PRECAUTIONS

• 

Remove power before wiring. Never connect 
or disconnect wiring with the power applied. 
Do not allow live wires to touch the circuit 
board.

• 

An isolation transformer is recommended 
when powering the device with 24 VAC.

• 

Do not run the wiring in any conduit with line 
voltage.

• 

Failure to wire devices with the correct 
polarity when using a shared transformer may 
result in damage to any device powered by 
the shared transformer.

• 

Do not remove the cover. All user features are 
accessible from the outside of the unit.

MEDIA

The MLP2 can be used to monitor the differential 
pressure in any application that uses dry air or 
inert gas.

Using the two #8 x 3/4” self drilling mounting screws supplied by ACI, mount the unit vertically with 
the brass fittings pointing towards the ground. Attach the unit to the mounting surface using the 
two mounting openings located on the top and bottom flanges. This ensures that any condensation 
that may form in the tubing does not have an effect on the pressure sensor. If mounting the unit 
horizontally, a slight zero shift may occur and care must be taken to prevent moisture from building up 
in the sensor. For best results, all tubing lengths should be limited to a maximum length of 75 feet (23 
meters). 

DIN RAIL MOUNTING

The MLP2 offers two options for DIN Rail mounting: rear and side mount. The rear DIN rail mount is 
integrated into the enclosure. The side mount DIN adapter is included with the package. The side mount 
offers a much thinner profile for higher density panels. - See 

Figure 2

 or 

Figure 3

 (pg. 2)

To install the side mount DIN adapter, the front cover must be removed first. The cover can be pried out 
with a flat blade screw driver on the upper edge, or on the two side slots. The clip can then be slid into 
position. Once the clip is inserted, snap the front cover into place.
