Siemens Compact Pressure Switches QPL

Siemens QPLx5 compact pressure switches provide reliable gas and air pressure supervision for gas-fired burners and gas trains. Designed for both minimum and maximum pressure detection, these devices feature an adjustable switching threshold and automatic reset operation. With a maximum permissible operating pressure of 72 kPa and an IP54 protection rating, the QPLx5 series is suitable for industrial combustion equipment and gas control installations.

Product Description

Siemens QPLx5 Compact Pressure Switches for Gas and Air Pressure Control

Siemens QPLx5 compact pressure switches are engineered to supervise gas and air pressure in gas supply trains and gas-fired burner installations. When the monitored pressure crosses the selected switching threshold, the device interrupts or changes over the associated electrical circuit, allowing the connected system to respond to pressure conditions.

The QPLx5 series offers adjustable pressure switching settings and an automatic reset mechanism. A sturdy plastic enclosure combined with a die-cast aluminum base provides mechanical durability. These devices can be configured for either low-pressure or high-pressure monitoring according to system requirements.
