1. Product Overview
TheDanfoss Flat Head High Pressure Sensoris a high-pressure sensor designed by Danfoss, featuring a flat-head interface for compact integration in space-constrained hydraulic or pneumatic systems. Utilizing piezoresistive or thin-film sensing technology, it converts high-pressure signals into standard electrical outputs (e.g., 4-20mA, 0-10V, or digital signals) for real-time pressure monitoring, ensuring equipment safety and operational efficiency.
Key Features:
• Flat-Head Design: Low-profile interface for easy integration into tight mechanical assemblies.
• High-Pressure Tolerance: Supports pressure ranges up to 0-600 bar or higher (model-dependent).
• High Accuracy & Stability: Linear error ≤ ±0.5% FS, with excellent long-term stability.
• Robust Protection: IP67 or IP69K rated for dust and water resistance, suitable for harsh environments.
• Versatile Connectivity: Compatible with M12 connectors, DIN 43650 plugs, or direct wiring.

4. Selection Guide
Key Parameter Matching
1. Pressure Range:
• Select a range slightly higher than the system’s maximum pressure (20% margin).
• Example: System max pressure = 400 bar → Choose 0-600 bar model.
2. Output Signal:
• 4-20mA: Ideal for long-distance transmission (noise-resistant).
• 0-10V: Suitable for short distances or PLC direct input.
• Digital Signal: Requires IO-Link or CAN bus support.
3. Interface Type:
• M12 Connector: Universal, easy plug-and-play.
• DIN 43650: Preferred for explosion-proof environments.
• Direct Leads: Custom installation requirements.
4. Environmental Adaptability:
• High Temperature: Select models rated ≥125°C.
• Corrosive Media: Opt for stainless steel housing + ceramic sensing.
Typical Model Examples
• MPA Series: General-purpose high-pressure sensor, 0-600 bar, 4-20mA output.
• DST Series: Digital sensor with IO-Link support for Industry 4.0.
• HCS Series: Ultra-high-pressure model (0-1000 bar) for hydraulic test benches.

5. Installation & Maintenance
Installation Tips
• Orientation: Avoid downward installation (prevents condensation buildup).
• Thread Sealing: Use metal gaskets or PTFE tape (as specified by model).
• Electrical Grounding: Ensure reliable grounding of the sensor housing (ESD protection).
Maintenance Recommendations
• Periodic Calibration: Recalibrate every 12 months using a standard pressure source.
• Interface Cleaning: Prevent oil or debris from entering the thread port.
• Overload Prevention: Never exceed the burst pressure rating.
