Technical Specifications

FAQs

Is the MBS 3000 compatible with corrosive industrial media?

The MBS 3000 is designed for standard industrial fluids. For highly aggressive or corrosive chemicals, verify the wetted parts material compatibility against the Danfoss technical documentation. If your media is highly reactive, a diaphragm seal or alternative transmitter material may be required.

Can this transmitter be used in high-vibration applications?

Yes, the MBS 3000 is specifically designed for high-vibration environments. However, ensure that the pressure connection is tightened to the specified torque and that the cable is properly supported to prevent fatigue at the electrical connector interface.

How often should the transmitter be calibrated?

While the MBS 3000 is characterized by high long-term stability, it is recommended to verify the zero point and span during annual maintenance cycles in critical process applications to ensure measurement accuracy.

Engineering Guidelines and Best Practices

• Installation Positioning: For liquid applications, mount the transmitter with the pressure connection pointing downward to prevent sediment accumulation. If monitoring steam or high-temperature gases, use a cooling coil or a capillary tube to ensure the transmitter operates within its specified temperature limits.
• Electrical Connections: Use shielded cables for the analog signal output to prevent interference from adjacent power lines or VFDs. Terminate the shield at the control panel ground to ensure optimal signal integrity.
• System Startup: Before putting the system into full operation, slowly pressurize the line to prevent "water hammer" effects. Sudden pressure spikes can exceed the burst pressure rating of the sensor and lead to permanent damage.
