar • For use in ATEX zone 2 explosive atmospheres
