Description and Operation
MAS2600 Tank Contents Transmitter
The MAS2600 is a 2-wire 4-20 mA level
transmitter consisting of a transducer and an
amplifier interconnected by a 6-core vented
cable.
Transducer:
The transducer is a pressure sensitive silicon
micro strain gauge sensor mounted in a glass
to metal seal. The sensor is protected by an
isolation diaphragm, electron beam welded
to the transducer housing, with an oil filling
between the sensor and the diaphragm.
Pressure changes on the front of the
diaphragm will bring a resistance change in
the Wheatstone bridge of the transducer.
This change in the Wheatstone bridge will
be transmitted to the amplifier as a change in
the electrical signal.
The transducer is fully welded, housed in
titanium with a titanium diaphragm.
All transducer types are submersible (IP68).
The transducer is available in three versions:
• Gauge version.
• Absolute version.
• High temperature gauge vers io n.
As optional the transducer is available with a
built-in Pt100 temperature sensor.
Amplifier:
The amplifier is available in the following
options:
• Programmable version: Calibration is
made by dip switches and potentiometers.
• Differential version: For measuring of
both pressure and vacuum measuring.
The amplifier is housed in a sea water
resistant polyester casing (IP56).
Application
The MAS2600 has been developed for level
measuring in ballast, oil, service and fresh
water tanks as well as tanks containing
media which are not hostile to titanium.
Intrinsically Safe in Hazardous Areas
The MAS2600 is DEMKO approved for use
with standard transmitter zener barriers or
Ex isolation amplifiers and is Ex ia IIC T4
compliant in accordance with IEC 600790:2007 and IEC 60079-11:2006.

Type MAS2600-XXX-XX-X/XX
A: Absolute Transducer. The absolute transducer has no breather pipe, because it refers to
absolute vacuum. An atmospheric pressure sensor is used to compensate for the atmospheric
pressure. The absolute transducer is especially suitable for open deck applications, where the
amplifier box may be exposed to flooding.
G: Gauge Transducer. The gauge transducer is fitted with a breather pipe at the back of the
diaphragm to compensate for the atmospheric pressure. The breather pipe is connected to a
vent plug in the amplifier box. The gauge transducer is suitable for most applications.
H: High Temperature Transducer. The high temperature transducer is available in gauge version
only. The transducer is mounted with a special high temperature cable and designed for
heated tanks e.g. HFO tanks, and other applications with high tank media temperatures. The
transducer can be flange mounted or internally mounted.
Measuring Ranges MAS2600-XXX-XX-X/XX
Gauge Transmitter:
The MAS2600 Gauge Transmitter is supplied in 4 ranges. In the programmable amplifier the
measuring range is divided into 8 sub-ranges and operated by means of the range select switch.
The transmitter output signal can be adjusted to 20 mA within the following sub-ranges.

Absolute Transmitter:
The MAS2600 Absolute Transmitter is available in two ranges.
The output signals are calibrated as follows:
Transducer type 4 : 0.8 - 3.5 bar abs
Transducer type 7 : 0.8 - 2.0 bar abs
Selecting the Measuring Range:
When selecting the measuring range it is important to consider the tank height, vent pipe height,
the tank type and the specific gravity (SG) of the tank contents.
The transducer measures the height of the fluid (water gauge) from the transducer diaphragm to
the surface of the fluid, including the fluid in the vent pipe.
To ensure measuring accuracy a transducer type within the range no. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 is
recommended.
Guidelines for selection of transducer measuring ranges are set out in the following.
Selecting the Transducer Type:
Gauge and High Temperature Gauge Transducers:
The Gauge Transmitter is normally used on dry and pressure neutral locations.
The Gauge Transmitter is available in 4 ranges:
0-3.5 mH2O.
0-7.0 mH2O.
0-16.0 mH2O.
0-35.0 mH2O.

Absolute Transducers
The Absolute Transmitter is typically used if the amplifier is exposed to water, e.g. on open deck.
The Absolute Transmitter is available in 2 ranges: 0-20 and 0-35 mH2O. In practice this means 10
mH2O less than the nominal range because of the atmospheric pressure which must be taken into
consideration when choosing the transducer.
A transducer with an effective range larger than the tank height should be selected.
:
Basic Rules:
1. The selected measuring range must be larger than the tank height.
2. The selected measuring range must be larger than
EXAMPLE: Tank height = 6 m
Vent pipe height = 14 m
1. The selected measuring range must be larger than 6 m due to the height of the tank.
2. The selected measuring range must be larger than
= 10 m due to the total height of the
tank and the vent pipe combined.
Select a transducer with a measuring range of 16 mH2O as this is the next measuring range larger
than 10 m.
Turn the range select switch on the amplifier to range No. 7.
Normally the selection of transducer, range select and calibration are done by DAMCOS.
Special consideration applies to e.g. forepeak tanks and draft measuring when selecting the
measuring range of the transducer.
Forepeak Tank:
Transducer measuring range > tank height: Select the next measuring range.
EXAMPLE: Tank height 12 m.
Based on the tank height a transducer with a measuring range of 16 mH2O should be selected.
However, due to the dynamic conditions in the forepeak tank, a transducer with a measuring
range of 35 mH2O, i.e. the next in line, should be selected.
Turn amplifier range select switch to range No. 6.

