Danfoss 060G1367 Pressure Transmitter

Product Overview

The Danfoss 060G1367 is a precision-engineered pressure transmitter designed for reliable monitoring in industrial process control. Utilizing an industry-standard 4 - 20 mA current output, this transmitter ensures robust signal integrity and noise immunity, making it an essential component for automated hydraulic circuits, water treatment facilities, and climate control systems. Built for performance in demanding environments, the 060G1367 features an IP65-rated enclosure and provides high measurement stability across a temperature range of -40 deg C to 100 deg C, effectively minimizing system downtime through accurate, consistent pressure feedback.

Technical Configuration

The 060G1367 is built to integrate seamlessly into existing industrial automation frameworks while maintaining high measurement fidelity.

• Signal Architecture: The current-loop output (4 - 20 mA) provides inherent diagnostic capability; the factory-set clipping levels (3.6 mA low / 22.4 mA high) allow control systems to immediately detect open-loop or short-circuit faults.
• Mechanical Durability: The unit features a G-type pressure connection, designed for high-pressure industrial manifolds. With an overload pressure capacity of 8 bar, it is optimized for mid-range pressure monitoring where reliability under transient pressure spikes is required.
• Installation Connectivity: The angular Pg 11 connector simplifies installation in tight industrial cabinets, with Pin 1 assigned to the positive supply and Pin 2 for the common signal path.

FAQs

Why is this transmitter described as "Gauge (relative)"?

A relative pressure reference means the sensor measures pressure in comparison to the current ambient atmospheric pressure. This is the standard for most industrial applications where process pressure must be understood relative to the local environment, rather than a perfect vacuum.

Can the 060G1367 be adjusted for zero point or span?

No, this model is factory-calibrated for high-precision output. It does not include manual adjustment screws. This design choice prevents accidental calibration drift and ensures long-term reliability in industrial settings where frequent recalibration is impractical.

Is this transmitter suitable for hazardous (intrinsically safe) zones?

No, the 060G1367 is not designated as intrinsically safe. It should not be installed in hazardous or explosive atmospheres unless the installation is protected by an approved intrinsic safety barrier that complies with local industrial safety regulations.

Engineering Guidelines and Best Practices

• Loop Resistance: Since this is a 4 - 20 mA device, ensure that the total resistance of the control loop (including the transmitter, wires, and input impedance of the receiver) does not exceed the limit required to maintain the necessary voltage at the transmitter terminals.
• Shielding: Use high-quality, shielded, twisted-pair cables for the signal loop to protect against electromagnetic interference from nearby variable frequency drives (VFDs) or motors. Always ground the shield at the control panel end only to avoid ground loops.
• Pressure Spikes: While the transmitter handles up to 8 bar of overload pressure, ensure that the hydraulic system is equipped with properly sized pressure relief valves to prevent rapid pressure oscillations or "water hammer" effects that could exceed the rated overload limit.
