Temperature sensor
Type MBT 5550
With the MBT 5550 we have combined our
temperature transmitter with a detachable
thermowell MBT 120 enabling replacement of
the transmitter while the application is in
operation.
The MBT 5550 is designed for use in harsh
environments where reliable, robust, and
accurate equipment is required.
Features
• Designed for use in harsh marine & industrial
environments where reliable, robust, and
accurate equipment is required
• All metal enclosure parts made of stainless
steel (AISI316)
• Output signals: 4 – 20 mA or Ratiometric 10 –
90%
• A wide selection of process and electrical
connections are available
• Compact design
• Measuring range -15 to 200 °C
• Based on Pt 1000 sensor technology
