Differential Pressure QBE3000-D..

Sensor QBE3100-D..
for neutral and mildly corrosive liquids and gases

Differential pressure sensor, suitable for gases or liquids, for the measurement of
pressure differentials in HVAC systems.
• Measuring system based on ceramic lever technology
• Robust construction for highly reliable operation
• For neutral and mildly corrosive liquids and gases
• Supply voltage AC 24 V / DC 18-33 V or DC 11-33 V
• DC 0...10 V output signal or DC 4-20 mA
• Male-threaded G1/8" connection
• Delivery includes 2 screwed fittings for copper pipes, 6 mm diameter

Use

The differential pressure sensor is particularly suitable for use in HVAC systems for
continuous monitoring of the level or flow rate of neutral or mildly corrosive gases or
liquids.
The sensor can be used as:
• Control sensor
• Measured value transmitter for building automation and control systems

Compatibility

The QBE64-DP4 differential pressure sensors can be used in conjunction with all
devices or systems capable of processing the DC 0-10 V or DC 4-20 mA output signal.

Technology

The pressure to be monitored acts on a ceramic sensor element. The ceramic element
has the following significant advantages
• Very low susceptibility to temperature
• Resistance to high temperature
• No mechanical ageing or creepage

The sensor signal is linearised, temperature-compensated and amplified by the sensor

electronics.

Mechanical design

The differential pressure sensor comprises the following:

• Sensor cover with DIN 175301-803-A connecting cable and gland
• Pressure sensor casing with ceramic element, screw connections and purging points
• Printed circuit board
• Pressure connections G1.8“, external threaded with unscrewed fittings for copper
pipe, 6 mm diameter
• Fixing bracket, enclosed loose, with sensor
• Plug DIN 175301-803-A unattached

Accessories

AQB2002 Mounting kit for remote mounting with 1 m

copper capillary line, both ends prefabri-
cated ready for connection.
Thread adapters and terminal nuts made
of brass. Pressure connection with G1/8“
or G1/2“ outer threading.

Mounting instructions

Mounting instructions are enclosed with the differential pressure sensor.

The QBE64-DP4 sensor can be connected directly with R1/8" screwed fittings. Special
precautions must be taken on site when mounting the sensors to ensure airtight screw
connections.

Recommended • Use standard T-fittings or drill and de-bur measuring holes, each 5 mm diameter, for
measures the pressure tapping points (A).
• An isolating bypass (5) can be fitted, to avoid overloading the pressure sensor on one
side while making adjustments.
• For inspection purposes, measuring circuits can be fitted with a measuring-T at the
sensor head.

Important note Mounting for use with liquids:

• Always mount the sensor lower than the pressure measuring points
• Mount on a vibration-free surface
• Always evacuate the system

Remote mounting For remote mounting, the sensor can be operated together with the AQB pressure
mounting kit in ambient temperatures of up to 70 °C for medium temperatures of up to
180 °C. Care must be taken in this case to ensure that the cooling efficiency of the
copper pipe is not reduced by additional heat sources or by restrictions to the air circu-
lation.
