Frost detectors QAF63.2-JQAF63.6-J for use on the air side • Active capillary tube sensor for acquiring the lowest temperature within a range of 0...15 °C • Operating voltage AC 24 V • Signal output DC 0...10 V

Use On the air side of ventilation and air conditioning plants:  Typically: hot water air heating coils where there is a risk of freezing due to cold incoming outside air  Where fans are to be switched off, heating valves opened, air dampers closed or other actions need to be taken by the control system to prevent freeze-ups Functions Technical design With the help of a vapor-filled capillary tube and diaphragm, the QAF63.. acquires the lowest temperature which occurs along at least 250 mm length of capillary tubing. If the frost detector is correctly located at the air outlet of the air heating...

Notes Engineering The frost detector operates on AC 24 V. The transformer used must be suitable for safety extra low voltage (SELV), 100% duty, and must have separate windings. Fuses, switches, wiring and earthing must be in compliance with local safety regulations. The permissible cable lengths must be observed. If the capillary tube is mechanically damaged or if there is a leak in the diaphragm system, the frost detector signals a temperature of 0 °C. That is the case also if there is a power failure or if one of the major electronic components fails. Mounting Mounting location On the hot side...
