Repair and Maintenance
PCB guarantees Total Customer Satisfaction through its
“Lifetime Warranty Plus” on all Platinum Stock Products
sold by PCB and through its limited warranties on all other
PCB Stock, Standard and Special products. Due to the
sophisticated nature of our sensors and associated
instrumentation, field servicing and repair is not
recommended and, if attempted, will void the factory
warranty.
Beyond routine calibration and battery replacements
where applicable, our products require no user
maintenance. Clean electrical connectors, housings, and
mounting surfaces with solutions and techniques that will
not harm the material of construction. Observe caution
when using liquids near devices that are not hermetically
sealed. Such devices should only be wiped with a
dampened cloth—never saturated or submerged.
In the event that equipment becomes damaged or ceases
to operate, our Application Engineers are here to support
your troubleshooting efforts 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. Call or email with model and serial number as well
as a brief description of the problem.
Calibration
Routine calibration of sensors and associated
instrumentation is necessary to maintain measurement
accuracy. We recommend calibrating on an annual basis,
after exposure to any extreme environmental influence,
or prior to any critical test.
PCB Piezotronics is an ISO-9001 certified company whose
calibration services are accredited by A2LA to ISO/IEC
17025, with full traceability to SI through N.I.S.T. In
addition to our standard calibration services, we also offer
specialized tests, including: sensitivity at elevated or
cryogenic temperatures, phase response, extended high
or low frequency response, extended range, leak testing,
hydrostatic pressure testing, and others. For more
information, contact your local PCB Piezotronics
distributor, sales representative, or factory customer
service representative.
Returning Equipment
If factory repair is required, our representatives will
provide you with a Return Material Authorization (RMA)
number, which we use to reference any information you
have already provided and expedite the repair process.
This number should be clearly marked on the outside of
all returned package(s) and on any packing list(s)
accompanying the shipment.

Model 8180
Manual – 51291 Rev. NR ECO: 36830
The 8180 single channel telemetry system utilizes an inductive electricity supply.
Avoid having combustible material in the area of the inductive head.
The power oscillator is regulated according to power usage.
With high power demand the inductive head can become hot to the touch, up to 60°C/140°F.
With high power use the Control Unit can become warm to touch and should be located in a well
ventilated area.
Potential heath hazard for heart pacemakers.
The inductive supply system generates a magnetic field.
Heart pacemakers and other sensitive medical devices should stay clear of the magnetic field. This
area is 50cm/20” around the inductive head.
Potential Burn Hazard.
Avoid metallic objects in and around the active magnetic field. Such as rings, chains and other metallic
jewelry. These objects become very hot and burn the skin.
Electrical Shock Hazard.
The Control Unit should not be opened except by authorized service personal. High voltages of up to
400V pp can be found in the Control Unit and stator head cable. Any damaged or frayed stator cables
should be discarded and replaced immediately as they may pose a shock hazard.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the rotor electronics and antenna are properly installed on
the shaft.
Components not correctly mounted may come loose during operation and cause injury to personnel
and damages to components and property.

Model 8180
Manual – 51291 Rev. NR ECO: 36830
Important Installation Tips!
8180 Installation
All cable connections should be done with the power off.
Only apply power to the Control unit with a stator head connected, otherwise damage to the Control
Unit may occur.
If the inductive head is placed on a metallic surface with the power on, the power oscillator will produce
maximum power. While there is circuitry to prevent the system from being damaged for a short period
of time, this must be avoided.
The inductive head should be fastened to a non-metallic plate or bracket.
If a metallic bracket is used the stator should be isolated from the metal by more than 5 mm of a non
metallic material such as rubber or plastic.
Mounting the stator near or on metal could produce unnecessary warming of the stator head and cause
damage to the system. Every attempt should be made to keep a metal free area around the stator head
for best operation.
The installation of the 8180 single channel telemetry system requires the rotor electronics and antenna
be mounted in such a way they do not come loose during operation.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the components of the 8180 single channel telemetry
system are properly installed.
Knowledge of basic soldering techniques is required.
Soldering should be preformed using a regulated soldering iron. The recommended temperature setting
is 400 °C / 752 °F.
