Pressure transmitter
Type MBS 33M

For high accuracy marine applications

The high accuracy transmitter MBS 33M is

designed for use in almost all marine
applications, and offers a reliable pressure
measurement, even under harsh environmental
conditions.

The flexible pressure transmitter programme

covers a 4 – 20 mA output signal, absolute or
gauge (relative) versions, measuring ranges
from 0 – 1 to 0 – 600 bar. A wide range of
pressure and electrical connections.

Excellent vibration stability, robust

construction, and a high degree of EMC / EMI
protection equip the pressure transmitter to
meet the most stringent marine requirements.

Features
• Designed for use in severe maritime
environments
• All relevant marine approvals
• Enclosure and wetted parts of acid-resistant
stainless steel (AISI 316L)
• Pressure ranges in relative (gauge) or
absolute from 0 up to 600 bar
• Standard output signal: 4 – 20 mA
• A wide range of pressure connections
• Fully digitally compensated
• For use in ATEX Zone 2 explosive
atmospheres
• UL approved
