The front and the back panel depend on the installed options i.e. the MSG-LVDT Version posses the front panel with 8 LVDT connectors. The MSG-PEW version supports up to 4 pneumatic ports and 2 LVDT channels) Operator Keyboard for program selection.

The top level of the assembling is represented in the figure bellow: The MSG should be connected to the pneumatic regulator (Service Unit) Fig. 1 General Assembly for the pneumatic gauging using MSG-PEW measuring device assuring a proper input pressure about 3 bar. The pneumatic gauge is connected on the front panel.
Page 6: Connecting The Air Supply
Connect the Air Buffer via the braided hose (internal ø 8 mm) with your pneumatic supply system. Connect the MSG-PEW Device (Point 2 on the Fig. 4) via the supplied PU-hose (6/8mm) with the output side of the Service Unit (air supply 3 + 0,1 bar). ___________________________________________________________________________...
Page 7 For the optimal results, the input pressure should be between 2.7 bar and 3.3 bar under all measurement conditions, because the pneumatic transducers of the MSG-PEW are optimized to operate at 3 bar. Theoretically, any input pressure between 0.4 bar and 4 bar can be used, but changing the input pressure of 3 bar will affect the linearity and stability of the measurement.

< 0.7 white Customer Tab. 1 Standard types of MSG-PEW built in transducers * The repeatability is measured as difference between max and – min value of 50 measurements about „0“-point of the measuring range with one pneumatic port (i.e. Mandrel measuring a single diameter)
