Series MSX Magnesense® Differential Pressure Transmitter
Specications - Installation and Operating Instructions
The Series MSX Magnesense® Differential Pressure Transmitter combines the
stability and versatility of the original Series MS2 Magnesense
in building control applications. The MSX simplies the ordering process to deliver the
desired conguration, which reduces product setup time. Pressure ranges are available
in Pa, mm w.c., and in w.c. All pressure ranges can be congured in unidirectional or
bidirectional modes, providing a total of 32 ranges. The MSX transmitter can provide
a linear pressure output or a linear velocity output with the square root extraction from
the transmitter. Additional parameters have been included to expand the square root
capability to calculate ow. Dual voltage and milliamp output signals can be used to
provide both control and equipment output signal verication.
INSTALLATION
Surface Mounting:
Mount the transmitter on a vertical surface. The pressure sensor measurement
is unaffected by orientation, but it is recommended the unit be mounted with the
connections facing down to prevent moisture from entering either the pressure ports
or the electrical cable entry. Attach the mounting ange to a at surface using #8 x 1/2˝
pan head sheet metal screws. Do not over tighten.
Duct Mounting (Universal Model Required):
Mount the transmitter away from fans, corners, heating and cooling coils and other
equipment that will affect the measurement of the pressure.
1. To mount the transmitter, drill a .562˝ (12.70 mm) diameter hole into the duct.
2. Screw duct probe into back of housing. Insert transmitter probe into the duct.
3. Mark location of mounting holes on duct using mounting ange as template. Drill
holes.
4. Attach mounting ange to duct with #8 x 1/2˝ pan head sheet metal screws. Do
not over tighten screws.
5. Place the included cap on the exterior positive pressure port.
The Universal model can also be used as a standard wall mount transmitter. In this
mode, do not use the duct probe and plug the port on the backside of the transmitter
with the included plug.

The maximum receiver load resistance (R

Shielded 2-wire cable is recommended for control loop wiring. Ground the shield at the
power supply end only.
The receiver may be connected to either the negative or positive side of the loop,
whichever is most convenient. Should polarity of the transmitter or receiver be
inadvertently reversed, the loop will not function properly but no damage will be done
to the transmitter.
The maximum length of connecting wire between the transmitter and the receiver is
a function of wire size and receiver resistance. That portion of the total current loop
resistance represented by the resistance of the connecting wires themselves should
not exceed 10% of the receiver resistance. For extremely long runs (over 1,000 feet), it
is desirable to select receivers with lower resistances in order to keep the size and cost
of the connecting leads as low as possible. In installations where the connecting run
is no more than 100 feet, you can use a connecting lead wire as small as No. 22 ga.

The minimum receiver load is 1 kΩ. The resistance due to the wire should be low
compared to the receiver load resistance. While the voltage at the terminal block
remains unchanged with a 10 mA current ow, resistive losses in the wiring do cause
errors in the voltage delivered to the receiver. For a 1% accurate gage, the resistance
of the wires should be less than 0.1% of the value of the receiver load resistance. This
will keep the error caused by the current ow below 0.1%.
The output across VOUT and COM will be either 0-5 V, 0-10 V depending on the DIP
switch setting. See DIP Switch Settings Section for more information.

Simultaneous Current and Voltage Output
CAUTION
RESULT. SIMULTANEOUS OUTPUTS ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR AC VOLTAGE
OPERATION.
The terminal block is removable and each of the terminals is labeled underneath the
terminal block on the circuit board. Positive polarity is indicated by VOUT. The VDC
terminal and a DC power supply must be used for simultaneous current and voltage
output. The voltage output and the power supply must have separate wire leads that
are only joined at terminal 2 of the transmitter. Additional error may occur for the
voltage output if a single wire is used or if the wires are joined at the power supply or
receiver.
For the current output, the maximum allowable loop resistance (wiring + receiver
resistance) is dependent on the power supply. The maximum loop voltage drop must
not reduce the transmitter voltage below 17 V. The maximum loop resistance (R
for a given power supply voltage (V
The equation uses 17.0 instead of 10.0 as seen in the equation earlier with Figure
1. This represents the minimum voltage supply which is higher on the simultaneous
output conguration due to the requirements of the voltage outputs.
Shielded 4-wire cable is recommended for control loop wiring. Ground the shield
at the power supply end only. Should the polarity of the transmitter or receiver be
inadvertently reversed, the unit will not function properly, but no damage will be done
to the transmitter.
For voltage outputs, the minimum receiver load is 1 kΩ. The resistance due to the
wire should be low compared to the receiver load resistance. While the voltage at the
terminal block remains unchanged with a 10 mA current ow, resistive losses in the
wiring do cause errors in the voltage delivered to the receiver. For a 1% accurate gage,
the resistance of the wires should be less than 0.1% of the value of the receiver load

DIP Switch 3 - Pressure vs Velocity/Flow Mode of Operation
DIP Switch 3 toggles between pressure output vs velocity or ow output.
• When the switch is in the OFF or down position, the device is in Pressure Mode.
• When the switch is in the ON or up position, the device is in Velocity/Flow Mode.
DIP Switch 4 - Voltage Output Range
Voltage output range can be either 0-10 V or 0-5 V depending on the position of DIP
Switch 4.
• When the switch is in the OFF or down position, the output will be 0-10 V.
• When the switch is in the ON or up position, the output will be 0-5 V.
DIP Switch 5 - Unidirectional vs Bidirectional Output
DIP Switch 5 can be set to measure pressure in one direction (unidirectional) or in both
directions (bidirectional).
• When the switch is in the OFF or down direction, the transmitter will be set for uni directional and will be 0 based (i.e. 0 to 5 in w.c.).
• When the switch is in the ON or up position, the transmitter will be set for
bidirectional and will be ± the maximum of the selected range (i.e. ±5 in w.c.).
DIP Switch 6 - Response Time Selection
DIP Switch 6 toggles to select the desired response time.
• When the switch is in the OFF or down direction, the transmitter response time will
be instantaneous.
• When the switch is in the ON or up direction, the response time will be 3 seconds.
DIP Switches 7 and 8 - Maximum Range Selection (Pressure)

CALIBRATION
There is a 3 second delay from the time the zero or span calibration buttons are
released until the time that the change in calibration takes place. This delay is used to
prevent stress related offsets on the lower ranges.
Zero Calibration
The zero calibration can be set by applying zero pressure to both of the pressure ports
and pressing the zero button for 3 seconds. If the LCD display is present, the display
will read ZERO and then sequence back to the home display.
Span Calibration
NOTICE
For a positive span, apply pressure to the positive “+” port.
The span calibration function allows the pressure value to be adjusted so that the
currently applied pressure is the maximum congured pressure. This will in turn set
the maximum analog output at the set pressure. It is recommended that the ZERO
function be applied before performing a span. Apply the maximum desired pressure
to the device, press and hold span for 3 seconds. If the LCD display is present, SPAN
is displayed. The span function will be processed 3 seconds after the span button is
released.

LCD DISPLAY
The LCD comes with a housing cover, which contains a window. The display plugs
into the pins on top of the circuit board. The LCD is 180° rotatable so that it will read
properly if the device must be mounted with the connections facing up.
The following error messages will appear if an LCD is present and the device is an
error state.
