KOBOLD MAN-SC/-LC Digital Pressure Gauges: Advanced Monitoring with IO-Link Technology

The KOBOLD MAN-SC and MAN-LC digital pressure gauges represent cutting-edge technology in industrial pressure measurement. As the first electronic digital pressure gauges worldwide to feature IO-Link connectivity, these precision instruments deliver exceptional performance across numerous industrial applications while providing seamless integration with modern automation systems.

Advanced Display and Interface

The gauges feature a high-visibility 5-digit alpha-numeric reflective LCD display with 16mm digit height, ensuring clear readability even in challenging industrial environments. The innovative design allows both the display to rotate in 90° increments and the housing to rotate 360°, providing optimal viewing angles in any installation position. The MAN-LC version includes a white backlight with transflective display technology that enhances visibility in both direct sunlight and low ambient light conditions. Users benefit from intuitive capacitive touchpads that make programming and operation straightforward and reliable, even in demanding industrial settings.

Comprehensive Measurement Capabilities

KOBOLD's MAN-SC/-LC series offers impressive measurement versatility with ranges from -14.5 to 23,200 PSI (with special measuring ranges available upon request) and accuracy class 0.5 at reference conditions. The gauges support multiple measurement units including kPa, MPa, bar, mbar, PSI, kN, N, torr, inWC, mmWC, inHg, and user-defined options, allowing for application-specific configuration. A unique feature to these KOBOLD gauges is the built-in force value calculation capability, making them ideal for applications requiring both pressure and force measurements. The integrated peak memory function records maximum and minimum readings, providing valuable insights for process monitoring and troubleshooting.

Versatile Power and Connectivity Options

The MAN-SC model operates on a standard 9V battery (alkaline or lithium) with an impressive battery life of up to 2.5 years, enhanced by programmable sleep mode functionality for power optimization. For applications requiring continuous power, the MAN-LC model operates on external 18-32 VDC power supplied via an M12x1 connector.

The MAN-LC version excels in connectivity with its IO-Link compatibility, supporting Industry 4.0 implementations. This model features configurable outputs including analog (4-20mA/0-20mA or 0-10V/2-10V), frequency, and switch outputs. For applications requiring isolation between the measurement and control circuits, an optional retrofit kit with up to two potential-free SPDT contacts is available, either factory-assembled or as a field upgrade.

Robust Construction for Industrial Durability

Designed for harsh industrial environments, both models feature IP65 protection class and stainless steel process connections for corrosion resistance. The operating temperature range of 14-140°F ensures reliable performance across various industrial settings. For particularly demanding applications or portable use, an optional thermoplastic elastomer sleeve provides additional impact protection. The gauges demonstrate excellent shock resistance at 20g (11ms) per DIN EN 60068-2-27:2010 and vibration resistance at 5g (10-2000 Hz) per DIN EN 60068-2-6:2008, ensuring long-term operational reliability.

Versatile Process Connections

The MAN-SC/-LC series accommodates diverse installation requirements with standard connections including G1/4, G1/2, 1/4" NPT, and 1/2" NPT. For specialized applications, these gauges can be assembled with numerous diaphragm seals, and hygienic process connections are available for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications where sanitary requirements are critical.

Practical Software Functions

The gauges incorporate several practical software functions including password protection to secure configuration settings, a tare function for easy zero-point calibration, and a factory reset option for quick restoration of original settings. The MAN-SC model features a customizable sleep mode to extend battery life in intermittent-use applications, while both models include MIN/MAX memory capabilities for monitoring pressure extremes during processes.

Industrial Applications

The KOBOLD MAN-SC/-LC digital pressure gauges excel in diverse industrial environments including mechanical engineering and plant construction, pumps and compressors, environmental technology systems, hydraulics and pneumatics, process industry applications, and load capacity measuring scenarios such as tensile load measurement with pull testers. Their versatility and reliability make them ideal for water treatment facilities, oil and gas operations, food processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing where accurate pressure measurement is critical to process control and product quality.

With their combination of precision engineering, versatile functionality, and robust construction, the KOBOLD MAN-SC/-LC digital pressure gauges represent an optimal solution for industrial pressure measurement needs across virtually any application where accuracy, reliability, and advanced connectivity are essential.
