3808 MVT Multivariable Transmitter
Model 3808-10A With P/T Variables
The 3808 MVT Multivariable
Transmitter features accurate measurement
of gauge pressure and temperature.
Featuring:
• Excellentmeasurementperformanceover
thefullrangeofoperatingpressureand
temperatureconditions
• Extremelylowpowerconsumption—perfect
forremotesiteswithbatteryandsolarpower
systems
• “Bilingual”NetworkingviaBSAPandModbus
protocolswithRS485interface—operatesas
anRTUnodeonSCADAnetworks
• Intrinsicallysafeandexplosionprooffor
operationinClassI,Division1hazardousareas
• “Wetend”sensorassemblyisindependent
ofthe“topend”assembly
• Twoversions:RS485withRS232portfor
congurationorAnalogOutputwithFSKsignal.
