The MS2500L is a corrosion transmitter capable of measuring and transmitting data from all types of 3-electrode linear polarization resistance (LPR) corrosion probes.
Corrosion rate measurements are made using the linear polarization resistance technique. The instrument measures the current required to polarize the electrodes of a probe to a known potential. From the polarization potential and the measured current, polarization resistance can be calculated. Then, using Faraday’s law, instantaneous corrosion rate is calculated from polarization resistance.
Another feature of the MS2500L is its high-precision voltmeter. This is used to measure the open-circuit potential between electrodes.
Measurements are transmitted via 4-20mA current loop. Since current loop signals are not as sensitive to line loss as other types of data signals, the MS2500L may be located up to ten miles away from the data receiver under proper conditions.
The MS2500L is completely loop-powered, so installation is simple. A two-wire connection is all that is required for both instrument power and data transmission. Setup is also simple, using a set of switches to select the measurement function (corrosion rate or electrode potential).

The MS2500L is housed in a NEMA rated explosion-proof and weather-proof enclosure, and the probe cable is connected through a water-tight, explosion-proof cable gland. This makes the MS2500L suitable for use in almost any indoor or outdoor environment.

The integrated wireless radio and I/O module eliminates cable and conduit used by the standard 4-20 mA current loop version of the MS2500E/MS2500L, making it better equipped for harsh industrial environments. The wireless radio utilizes 900-928 MHz ISM band spread spectrum, frequency-hopping technology to guarantee a license free, interference free link between remote devices and the control room.
Costly cable and conduit runs on new projects, or retrofitting of existing systems, are eliminated and replaced with a maintenance free, reliable and versatile wireless solution.
The set consists of an outdoor transmitter, receiver, and two antennas.