June 2013 Ed 19UK
Draft
Transducer measuring range > max. draft minus sensor position.
This rule applies provided the transducer is mounted in accordance with the installation drawing
for draft transmitters (vent pipe min. 1"). The sensor may be mounted direct on the sea valve with
an air release valve if the ship is sailing in calm waters.
If the transducer is installed in tanks which may have excessive dynamic stresses such as e.g.
high pump pressure, long bottomed tanks with a risk of slashing etc., contact Emerson Process
Management Marine Solutions, Damcos.
Temperature Sensor MAS2600-XXX-XX-X/XX
The transducer can be supplied with a built-in Pt100 temperature sensor. The temperature sensor
will only give a proper reading, if the transducer is an internally mounted type.
0: Without temperature sensor.
1: With temperature sensor
Cable MAS2600-XXX-XX-X/XX
Two types of transducer cable is available. The standard cable for applications with temperatures
never exceeding 80°C, and high temperature cable for applications with temperatures up to
125°C. The transducer cable is delivered in whole meters.
For further information require data sheet.
To make the MAS2600 transmitter easy to install, and for later service purposes, the transducer
cable should be as short as possible, though considering the position of the transducer and
amplifier box.
Max. cable length: 300 m.
When installing in hazardous areas max. cable length: 75 m.

Handling
The MAS2600 transducer is a highly sensitive electronic piece of equipment and proper handling
is most important.
To avoid damaging the transducers:
• NEVER lift by the cable if transducer is mounted with fittings.
• NEVER remove the protection cap in front of the diaphragm before installation.
• NEVER knock the transducer.
• NEVER apply pressure to the diaphragm in any way whatsoever, whether using fingers, tools
or sharp objects.
• NEVER use sharp objects when cleaning the diaphragm.
• NEVER submerge the cable so that the breather tube is under water.
• NEVER bend the cable in a radius of less than 90 mm.

Installation
Prior to installation please check that:
• the serial numbers on the transducer, amplifier and lid of amplifier box agree. The serial
numbers are to be found on the inside of the lid of the amplifier box on the bottom line amplifier S/N and transducer S/N on the range label.
• the transducer is fitted in the correct tank.
• the transducer is correctly connected to the amplifier.
NOTE: The white and brown wires in the transducer cable are only used when a Pt100 sensor
is built into the transducer.
• all cable glands are properly secured to the amplifier box. Use torque of 6 Nm.
• the amplifier box is mounted in such a way that the breather tube cannot be flooded.
• the cable is fastened with cable clips with a distance of max. 50 cm.
• the cable isolation is not damaged (cracks, weld spatter, burns etc.).
• shut-off valves can be either ball valves or other valves not generating over pressure exceeding
4 x the transducer range between valve seat and transducer when the valve is closed.
As for flange mounted applications it is recommended that a ball valve is fitted in the front of the
transducer to facilitate testing and calibrating of the transmitter.
Using a shielded cable to the 4-20 mA signal, the shield should not be connected in the amplifier
box but the earth terminal of the instrument. Using a shielded cable ensures maximum protection
against electric noise.

If the amplifier box is installed in an area with over pressure or negative pressure in relation to
the atmospheric pressure in the tank, the breather tube must be directed to an area with
atmospheric pressure equalling the pressure inside the tank. This applies to gauge transmitters
only. For absolute transmitters this has no affect, due to the reference to absolute vacuum and not
atmospheric pressure. This is also the reason why no breather tube is necessary.
Be sure that the cable glands are tight. Use a torque of 6 Nm.

