The Siemens QFM3171 is a high-precision duct sensor designed for use in ventilation and air conditioning systems, where accurate and responsive measurement of relative humidity and temperature is essential. This sensor is engineered to provide very high measuring accuracy across the entire humidity range of 0 to 100%, making it suitable for a variety of demanding applications. These include storage and production facilities in industries such as paper, textile, pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and electronics, as well as in laboratories, hospitals, computer centres, indoor swimming pools, and greenhouses.
The QFM3171 operates on a supply voltage of DC 13.5 to 35 V and offers a 4 to 20 mA signal output for both humidity and temperature measurements. Its robust design ensures reliable performance in a range of environmental conditions, with a temperature operating range of -40 to +70°C for the sensor itself. The unit is also equipped with a field-replaceable sensor tip, which simplifies maintenance and ensures long-term accuracy and reliability.
Installation of the QFM3171 is straightforward, with clear instructions for securing the sensor within the ductwork to ensure optimal airflow and accurate readings. The sensor's compact and durable construction, combined with its high level of precision, makes it an excellent choice for building automation systems and for ensuring optimal climate control in critical environments.
