MS12 Digital Pressure Switch / Transmitter

Application
Compact parameter driven pressure
switch / transmitter for positive and ne-
gative pressure control.

Construction and Operation

The MS12 processes the output signal
of the integrated pressure sensor digital-
ly. A versatile parameter driven micro
controller actuates on the display and
the switching outputs. Optionally it pro-
duces a new output signal. The signal
can be slewrate limited, spreaded, in-
verted, and transformed nonlinearly by
means of a table fuction.
The parameters may be entered directly
using the membrane sealed keypad or
using a PC connected with a serial inter-
face adaptor.

Main Features
• Large bright LED display
• Selectable pressure units
Functional Scheme • 2 independent limits with a choice of logic modes
• optional analogue signal output, with user-
• programmable scaling, linearization, inversion,
and offset adjustment
• User-defined look-up table for signal conversion,
with up to 30 points
DB_GB_MS12.fm

• Fully programmable from a PC, using the optional

Model EU03 PC Adaptor

Typical Applications
• Pressure switch / pressure display for unconveni-
ent accessible measuring places
3.7.08

• Level measurement
• Simplified pump control
• Monitoring of pumps and compressors

Materials, media contact 1.4305 chrome-nickel-steel, ceramics Al2 O3, Viton® (standard)
Mounting Pipe mounting: union nut MZ230V of 1.4404 (orientation adjustable)
Wall mounting: wall mount with manometer adaptor MZ310V
For further accessories see data sheet MZ (Accessories for measuring instruments)
If the instrument is intended for outdoor application, we highly recommend using an
adequate protective housing (or at least a big enough shelter) as protection against
UV-radiation on the membrane keyboard and against exposure of the instrument to
rain or snow.

Programming
Via membrane key-switches or by using PC-programming interface (accessory). Programming mode can be pass-
word protected.
Settings
Input filtering 0.0...100.0s (10/90% step response time) for signal output, display seperated
Relay / switch 1/2 Activation point, de-activation point, response time delay (0...100 secs), logic (N/O or N/C)
Measurement unit selection bar, kPa, „free unit“ start value, end value and decimal place for „free unit“
Output signal start/end value Can be set at any point of measuring range (2)
Zero suppression 0...100 counts (1)
Zero pressure calibration ±100 counts (3)
Output characteristic Linear, square rooted, horizontal cylindr. tank, table (3...30 entries)
Password range 001 … 999 (000 = password protection disabled)

(1) Measured value deviations up to 100 counts, symmetric about zero, are set to zero. Used for zero drift suppression.
(2) Maximum effective turn-down ratio = 4:1. Only the output signal is affected. Transfer function is inverted if start value > end value.
(3) Zero calibration setting may change with mounting orientation.
