060G1368 Danfoss MBS 3000 Industrial Pressure Transmitter

Product Overview

The 060G1368 (060G1368) is a high-precision pressure transmitter from the Danfoss MBS 3000 series, specifically engineered for demanding industrial and hydraulic applications. This gauge reference sensor provides a reliable 4 to 20 mA current output, ensuring accurate monitoring of liquid and gaseous media even in high-temperature environments reaching up to 100 deg C. Designed for long-term stability and resistance to electromagnetic interference, the 060G1368 is a critical asset for power plants, water distribution systems, and manufacturing lines. Its robust stainless steel construction and IP65-rated enclosure provide exceptional protection against vibration and moisture, minimizing system downtime and optimizing process control efficiency in the most rigorous B2B industrial settings.

Technical Configuration

The MBS 3000 series is built to deliver high performance through a simplified, durable hardware architecture.

• Signal Accuracy: Features a maximum accuracy of 0.5 percent FS (Full Scale), providing precise data for sensitive control loops without the need for manual zero-point or span adjustments.

• Thermal Resilience: Capable of operating in ambient temperatures ranging from -40 to 100 deg C, making it suitable for mounting near high-heat machinery or in extreme climates.

• Mechanical Connection: Equipped with a standard G 1/4 (EN 837) pressure connection with a 27 mm HEX, ensuring a secure and leak-proof fit in standard industrial manifolds.

• Diagnostic Clipping: Integrated high (22.4 mA) and low (3.6 mA) clipping levels allow the controller to instantly identify sensor malfunctions or over-range conditions.

• Electrical Interface: Features an angular connector with a Pg 11 cable entry, providing a standardized and rugged electrical termination that maintains an IP65 environmental rating.

Technical Specifications

Technical FAQs

How do the supply pins correspond to the angular connector wiring?

For the 060G1368, Pin 1 is designated for the + supply and Pin 2 serves as the - common (signal return). This standard two-wire configuration simplifies the current loop wiring to the PLC or analog input module.

Does this transmitter require field calibration for the zero point?

No, this model features a fixed zero point and span. The high-precision laser-calibrated electronics ensure the sensor remains within the 0.5 percent accuracy specification throughout its service life without the need for manual adjustment screws.

What is the benefit of the non-flush diaphragm in this model?

The non-flush diaphragm design is optimized for clean liquids and gases. It provides a robust sensing surface that is less susceptible to mechanical damage from high-velocity flow, though it is not recommended for highly viscous or crystallizing media which may clog the pressure port.

Engineering & Installation Guide

• Wiring and Seal Integrity: When assembling the Pg 11 angular connector, ensure the internal rubber gasket is seated correctly before tightening the center screw. This is vital to maintain the IP65 rating and prevent moisture from corroding the internal terminals. Use a shielded, twisted-pair cable to protect the 4 to 20 mA signal from electromagnetic noise.

• Mounting Torque: Use a 27 mm wrench on the HEX part of the pressure connection for installation. Do not use the transmitter body (the upper housing) to tighten the unit into the manifold, as this can damage the internal sensing element and void the accuracy specification.

• Thermal Protection: While the unit is rated for ambient temperatures up to 100 deg C, if the process media temperature consistently exceeds these limits, consider using a pigtail siphon or a capillary tube extension. This provides a cooling buffer that ensures the electronics remain within the specified thermal operating window.
