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. 
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.
