Installation Instructions for the
MLH Series Pressure Sensors
WARNING
PERSONAL INJURY
DO NOT USE these products as safety or emergency stop
devices or in any other application where failure of the
product could result in personal injury.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in
death or serious injury.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Sensors with pressure ranges less than 300 psi are vented to
the atmosphere through a case vent hole that is protected with
a vapor inhibiting material.
PRESSURE OVERLOADS
CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE
• Do not exceed the pressure overload rating.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in
reduced life, or electrical failure.
The MLH Series pressure sensors will withstand high
overloads; however, if the overload rating is exceeded, the life
of the MLH Series may be reduced and electrical failure may
occur. Both static and dynamic overloads must be considered,
particularly in hydraulic system applications. Hydraulic
pressure fluctuations can have very high and very fast peak
pressures, as in a water hammer effect.
An oscilloscope is recommended for determining if highpressure transients exist in a system. If system pressure
pulses are expected, choose a sensor with a pressure rating
high enough to allow continuous operation at the highest
expected pressure spikes.
A pressure ‘snubber’ may be used to reduce the peak pressure
applied to the sensor. Snubbers may be obtained from the Mott
Corp., Farmington, CT, USA (860) 747-6333. Catalog #41001/8-SS is recommended.
MEDIA COMPATIBILTY
CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE
• Use non-abrasive, chemically compatible media to prevent
damage to diaphragm or port materials.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in
product failure.
The MLH Series pressure port and diaphragm is an assembly
of Haynes 214 alloy (or equivalent) and 304 stainless steel.

INSTALLATION
CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE
• Use a hex wrench for installation. Never apply torque to
the connector housing or the body of the sensor.
• Do not subject the sensor to high temperatures from
soldering, brazing, or welding of the system plumbing or
operating environments above the specified maximum
temperature.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in
product damage.
Ratiometric voltage and mV output devices require a regulated
5.0 Vdc supply. All other versions can use an unregulated
supply within the ranges noted under the excitation
specifications. The power supply should be off while wiring.
ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY/NOISE
CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE/ERRATIC OPERATION
• Do not use in areas where electromagnetic energy may
affect sensor operation.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in
improper operation and/or product failure.
The MLH Series has been rated for high immunity to electrical
noise; however, care should be taken when used around high
voltage sources that emit high levels of radiated
electromagnetic energy like variable frequency motor drives,
solenoids, radio transmitters and engine ignition systems. The
use of shielded cable and grounding of pressure port is also
recommended.
BENCH TEST
For incoming inspection or sensor failure evaluation, connect
the sensor to a dc voltage supply (off). The supply voltage
should be set within the range specified for the model. Based
on the sensors specified output, connect the output lead(s) to a
digital dc or mA meter. With no pressure on the sensor, turn on
the power supply and read the output signal on the voltmeter.
The reading should correspond to the specification indicated
for null offset. If not, check the connections, wire color code
and the setting of the power supply.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The wiring code for electrical connection is shown in Tables 2
and 3.
When using a connector, the use of the correct size wire is
important to ensure environmental sealing. Fill all holes in the
connector seal even if only two leads are used. Honeywell
recommends using a crimping tool for crimping wires to the
connector pins. Contact the individual connector manufacturer
for mating connector wiring.
