5. Installing Sensor
Ensure all sensor hole and threads are clean•
A chamfered cable channel or cable hole prevents•
damaged cables
5.1 Sensor Installation with Mounting Nut Type 6457
Install sensor into hole with extraction tool Type 1315A.
Lightly tighten mounting nut Type 6457 with socket wrench
Type 1383. Do not over tighten; sensor may not be pre-
loaded. Ensure a clearance of 0,01 … 0,03 mm.
8. Functional Test
On completion of mold assembly, test sensor insulation and
sensitivity.
Ensure that connector is dry•
Use cleaning spray Type 1003•
8.1 Insulation Test
Use insulation tester Type 5493 to check sensor insulation.
Resistance >1013 Ω.
8.2 Sensor Functional Check
Test the sensitivity of the installed sensor using Test Set Type
5993A1.
Approx. measured value: ±8 % of sensitivity as stated cali-
bration sheet or identification plate.
9. Service and Repair
Piezoelectric pressure sensors are maintenance-free. Insulation
and sensitivity of the installed sensor should, however, be
checked after each molding run.
Ensure that connector is dry•
Cover sensor hole during cleaning•
Use cleaning spray Type 1003•
9.1 Insulation Test
Use insulation tester Type 5493 to check sensor insulation.
Resistance >1013 Ω.
9.2 Sensor Functional Check
Test the sensitivity of the installed sensor using Test Set Type
5993A1.
Approx. measured value: ±8 % of sensitivity as stated cali-
bration sheet or identification plate.
9.3 Removing Sensor
Remove sensor with extraction tool Type 1315A or use a flat
ejector pin to press on the sensor front.
Do not use a hammer on the sensor front•
Do not use a sharp center punch•
9.4 Cable Repair
Damaged cables cannot be repaired. Replacement cable Type
2219B... can be ordered from Kistler local sales office.
Fragile contacts, remove cable only for repair•

9.6 Disposal Instructions for Electrical and Electronic
Equipment
Do not discard old electronic instruments in
municipal trash. For disposal at end of life,
please return this product to an authorized
local electronic waste disposal service or
contact the nearest Kistler Instrument sales
office for return instructions.
Do not preload sensor•
Take care not to wrap single-wire cable around•
socket wrench
Use extraction tool Type 1315A to install sensor•
Use socket wrench Type 1383 to tighten mounting•
nut
5.2 Sensor Installation with Spacer Sleeve Type 6459
Install sensor into hole with extraction tool Type 1315A or
directly with spacer sleeve.
5.2.1 Machining Spacer Sleeve
Cut spacer sleeve so that it has an overlength of 2 … 3 mm.
Place sensor and sleeve into hole and determine exact length,
ensuring a clearance of 0,01 … 0,03 mm. Sleeve must be
ground so the end is square and planar. Remove any burrs.
For multi-cavity applications each spacer sleeve should be
numbered and allocated to a sensor.
5.2.2 Spacer Sleeve and Retaining Plate
Install sensor and spacer sleeve. Ensure a clearance of 0,01 …
0,03 mm.
Sensor may not be preloaded when assembling the mold.
Do not preload sensor•
Use extraction tool Type 1315A to install sensor•
For multi-cavity applications each spacer sleeve•
should be numbered

6.1.1 Cut/Grip Connection
Cut the single-wire cable to length and do not strip the
insulation. Loosen the knurled connector by hand without
removing the rear section.
When using the temperature amplifier Type 2205A... strip
thermocouple cables. Attach green cable (+) to terminal and
white cable to (–) terminal.
Installation of Connector Type 1839 and Mounting Plate
Installation of Multi-Channel Connector Type 1708A... and
Temperature Amplifier Type 2205A...
This installation is for sensor Types 6190CAG... and 6833A02...
only: A typical installation uses up to 4 sensors.
Assemble 4-channel connector and temperature amplifier in
adapter plate Type 5700A25 and then install in the recess.
6.1.2 Installing Single-Wire Connector and Temperature Con-
nector with Mounting Plate
Install connector and mounting plate in recess. Attach cap
using one of the screws. Place caps on open connectors.
Take care not to damage the gray single-wire cable•
when stripping the green sensor cable sheath
Use sheath stripper Type 1367 to remove green•
sheathing
Refer to Instruction leaflet 002-450•
6. Cable and Connector Installation
Check again that edges of cable duct are chamfered•
Use a metal plate to cover open channels•
Attach cap and place on connector•
6.1 Single-Wire Technique
Single-wire cable must be completely enclosed in•
the mould
Single-wire cable may not be ducted together with•
power cables
Ensure that all contact surfaces and threads are clean•
and dry
7. Installing Identification Plate
Rivet plate to side of mold or fit with four M2,5 screws.
