Danfoss 060G2108 AKS 33 Industrial Pressure Transmitter

Product Overview

The 060G2108 (060G2108) is a high-precision pressure transmitter from the Danfoss AKS 33 series, specifically engineered for demanding HVAC and refrigeration applications. Designed to provide reliable feedback in industrial cooling systems, heat pumps, and process control networks, this transmitter converts pressure levels into a standardized 4-20 mA analog signal. By ensuring accurate, real-time pressure monitoring for PLCs and supervisory control systems, the AKS 33 helps maintain optimal system efficiency, prevents compressor damage from extreme pressure conditions, and reduces operational downtime through consistent diagnostic feedback.

Technical Configuration

The AKS 33 utilizes a proven sensing technology that delivers high-performance monitoring in a compact, durable package. The device features a sealed gauge pressure reference, which protects the internal sensing element from the ingress of moisture or corrosive elements common in industrial environments. With an IP65-rated angular connector conforming to EN 175301-803-A, the transmitter is protected against dust and splashing water, making it suitable for varied installation positions within mechanical rooms or plant floors. The electronics are optimized for operation across a wide temperature range, ensuring signal stability even in environments where ambient and medium temperatures fluctuate significantly.

Technical Specifications

FAQs

What is the advantage of the "sealed gauge" reference?

The sealed gauge design references a vacuum-sealed internal cavity. This prevents humidity or contaminants from entering the internal pressure sensing chamber, ensuring accuracy and longevity in harsh or humid industrial environments.

Is this transmitter compatible with standard HVAC control systems?

Yes, the AKS 33 produces a standard 4-20 mA output, making it fully compatible with the vast majority of industrial PLCs, HVAC controllers, and building management systems (BMS).

Does the transmitter require periodic recalibration?

The AKS 33 is designed for long-term stability and is factory-calibrated. Under normal operating conditions, it maintains its accuracy specifications over a long service life, though periodic verification against system standards is recommended based on your site's safety requirements.

What should I do if the connector is exposed to moisture?

While the angular connector provides an IP65 rating when properly seated and tightened, ensure that the rubber gasket is intact and that the screw is fully secured. If moisture ingress is suspected, inspect the terminal contacts for corrosion immediately.

Installation and Operational Guidelines

• Mechanical Seating: When installing the transmitter, ensure that the process connection is free of debris. Use a suitable wrench on the designated flats of the transmitter body to tighten. Avoid using the electrical connector housing as a leverage point, as this can damage the internal components or the connector seal.

• Electrical Termination: Follow the EN 175301-803-A standard for wiring. Ensure that the cable gland is tightened sufficiently to prevent cable strain and to maintain the IP65 ingress protection rating. Use shielded cabling if the transmitter is installed in areas with significant electromagnetic interference from motors or frequency drives.

• Thermal Management: While the transmitter is rated for temperatures up to 85 deg C, avoid mounting it in direct contact with excessively hot surfaces (e.g., uninsulated steam piping) that could cause the ambient temperature to exceed its rated limits, as this may cause premature electronic drift or failure.
