Danfoss 060G3946 Pressure Transmitter

The Danfoss 060G3946 Pressure Transmitter is a heavy-duty MBS 3000 series sensor engineered for precise industrial pressure measurement in demanding hydraulic and HVACR environments. This 4-20mA output pressure transmitter features a calibrated range of 0-16 bar (0-232 psi), providing linear signal transmission with a typical accuracy of ±0.5% FS. Built with a rugged NPT 1/4-18 male connection and a DIN 43650 plug (EN 175301-803-A), it ensures seamless integration into existing control loops. The 316L stainless steel wetted parts offer excellent media compatibility with oils, refrigerants, and non-corrosive liquids. Designed to withstand harsh field conditions, the IP65-rated enclosure provides superior vibration stability and EMI/RFI protection. Whether monitoring pumps and compressors or managing automated process control, the 060G3946 delivers a fast 4ms response time and high burst pressure resistance up to 96 bar, ensuring system stability even during pressure spikes.

Key Benefits for Technicians

• System Reliability: The MBS 3000 pressure sensor is laser-welded and protected against cavitation and liquid hammer.
• Wide Temperature Range: Effectively operates in media temperatures from -40°F to 185°F without signal drift.
• Standardized Integration: Features a standard 9-32V DC supply voltage requirement, compatible with most PLC and BAS controllers.
• Rugged Construction: Stainless steel AISI 316L wetted parts ensure long-term durability against common industrial fluids.
• Fast Diagnostics: The stable 4-20mA current loop facilitates easy troubleshooting and long-distance signal transmission without interference.

Common Questions

What is the maximum overload pressure for the Danfoss 060G3946?
This unit is designed to handle an overload pressure of up to 96 bar (1392 psi), providing a significant safety margin for systems prone to transient surges.

Is this transmitter compatible with ammonia or corrosive refrigerants?
The wetted parts are AISI 316L stainless steel. While compatible with many refrigerants and oils, always verify chemical compatibility for specific corrosive media like ammonia (R717) prior to installation.

How do I wire the 4-pin angular connector?
The EN 175301-803-A connector typically utilizes Pin 1 for the positive supply and Pin 2 for the 4-20mA output signal. Always refer to the specific wiring diagram provided with the MBS 3000 series documentation for field terminations.
