Series MSX Magnesense® Differential Pressure Transmitter
Monitors Differential Pressure, Air Velocity and Volumetric Flow
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 simplifies the ordering process to deliver the desired configuration, which reduces product setup time. Pressure ranges are available in Pa, mm w.c., and in w.c. All pressure ranges can be configured 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 for calculating flow. Dual voltage and milliamp output signals can be used to provide both control and equipment output signal verification.
NIST CALIBRATION available in Product Configurator.
Please see Series AT-MSX for ATEX/IECEx approved.
Product Applications
- Filter monitoring in air handler units

Questions
- Question
- We ordered a bunch of MS2-D103-LCD pressure transmitters last year and need to order (20) more this year. It looks like the MS2 is not an option any more and we need to go with a MSX series. We just want to confirm that a MSX-U13-IN-LCD is the same unit as the MS2-D103-LCD and that it is a Duct mount with probe.
- Answer
- Model number MSX-U13-IN-LCD would be perfect for duct applications to replace the MS2 unit you're currently using.
