Siemens Pressure Switches QPLx5

Siemens Pressure Switches QPLx5 are compact pressure switches designed for monitoring gas and air pressure in gas-fired burner systems. They feature an adjustable switching point, automatic reset, pressure ranges up to 50 kPa, and IP54 protection, making them suitable for industrial combustion and gas control applications.

Product Description

Siemens QPLx5 Pressure Switches for Gas and Air Systems

Siemens QPLx5 pressure switches provide reliable pressure supervision for gas-fired burner installations. These devices monitor gas or air pressure and activate an electrical switching contact whenever the measured pressure crosses a preset threshold, helping support safe and consistent burner operation.

Each unit incorporates an adjustable pressure switching setting with automatic reset capability. A sturdy plastic enclosure combined with a die-cast aluminum base provides mechanical durability for industrial operating environments.

Key Features

  • Monitors gas and air pressure in burner installations
  • Supports both low-pressure and high-pressure supervision
  • Adjustable pressure switching threshold
  • Automatic reset after pressure conditions return to the specified range
  • Available pressure ranges extending up to 50 kPa, depending on the model
  • IP54-rated enclosure protection
  • Supports horizontal and vertical installation

Applications

Siemens QPLx5 pressure switches are suitable for gas-fired burners, gas trains, industrial combustion control equipment, and gas pressure monitoring systems where dependable pressure supervision is required.
