Installation Guide
“Multi-Sense” Model MRX Series
Multi-Range Differential Pressure Transducer
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Mounting Position
Mount and calibrate in vertical position for quick and easy installation on ducts, walls or ceilings and in control rooms.
Media Compatibility
Model MRX transducers are designed to be used with air or nonconducting gases.
Use with liquids or corrosive gases will damage the unit.
Environment
The operating temperature limits of the MRX are as follows:
Operating Temperature | 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C) |
Compensated Temperature Range | 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C) |
SIMPLE 5-STEP SETUP INSTRUCTIONS STEP1
For CE compliance a properly grounded shielding cable is required.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Removable Terminal Block for Easy Wiring
STEP 1: Wire and Power Up Unit – Follow diagrams below for 2-wire and 3-wire configurations. After completing wiring requirements – Apply power to the Model MRX.
Multi-Sense Voltage
3-Wire, 0-5, 0-10 VDC Configuration

GENERAL INFORMATION
Every Model MRX has been calibrated and tested before shipment to guarantee performance for all pressure ranges. The Model MRX is available in four versions (see below) which have field selectable range capability via slide switch and jumpers.

SIMPLE 5-STEP SETUP INSTRUCTIONS – STEPS 2 – 5
Power On – LCD Display
Display momentarily toggles thru all existing setup parameters on initial power up.
Pressure is normally indicated on display. Units are either in inches of water column or Pascal.
STEP 6 (OPTIONAL CONFIGURATION)
Press and hold zero/config button, you will see the “0”. Hold down for 7 seconds until seeing “Conf” screen. Release push button and screen will read “Filt”. Hold down push button until “Filt” flashes. “Filt” is a sampling filter with 3 options: “Nor” (normal), “SLo” (slow), “FAS” (fast) and “off” (no filter). Cycle through options by pressing zero/config button. To select press and hold until screen flashes. After selecting filter, screen will show “filt”, cycle through options and choose “done”. Press until it flashes. The sampling filter increases the sample size before updating the output and the display. For “noisy” pressure environments increase the sample size to slow setting. For faster updates change setting to fast or off. Default setting is normal.
Setting | Response Time (sec) |
Off | 0.3 |
Fast | 1.5 |
Normal | 3 |
Slow | 6 |
ZERO AND SPAN ADjUSTMENT*
The unit may be recalibrated in the field using the push button zero/span. It may be calibrated in any of the pressure ranges.
Zero Adjustment:
- With unit at zero differential pressure, press and hold ZERO/CONFIG button until the “-0-” display blinking.
- Release the button immediately. The display will show “—-” briefly to re-zero the unit.
- If the re-zero is successful, the display will show “good”. The new zero value will be stored in nonvolatile memory automatically.
- If the re-zero is unsuccessful, the display will show “bAd”. This is usually because the re-zeroring pressure is more than ±10% of the sensor range with factory setting.
Span Adjustment:
- It is recommended to perform Zero Adjustment before Span Adjustment
- Use a reference grade calibrator to apply positive full-scale differential pressure.
- Press and hold ZERO/CONFIG button until the display shows “-0-” and the display stops blinking and shows “Conf”.
- Release the button to get into the Configuration menu. The first selection is “FiLt” (Filter) setting.
- Do short press (press and not hold) until the display shows “-SP-” (Set Span) setting.
- Do long press (press and hold) until the display is blinking to select it. The display will show “yes”.
- Do long press until the display is blinking and then release the button. The display will show “—” briefly to re-span the unit.
- If the re-span is successful, the display will show “good”. The new span value will be stored in nonvolatile memory automatically.
- If the re-span is unsuccessful, the display will show “bAd”. This is usually because the re-zeroring pressure is more than ±10% off of the sensor range factory setting.
