Danfoss 060G2106 AKS 33 Pressure Transmitter

Product Overview

The 060G2106 (AKS 33) is a precision-engineered pressure transmitter designed specifically for the demanding requirements of refrigeration and air conditioning systems. By converting measured pressure into a highly stable 4 - 20 mA linear output signal, this transmitter ensures accurate process monitoring for PLC and control systems. The 060G2106 is built to maintain signal integrity in harsh environments, effectively mitigating the risk of process fluctuations. Its stainless steel construction and sealed gauge reference make it a reliable solution for critical climate control applications, where minimizing downtime through consistent feedback is essential to plant efficiency.

Technical Configuration

The AKS 33 series utilizes advanced thin-film technology to achieve exceptional long-term stability and resistance to pressure surges. This unit is rated for an overload pressure of up to 40 bar (580 psi), providing robust protection against mechanical stress in high-pressure refrigeration cycles. The device is optimized for performance within a medium temperature range of -40 to 85 Celsius, with a compensated temperature range of 0 to 80 Celsius for maximum precision. Electrical termination is facilitated through a standard EN 175301-803-A angular connector, ensuring a secure, IP65-rated connection that protects against moisture and dust ingress in field installations.

Technical Specifications

FAQs

Is the 060G2106 suitable for use with ammonia or other aggressive refrigerants?

The AKS 33 series is designed for compatibility with a wide range of refrigerants. However, always consult the specific technical datasheet regarding wetted parts compatibility for your medium to ensure long-term chemical resistance.

What is the purpose of the compensated temperature range?

The compensated temperature range (0 to 80 Celsius) indicates the band within which the sensor maintains its factory-calibrated accuracy. Operating within this range ensures optimal linearity and minimal thermal drift.

How should the transmitter be protected against electrical noise?

Use shielded cables for the 4 - 20 mA signal transmission. The shield should be properly terminated at the control cabinet's common ground point to prevent inductive interference from surrounding compressor motors or VFDs.

Installation and Operational Guidelines

• Mounting Stability: Install the transmitter in a location free from excessive vibration. If installation on a vibrating pipe is unavoidable, use a flexible capillary tube to decouple the sensor from the mechanical oscillation, which protects the internal sensing diaphragm.
• Environmental Sealing: The angular connector must be fully seated and the fastening screw tightened to achieve the IP65 rating. Ensure that the cable gland is correctly sized to the cable diameter to prevent moisture from traveling down the cable jacket into the connector housing.
• Pressure Testing: Before system commissioning, perform a leak test on the pressure connection using appropriate industrial leak detection methods. Never exceed the 40 bar overload pressure limit during system testing, as this may result in permanent sensor calibration shift or catastrophic failure.
