Key Technical Advantages

1. Designed for Severe Marine and Industrial Environments

The MBS 1200 series is Danfoss’ compact OEM pressure transmitter designed for severe hydraulic applications. It delivers reliable pressure measurement even under harsh environmental conditions. The product is suitable for ship engine rooms and other high-vibration environments, with excellent vibration stability ensuring long-term reliability.

2. High EMC/EMI Protection

The MBS 1200 series provides EMC protection up to 100 V/m, meeting the most stringent industrial EMC/EMI requirements. Even near strong electromagnetic interference sources such as variable frequency drives and motors, the transmitter delivers stable, accurate signals—eliminating false alarms or signal distortion caused by electromagnetic interference.

3. Wide Temperature Operating Range

The MBS 1200 series supports -40°C to +125°C media temperature range and -40°C to +100°C ambient temperature range. The compensated temperature range also covers -40°C to +125°C. From freezing ship decks to hot engine rooms, the MBS 1200 series maintains stable measurement accuracy.

4. Compact Robust Design for Space-Saving Installation

The MBS 1200 series features a compact design with net weight of only 62 g and dimensions of 58 mm × 24 mm × 24 mm. With IP67 ingress protection, it operates reliably in dusty, splash-water, and harsh environments. 17-4PH stainless steel wetted parts ensure excellent corrosion resistance.

5. Fast Response and High Accuracy

The MBS 1200 series offers response time ≤ 1 ms, meeting the demanding requirements of dynamic pressure measurement. Typical accuracy ≤ ±0.5% FS ensures precise pressure monitoring. Burst pressure up to 400 bar provides a high safety margin.

6. 100% Direct Interchangeability and Simulated Condition Testing

The MBS 1200 series strictly adheres to Danfoss original mounting dimensions and interface standards (G1/4″ pressure connection, Round Packard Metri-Pack 3-pin electrical connection), enabling direct drop-in replacement of original pressure transmitters without piping modification or system adjustment. Every unit undergoes 100% simulated operating condition bench testing prior to shipment.

Application Areas

• Marine & Offshore: Engine room pressure monitoring, ballast water systems, fuel oil systems, lubrication oil systems

• Industrial Hydraulic Systems: System pressure monitoring and control for hydraulic power units and stations

• Construction Machinery: Pressure measurement for excavators, wheel loaders, and other mobile equipment

• Compressed Air Systems: Compressor discharge pressure monitoring and control

• Process Industries: Process pressure measurement in chemical and pharmaceutical industries

• Power Generation: Lubrication oil pressure and cooling water pressure monitoring for diesel generator sets

Expert Maintenance Tips

1. Verify Model and Range Compatibility Prior to Installation

063G1061 / MBS1200-2011-C2GB04 has a range of 0–10 bar—maximum operating pressure must not exceed 10 bar. Confirm that system operating pressure falls within the measuring range prior to installation. Overload pressure is 30 bar with burst pressure of 400 bar.

2. Correct Installation Torque and Sealing

The MBS 1200 series features G1/4″ male thread (DIN 3852-E) pressure connections with a hex size of 22 mm. Use a torque wrench during installation to the torque value specified in Danfoss technical manuals. Use OEM-specification O-rings or bonded sealing washers—PTFE tape must not be used (it may block internal sensor passages). Ensure piping is clean prior to installation to prevent debris from damaging the sensor diaphragm.

3. Electrical Connection Precautions

063G1061 features Round Packard Metri-Pack 3-pin electrical connection. Supply pin is Pin B, common is Pin A. Supply voltage is 30 V DC max. Verify supply voltage is within allowable range and observe correct polarity prior to wiring.

4. Pulse Damping

The MBS 1200 series has no integrated pulse-snubber. For applications with high-frequency pressure pulsation (such as piston pump outlets), install an external pulse snubber or restrictor orifice upstream of the transmitter to protect the sensor from pressure spikes and extend service life.

5. Mounting Position and Vibration Protection

The MBS 1200 series offers excellent vibration stability and can be mounted in any orientation. For extreme vibration applications, mechanical decoupling via flexible pressure hose connection is recommended.

6. Temperature Effects

The MBS 1200 series compensated temperature range is -40°C to +125°C. Under extreme temperature conditions, perform zero-point calibration during system commissioning to eliminate measurement deviations caused by installation location temperature variations.

7. Periodic Calibration and Functional Checks

Perform calibration checks every 12 months or according to system criticality to verify that output signal vs. pressure correspondence remains within specification (≤±0.5% FS typical). If abnormal signal drift or output anomalies are observed, arrange for servicing or replacement.
