Overview
The Danfoss MBS 3000 is a compact pressure transmitter for general industrial applications — pump and compressor control, hydraulics, water and HVAC systems. It uses a piezoresistive sensor with AISI 316L wetted parts and a sealed stainless enclosure, delivering 4–20 mA with ±0.5 % accuracy across ranges from 0–1 to 0–600 bar. The transmitter is designed for high vibration and pressure peaks, with an optional pulse snubber for cavitation and water hammer. Ordering codes such as 060G1125 define range, output and connection; the MBS 3000 is a frequent companion to VLT drives in pressure-controlled pump systems.
Key features
- Ranges 0–1 to 0–600 bar (gauge, absolute versions); 4–20 mA (0–10 V versions)
- Accuracy ±0.5 % FS typical, ±1 % max; long-term stability ±0.1 %/year
- AISI 316L wetted parts, sealed stainless housing, high vibration resistance
- Pulse snubber option for pressure peaks and cavitation
- Connections G1/2 A, G1/4 A, 1/4 NPT, 7/16-20 UNF; DIN plug or M12
Typical applications
- Pressure control of pumps with VLT AQUA/HVAC drives
- Compressors and refrigeration systems
- Hydraulic power units
- Water, HVAC and industrial utilities

Frequently asked questions
Can the MBS 3000 be used with a VLT drive for pressure control?
Yes. It is the typical feedback transmitter: the 4–20 mA output connects directly to the drive's analog input and the drive's PID controller maintains the pressure setpoint.
Do I need the pulse snubber option?
Recommended for reciprocating compressors, fast-closing valves and systems with cavitation; it dampens pressure spikes that could damage the sensor.
Is the MBS 3000 available from stock, and what is the lead time?
Common ranges (0–10, 0–16, 0–25 bar) are usually available within 1–2 weeks. We confirm with the quotation.
