Series MSX
Magnesense® Differential Pressure Transmitter
• Read LCD values easier with rotatable 180 °
display
• Quick and easy wiring via the optional toolless
terminal block
• Add safety to variety of applications with UL94 V-0
and plenum ratings
Description
The Series MSX Magnesense® Differential Pressure
Transmitter combines the stability and versatility of the
original Series MS2 Magnesense® II transmitter for use 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.
MSX with optional LCD
Applications
• Filter monitoring in air handler units
• Building pressure in pharmaceutical/semiconductor
clean rooms
• Duct static pressure in commercial buildings
• Air velocity/ow in VAV systems
