Total Customer Satisfaction –PCB
Piezotronics guarantees Total Customer
Satisfaction. If, at any time, for any
reason, you are not completely satisfied
with any PCB product, PCB will repair,
replace, or exchange it at no charge.
You may also choose to have your
purchase price refunded in lieu of the
repair, replacement, or exchange of the
product.
Service –Due to the sophisticated
nature of the sensors and associated
instrumentation provided by PCB
Piezotronics, user servicing or repair is
not recommended and, if attempted,
may void the factory warranty. Routine
maintenance, such as the cleaning of
electrical connectors, housings, and
mounting surfaces with solutions and
techniques that will not harm the
physical material of construction, is
acceptable. Caution should be observed
to insure that liquids are not permitted to
migrate into devices that are not
hermetically sealed. Such devices
should only be wiped with a dampened
cloth and never submerged or have
liquids poured upon them.
Repair –In the event that equipment
becomes damaged or ceases to
operate, arrangements should be made
to return the equipment to PCB
Piezotronics for repair. User servicing or
repair is not recommended and, if
attempted, may void the factory
warranty.
Calibration –Routine calibration of
sensors and associated instrumentation
is recommended as this helps build
confidence in measurement accuracy
and acquired data. Equipment
calibration cycles are typically
established by the users own quality
regimen. When in doubt about a
calibration cycle, a good “rule of thumb”
is to recalibrate on an annual basis. It is
also good practice to recalibrate after
exposure to any severe temperature
extreme, shock, load, or other
environmental influence, or prior to any
critical test.
PCB Piezotronics maintains an ISO-
9001 certified metrology laboratory and
offers calibration services, which are
accredited by A2LA to ISO/IEC 17025,
with full traceability to SI through
N.I.S.T. In addition to the normally
supplied calibration, special testing is
also available, such as: sensitivity at
elevated or cryogenic temperatures,
phase response, extended high or low
frequency response, extended range,
leak testing, hydrostatic pressure
testing, and others. For information on
standard recalibration services or
special testing, contact your local PCB
Piezotronics distributor, sales
representative, or factory customer
service representative.
Returning Equipment –Following
these procedures will insure that your
returned materials are handled in the
most expedient manner. Before
Warranty, Service, Repair, and
Return Policies and Instructions

returning any equipment to PCB
Piezotronics, contact your local
distributor, sales representative, or
factory customer service representative

OPERATION MANUAL FOR MICROSENSORS
132 Series
1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
132 Series Microsensors are small, piezoelectric
pressure sensors featuring extremely fast response for
measurement of short wavelength pressure pulses.
The short time constant of some models filters off the
longer duration portion of pressure pulses, allowing
differentiation of consecutive pressure pulses.
132 Series Microsensors contain integrated ICP

circuit amplifiers which operate as source followers
and provide very high-frequency response. These
micro-integrated circuit amplifiers convert the high-
impedance voltage from the crystals into low-
impedance voltage of less than 100 ohms.
Output from the microsensors may be coupled
directly into oscilloscopes, recorders and A to D
converters. Power to operate the IC amplifier and the
output signal are conducted over a single conductor,
two-wire cable with the ground serving as signal
return. Special low-noise cables are not required.
The calibrated mV/psi output of these microsensors is
not attenuated nor is noise appreciably increased by
the cable.
2.0 DESCRIPTION
132 Series Microsensors feature small diameter
pressure-sensing surfaces incorporating very small (<
1 mm) piezoelectric sensing elements. The small size
of the sensing elements imparts extremely fast
response time to the microsensors.
The charge generated by deflection of the
piezoelectric element when subjected to shock
pressures creates a voltage on the input capacitance at
the gate of the microsensor ICP

amplifier. The
amplifier, in conjunction with the source element,
transforms the input into a low-impedance output
signal of equal amplitude. The DC bias that exists on
the signal lead is removed from the output signal by a
coupling capacitor in the power supply. Resistors in
the internal ICP

amplifiers of the microsensors set
the internal discharge time constant, which
determines the low-frequency response of the
microsensors. (Refer to General Guide to ICP

Instrumentation, G-0001, for complete details.)
Below are the available configurations for the 132
Series Microsensors.

3.0 INSTALLATION
Refer to the installation drawing for details. If the
microsensors are to be subjected to pressures beyond
their specified range, be sure to use backing nuts to
prevent the sensors from backing out of their
mounting ports. (Thread adaptors are available from
PCB to facilitate mounting.)
Connect the microsensors to an ICP

power supply.
Use standard two-conductor cable between the sensor
and the ICP

power unit.
Next, connect the power unit to a readout device, e.g.,
oscilloscope, recorder or high-speed A to D
converter.
4.0 OPERATION
Switch the ICP

power unit on and observe reading of
bias-monitoring voltmeter on front panel of power
unit.
If indicator is in green section of indicator panel, the
IC amplifier is providing proper bias (normally +11
VDC), cable connections are normal and the system
is ready to operate.
If the needle moves to the red area of the fault
monitor meter, output is zero and a short is indicated.
The short could be located in the amplifier cable
connectors or in the power unit.
If the pointer moves into the yellow area of the fault
monitor meter, an open circuit is indicated with full
power supply voltage. An open circuit could be the
result of a faulty amplifier, an open cable or open
connectors.
Allow the sensor to thermally stabilize for about one
minute. A signal drift may occur when the output
cable is connected to the readout instrument.
The drift occurs during charging of the coupling
capacitor in the power unit. The signal will stabilize
in several minutes.

4.1 OPERATION BEYOND RANGE
SPECIFICATION
Because 132 Series Microsensors can be installed
using RTV-like potting materials to hold them in
place, maximum pressure specifications are given to
prevent the sensors from being extruded from the
mounting holes. Static or slow dynamic
overpressures are more apt to cause a problem than a
short dynamic shock pulse. Use of backing nuts will
minimize the possibility of a problem.
The microsensors are capable of responding to
dynamic overpressures up to ten times the specified
range. The output will be “clipped” (look flat-topped
on the readout) after about 10 volts.
The initial rise of the output will be accurate up to the
point of clipping. This can allow for an accurate
time-of-arrival measurement, even though the peak
pressure cannot be measured.
5.0 CALIBRATION
A shock tube is used to calibrate the microsensors.
6.0 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Except for repair of wires, the microsensors are not
field-repairable. In case of serious malfunction,
contact the PCB at [phone].
It is well to observe the following precautions in
using the microsensors:
1. Do not exceed specified pressure levels without
proper mounting.
2. Do not subject microsensors to temperatures
exceeding 174 °F (79 °C).
3. Do not apply voltage to sensors without current-
limiting diodes or other current protection. (PCB
ICP

power supplies feature proper voltage and
current protection.)
4. Do not apply more than 20 mA of current to the
microsensors.
