Transducer
The transducer is a pressure sensitive silicon micro strain gauge sensor mounted in a glass to metal
seal. The sensor is protected by an isolation diaphragm, welded to the transducer housing, with an oil
filling between the sensor and the diaphragm. Pressure changes on the front of the diaphragm will
bring a resistance change in the Wheatstone bridge of the transducer. This change in the Wheat-
stone bridge will be transmitted to the amplifier as a change in the electrical signal.
The transducer is fully welded, housed in titanium with a titanium diaphragm.
All transducer types are submersible (IP68).
The transducer is available in two versions:
• Gauge version
• Absolute version
As optional the transducer is available with a built-in Pt100 temperature sensor.
Cable
The cable is available as a standard version and as a high temperature version.
Amplifier
The amplifier is available in the following options:
• Programmable version: Calibration is made by dip switches and potentiometers
• Differential version: For measuring of both pressure and vacuum
The amplifier is housed in a sea water resistant polyester casing (IP56).
Application
The MAS 2600 has been developed for level measuring in ballast, oil, service and fresh water tanks as
well as tanks containing media which are not hostile to titanium.

MAS 2600 -XXX-XX-X/XX
Type
A Absolute Trans- The absolute transducer has no breather pipe, because it refers to
ducer absolute vacuum. An atmospheric pressure sensor is used to compen-
sate for the atmospheric pressure. The absolute transducer is espe-
cially suitable for open deck applications, where the amplifier box may
be exposed to flooding.
G Gauge Transducer The gauge transducer is fitted with a breather pipe at the back of the
diaphragm to compensate for the atmospheric pressure. The breather
pipe is connected to a vent plug in the amplifier box. The gauge trans-
ducer is suitable for most applications.
H High Temperature The transducer is mounted with a special high temperature cable and
Gauge Transducer designed for heated tanks e.g. HFO tanks, and other applications with
high tank media temperatures.
Absolute Transducers
The Absolute Transmitter is typically used if the amplifier is exposed to water, e.g. on open deck.
The Absolute Transmitter is available in 2 ranges: 0 - 20 and 0 - 35 mH2O. In practice this means
10 mH2O less than the nominal range because of the atmospheric pressure which must be taken into
consideration when choosing the transducer.
A transducer with an effective range larger than the tank height should be selected.

Tankheight
To ensure measuring accuracy a transducer type within the range no. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 is recom-
mended.
Guidelines for selection of transducer measuring ranges are set out in the following.
Basic Rules
1. The selected measuring range must be larger than the tank height.
2. The selected measuring range must be larger than: (tank height + vent pipe height) / 2
Example:
Tank height = 6 m
Vent pipe height = 14 m
1. The selected measuring range must be larger than 6 m due to the height of the tank.
2. The selected measuring range must be larger than (6 + 14) / 2 = 10 m due to the total height of
the tank and the vent pipe combined.
Select a transducer with a measuring range of 16 mH2O as this is the next measuring range larger
than 10 m.
Turn the range select switch on the amplifier to range No. 7.
Normally the selection of transducer, range select and calibration are done by Marine Tank Manage-
ment.
Special consideration applies to e.g. forepeak tanks and draft measuring when selecting the measur-
ing range of the transducer.
If the transducer is installed in tanks which may have excessive dynamic stresses such as e.g. high
pump pressure, long bottomed tanks with a risk of sloshing etc., contact Marine Tank Management.
13
Reference Manual MAS2600: Ordering Information
Ed 22 January 2017
Forepeak Tank
If transducer measuring range > tank height: Select the next measuring range.
Example:
Tank height 12 m.
Based on the tank height a transducer with a measuring range of 16 mH2O should be selected.
However, due to the dynamic conditions in the forepeak tank, a transducer with a measuring range
of 35 mH2O, i.e. the next in line, should be selected.
Turn amplifier range select switch to range No. 6.

air release valve depending on ship type and environment, always consult Marine Tank Management
for proper installation guidance.

• NEVER lift by the cable if transducer is mounted with fittings.
• NEVER remove the protection cap in front of the diaphragm before installation.
• NEVER knock the transducer.
• NEVER apply pressure to the diaphragm in any way whatsoever, whether using fingers, tools or
sharp objects.
• NEVER use sharp objects when cleaning the diaphragm.
• NEVER submerge the cable so that the breather tube is under water.
• NEVER bend the cable in a radius of less than 90 mm.

Installation
As part of the installation please check that:
• the serial numbers on the transducer, amplifier and lid of amplifier box complies. The serial num-
bers are found on the S/N on the amplifier box at the bottom line and on the transducer S/N on
the range label.
• the transducer is fitted in the correct tank.
• the transducer is correctly connected to the amplifier.
• all cable glands are properly secured to the amplifier box. Use torque of 6 Nm.
• the amplifier box is mounted in such a way that the breather tube cannot be flooded.
• the cable is fastened with cable clips with a distance of max. 50 cm.
• the cable isolation is not damaged (cracks, weld spatter, burns etc.).
• shut-off valves can be either ball valves or other valves not generating over pressure exceeding 4
x the transducer range between valve seat and transducer when the valve is closed.
Note! The white and brown wires in the transducer cable are only used when a Pt100 sensor is
built into the transducer.
As for flange mounted applications it is recommended that a ball valve is fitted in the front of the
transducer to facilitate testing and calibration of the transmitter.
The power cable / 4 - 20 mA signal cable shall be a cable with solid insulation; the minimum wire insu-
lation must be 0.25 mm for each wire. Using a shielded cable for the 4-20 mA signal, the shield shall
be connected at the earth terminal of the I/O system (e.g. simple gauge or tank monitoring system)
and not in the amplifier box. Using a shielded cable ensures maximum protection against electrical
noise.
If the amplifier box is installed in an area with over pressure or negative pressure in relation to the
atmospheric pressure in the tank, the breather tube must be directed to an area with atmospheric
pressure equal to the pressure inside the tank. This applies to gauge transmitters only. For absolute
transmitters this has no affect, due to the reference to absolute vacuum and not atmospheric pres-
sure. This is also the reason why no breather tube is necessary.

