Reference Manual MAS2600: Ordering Information RM 6000-01-001-24 August 2023 Type MAS 2600 -XXX-XX-X/XX Type Absolute Trans- The absolute transducer has no breather pipe, because it refers ducer to absolute vacuum. An atmospheric pressure sensor is used to compensate for the atmospheric pressure. The absolute trans- ducer is especially suitable for open deck applications, where the amplifier box may be exposed to flooding.
Measuring Ranges MAS 2600 -XXX-XX-X/XX Gauge Transmitter The MAS 2600 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 sub-ranges as of the table below.
