Temperature sensor
Type MBT 3252
Heavy-duty industrial application temperature sensor.
Heavy-duty temperature sensor for controlling
cooling water, lubrication oil, hydraulic oil and
refrigeration plants within general industry.
This temperature sensor is based on a
standardised Pt 100 element, which gives a
reliable and accurate measurement.
The changeable measuring insert is equipped
with a silicone cable, which makes the sensor
very resistant towards vibrations.
The MBT 3252 is equipped with a B-head as
standard.
If needed, a transmitter (MBT 9110) can be
ordered as an integrated part of the MBT 3252
sensor.
Features:
• Gaseous or liquid media, e.g. air, gas, vapour,
water or oil
• Resistance or 4 – 20 mA signal
• Up to 200 °C media temperature
• Pt sensing element with silicone cable
• Can be used with 2 or 3 wire connections
• Interchangeable measuring insert
• Available with built-in transmitter
• Also available in a marine version as MBT
