Proper installation is crucial for the accurate and reliable operation of the MBS 3000 pressure transmitter.
4.1. Mechanical Installation (Pressure Connection)
The MBS 3000 features a G 1/4" pressure connection.
- Ensure the pressure port and mating connection are clean and free from debris.
- Apply appropriate thread sealant if necessary, according to system requirements.
- Carefully screw the transmitter into the pressure port. Do not overtighten. Refer to the system's torque specifications.
- Ensure the transmitter is securely mounted to prevent vibration-induced damage.

Figure 3: Detail of the G 1/4" pressure connection.
4.2. Electrical Installation (DIN Plug)
The electrical connection is made via a standard DIN plug.
- Disconnect power to the circuit before making any electrical connections.
- Wire the DIN plug according to the wiring diagram provided with your specific model or system documentation. The standard output signal is 4-20 mA.
- Ensure correct polarity for power supply and signal lines.
- Securely attach the DIN plug to the transmitter's electrical connector.
- Verify all connections are tight and properly insulated to maintain the IP65 enclosure rating.