Installation & User Manual
Ed 19UK June 2013
Before installing intrinsically safe units within an approved installation, it is essential to ensure
that there are no deviations from the conditions of the order or the requirements of the approved
block schematic diagram and the following related instructions:
1. No circuits other than those shown on the drawing are permitted. There must be no
interconnection to any other circuits.
2. The intrinsically safe cabling must not be connected to non-intrinsically safe circuits, through
any plug, socket or other form of electric connector containing the cable.
3. Adequate precautions must be taken to prevent danger arising from the charging of the
intrinsically safe circuit by the contact leakage or inductance from any other circuit. To
prevent static electricity do not rub cables or amplifier housing with a dry piece of cloth.
4. The intrinsically safe circuit must be adequately insulated from earth in the hazardous area
and the insulation of all cabling must be at least 500 V r.m.s.
5. The safety barrier (zener barrier) must be placed in a safe area and be mounted within a
protective enclosure with a protection degree, at least equal to IP 20.
6. The cable between the safety barrier and the amplifier should be provided with a cable shield
which is connected to earth at the zener barrier. The impedance between the safety barrier
earth rail and a secure bond to the hull must not exceed 1 ohm.
7. Safe area apparatus must not be supplied from, nor contain, a source of potential with respect
to earth under normal or abnormal conditions exceeding 250V r.m.s. or 250 V DC.
8. The inductance/resistance ratio, total inductance and total capacitance, of the cable and the
amplifier must not exceed the values stated by the manufacturer of the approved safety
barriers.
9. Prevent impacts on the sensor housing to avoid sparks. Do not mount or dismount the sensor
when there is a hazardous condition in the tank. Be sure the tank is vented and gas free.
10. Be sure that the amplifier box is dry and clean before the lid is mounted. The four screws
in the lid should be tightened fully.
11. Be sure to order and use sensor cable with the right temperature specification. Check that
the ambient temperature for the entire cable run do not exceed the max limit for the cable.
12. MAS2600 contain no repairable parts. Repairing or fixing the circuit or replacing
components may impact the intrinsic safety.
13. The sensor cable shall remain in one piece from sensor to amplifier box.
Reference is made to manufacturer instructions of zener barriers and to the rules in force at the
time in question concerning intrinsically safe area installation.

Testing and Recalibrating
Please observe that testing and recalibration of sensors mounted in hazardous arias shall be
carried out of Ex qualified personnel.
Testing
Before dispatch, the MAS2600 transmitter is calibrated in accordance with the requirements
specified in the order.
The transducer and the amplifier are calibrated together and must, therefore, always be used
together.
A programmable measuring range transmitter will in conditions of no pressure (empty tank) give
an output signal of 4 mA, and in conditions of maximum pressure (full tank) an output signal of
20 mA.
The transmitter should be tested by applying to the transducer a known pressure from a calibrator
and reading the equivalent milliamp signal on a milliamp meter.
The above-mentioned applies to the gauges transmitter only. For absolute transmitters the output
signal will be higher than 4 mA, because it is calibrated for 4 mA at 0.8 bar abs. The output
signal will typically be 5-7.5 mA in atmospheric pressure, depending on the transducer range and
the actual atmospheric pressure. Maximum output signal 20 mA, will be at the transducers
absolute range.
Recalibrating Gauge Transmitter using Test Cup type G022S100
When recalibrating the MAS2600 Gauge Transmitter a pressure calibrator with a range of
-1 to 3.5 bar should be used. It should have an accuracy of 0.05% FS or better, as well as a 4½
digit milliamp meter.
1. Set the calibrator to pressure mode.
2. Connect the pressure calibrator to the transducer via MAS2600 Test Cup, type G022S100.
3. Check that the range select switch on the amplifier is correctly set.
4. In conditions of no pressure (atmospheric pressure) the output signal should be adjusted to
4.00 mA on the zero potentiometer.
5. Increase the pressure to maximum and adjust the output signal to 20.00 mA on the span
potentiometer.
6. Remove the pressure and check the zero point
7. Check the linearity at 0-25-50-75 and 100% of the measuring range.
8. If necessary, repeat the steps 4 to 7.

Recalibrating Gauge Transmitter using Vacuum (for gauge transmitters only)
An internally mounted transducer can also be recalibrated by using vacuum.
1. Check that the tank is empty.
2. Check that the range select switch on the amplifier is correctly set.
3. Set the calibrator to vacuum mode.
4. Connect the hose from the calibrator to the breather tube from the transducer cable.
5. In conditions of no pressure the output signal should be adjusted to 4.00 mA on the zero
potentiometer.
6. Increase the vacuum equal to the maximum height of the fluid (water gauge) and adjust the
output signal to 20.00 mA on the span potentiometer.
7. Remove the vacuum and check the zero point.
8. Check the linearity at 0-25-50-75 and 100% of the measuring range.
9. If necessary, repeat the steps 5 to 8.
NOTE: If the calibrated maximum water gauge is greater than the maximum water gauge
that can be generated by the vacuum calibrator, the proportional mA output signal
equal to the maximum vacuum signal should be calculated.
EXAMPLE: If the full-scale of the transmitter is 15 mH2O, and the maximum capacity of the
vacuum calibrator is 7.5 mH2O, the mA output signal at 7.5 mH2O is calculated as:
15 mH2O = 20 mA and 0 mH2O = 4 mA
7.5 mH2O = 4 +
mA
The span potentiometer is adjusted so that the output signal shows 12 mA at 7.5 mH2O.
