Danfoss 060G1370 Pressure Transmitter

Product Overview

The Danfoss 060G1370 (MBS series) pressure transmitter is a high-reliability sensor engineered for demanding industrial pressure measurement applications. Designed for versatile use in hydraulics, refrigeration, and general process control, this transmitter converts pressure into a standard 4-20 mA output signal. Its rugged design ensures accurate performance in harsh environments with ambient temperatures ranging from -40 deg C to 100 deg C, making it a critical component for preventing system overpressure and maintaining process integrity in industrial automation loops.

Technical Configuration

The 060G1370 is built for durability and seamless integration into standard industrial control architectures:

• Sensing Technology: Utilizes a proven piezoresistive element, offering excellent long-term stability and a typical accuracy of 0.5% FS.
• Output Signal: Standardized 4-20 mA current output, providing superior noise immunity over long cable runs compared to voltage signals.
• Pressure Interface: Features a G 1/4 (EN 837) male pressure connection with a 27 mm hex for secure installation in piping systems.
• Electrical Interface: Equipped with an angular connector (Pg 11) for reliable, protected field wiring, rated to IP65 to prevent ingress of water and debris.
• Clipping Levels: Configured with defined low (3.6 mA) and high (22.4 mA) clipping levels, allowing control systems to detect loop faults, open circuits, or short-circuits in real-time.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this transmitter require field calibration?

No, the 060G1370 is factory-calibrated. It does not feature adjustable zero-point or span pots, ensuring the calibration remains stable and tamper-proof for the life of the sensor.

How do I interpret the clipping levels?

The 3.6 mA low clipping and 22.4 mA high clipping levels are diagnostic signals. If your PLC controller reads a value below 4 mA or above 20 mA, it indicates a sensor fault or wiring issue rather than a pressure reading.

Can I use this for non-compatible fluids?

This model is designed for standard industrial fluids compatible with the stainless steel wetted parts. Consult the chemical compatibility chart for specific aggressive media applications.

Engineering Guidelines and Installation Best Practices

• Installation Torque: When installing the G 1/4 connection, use a 27 mm wrench. Ensure the sealing surface is clean and the appropriate gasket or O-ring is seated to prevent leaks. Do not exceed recommended torque to avoid thread deformation.
• Wiring Setup: Pin 1 is the supply (+), and Pin 2 is the common (-). Ensure the shielding of the cable is grounded only at the control cabinet end to prevent ground loops, which can introduce noise into the 4-20 mA signal.
• Pressure Pulsations: If the transmitter is installed in a system with high-frequency pressure surges or rapid cycling (e.g., piston pumps), install a restrictor or a snubber in the pressure line to protect the sensing diaphragm from pressure spikes that exceed the 50 bar overload limit.