Testing
Caution! Please observe that testing and recalibration of transmitters mounted in hazardous
areas shall be carried out by Ex qualified personnel.
Before dispatch, the MAS2600 transmitter is calibrated in accordance with the requirements speci-
fied in the order.
The transducer and the amplifier are calibrated together and must, therefore, always be used
together.
A programmable measuring range transmitter will in conditions of no pressure (empty tank) give an
output signal of 4 mA, and in conditions of maximum pressure an output signal of 20 mA.
The transmitter should be tested by applying to the transducer a known pressure from a calibrator
and reading the equivalent milliamp signal on a milliamp meter.
The above-mentioned applies to the gauge transmitter only. For absolute transmitters the output
signal will be higher than 4 mA, because it is calibrated for 4 mA at 0.8 bar abs. The output signal will
typically be 5-7.5 mA in atmospheric pressure, depending on the transducer range and the actual
atmospheric pressure. Maximum output signal 20 mA, will be at the transducers absolute range.

MAS2600: Testing and Recalibration Reference Manual
January 2017 Ed 22
When recalibrating the MAS2600 Gauge Transmitter a pressure calibrator with a range of -1 to 3.5
bar should be used. It should have an accuracy of 0.05% FS or better, as well as a 4½ digit milliamp
meter.
1. Set the calibrator to pressure mode.
2. Connect the pressure calibrator to the transducer via MAS2600 Test Cup, type G022S100
(DPI610 and DPI603) or type G022S103 (DPI802P CAL KIT).
3. Check that the range select switch on the amplifier is correctly set.
4. In conditions of no pressure (atmospheric pressure) the output signal should be adjusted to 4.00
mA on the zero potentiometer.
5. Increase the pressure to maximum and adjust the output signal to 20.00 mA on the span poten-
tiometer.
6. Remove the pressure and check the zero point
7. Check the linearity at 0-25-50-75 and 100% of the measuring range.
8. If necessary, repeat the steps 4 to 7.

Note! If the calibrated maximum water gauge is greater than the maximum water gauge that
can be generated by the vacuum calibrator, the proportional mA output signal equal to
the maximum vacuum signal should be calculated.
Example:
If the full-scale of the transmitter is 15 mH2O, and the maximum capacity of the vacuum calibrator is
7.5 mH2O, the mA output signal at 7.5 mH2O is calculated as:
15 mH2O = 20 mA and 0 mH2O = 4 mA
7.5 mH2O = 4 + ((20 - 4) * 7.5) / 15 = 12 mA
The span potentiometer is adjusted so that the output signal shows 12 mA at 7.5 mH2O.

MAS2600: Testing and Recalibration Reference Manual

When recalibrating the MAS2600 Absolute Transmitter a pressure calibrator with a range of
-1 to 3.5 bar should be used. It should have an accuracy of 0.05% FS or better, as well as a 4½ digit
milliampmeter. If a calibrator without reference transmitter is used, the atmospheric pressure must
be known to calculate the correction.
Atmospheric pressure and Transducer range to be entered into the formulas as mbar.
1. The calibrator with the output selector switch set to pressure mode is connected to the
MAS2600 transmitter via MAS2600 Test Cup, type G022S100 (DPI610 and DPI603) or type
G022S103 (DPI802P CAL KIT).
2. Check the transducer range. The transducer range is indicated on the amplifier inside the box.
3. Calculate output signal in conditions of no pressure (atmospheric pressure), using below for-
mula. The output signal should be adjusted to the calculated value on the zero potentiometer.
mA at Atmospheric pressure = 4 + (16 * (Atm. press - 800) / (Trd. range - 800))
4. Calculate the pressure for maximum output signal, using the following formula.
mbarg at 20 mA = Trd. range - Atm. press
Increase the pressure to calculated pressure and adjust the output signal to 20.00 mA on the
span potentiometer.
5. Remove the pressure and check the zero point.
6. Check the linearity at 0-25-50-75 and 100% of the measuring range.
Output signal at different pressures P can be calculated, using the following formula.
mA at P mbarg = 4 + (16 * (Atm. press - 800 + P) / (Trd. range - 800))
7. If necessary, repeat the steps 3 to 6.
Example:
If the range of the transducer is 3.5 bar abs and the atmospheric pressure is 1005 mbar.
Calculated output at atmospheric pressure:
mA at Atm.press = 4 + (16 * (1005 - 800) / (3500 - 800)) = 5.215 mA
Calculated applied pressure for maximum output:
mbarg at 20 mA = 3500 - 1005 = 2495 mbarg
Calculated pressure at 50% of the transducer range:
mA at P mbarg = 4 + (16 * (1005 - 800 + 1750) / (3500 - 800)) = 15.585 mA
