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.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The series of miniature pressure sensors described by
this operating guide is designed for low pressure, high
resolution applications and features acceleration
compensation.
Uses include monitoring of low pressure hydraulic
and pneumatic phenomena in the presence of shock
and vibration such as on jet engines, compressors,
turbines and other operating machinery, high intensity
sound and turbulence measurements, and many other
industrial R & D applications.
2.0 DESCRIPTION
This series is comprised of six sensor models having
high sensitivities, but differing in mechanical
configuration.

Typical ICPProbe Style Sensor
Each model utilizes the basic ICPpressure probe as
shown in above figure. The pressure probe consists of
the Model 112A high sensitivity acceleration-
compensated quartz element and an IC source
follower amplifier joined together as an inseparable
assembly.
Refer to "General Guide to ICPInstrumentation" G-
0001B for a complete treatment of the ICPconcept.
Models 112A21, 112A22 and 112A23 are in the
basic probe configuration as shown in Figure 1, and
are installed with a hollow clamp nut with 5/16-24
external threads. The housings of these models are at
electrical ground potential.
Series 111: Probe Style Sensor
The Model 102A05 utilizes the same basic pressure
probe, mounted in a 3/8-24 threaded mounting
adaptor with shoulder seal. The probe is assembled
into the adaptor at the factory in an "off ground"
configuration, i.e., the probe body is electrically
insulated from the external mounting adaptor body.
Do not attempt to disassemble probe and adaptor.

Models 102A02, 102A07, and 102A09 utilize the
same inner probe design but in a 3/8-24 threaded
adaptor with floating clamp nut to allow adjustment
of diaphragm depth where it is necessary to adapt to
various wall thicknesses. These models are supplied
only in low pressure (100 and 50 psi) versions and
are also "off ground".

3.0 INSTALLATION
This manual contains outline and installation
information for your specific model in this series.
Prepare mounting ports in accordance with the
installation drawing for the specific model, paying
particular attention to sealing surfaces. These
surfaces must be smooth and free from chatter marks,
nicks and other irregularities which could preclude a
pressure-tight seal.
Seals are provided with each sensor and should
always be used. Extra seals for all standard models
are in stock at the factory. Replace seals when they
become unserviceable.
In some cases, e.g., where flash temperatures such as
those generated by combustion processes are present,
it may be necessary to thermally insulate the
diaphragm to minimize spurious signals generated by
these effects.
Common black vinyl electrical tape has been found to
be an effective insulating material in many cases.
One or more layers may be used across the end of the
diaphragm without affecting response or sensitivity.
A silicone rubber coating approximately .010" thick
has also been proven effective in many applications.
General Electric RTV type 106 silicone rubber is
recommended. Apply the rubber coating and allow to
cure in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Although ICPsensors have low output impedance
and in general are not affected by moisture, in
extreme environments it is good practice to protect
cable connections with shrink tubing.
It is not necessary to use low-noise coaxial cable with
this sensor series. In fact, a Model 070A09 solder
connector adaptor that allows the use of ordinary two-
wire cable is desired.
4.0 OPERATION
It is only necessary to supply the sensor with a 2 to 20
mA constant current at +20 to +30 VDC through a
current-regulating diode or equivalent circuit. (See
Guide G-0001B for powering and signal utilization
information pertaining to all ICPinstrumentation).
Most of the signal conditioners manufactured by PCB
have an adjustable current feature allowing a choice
of input currents from 2 to 20 mA. In general, for
lowest noise (best resolution) choose the low current
ranges and for driving long cables (to several
thousand feet) use the higher current, up to 20 mA
maximum.
To operate system using a PCB signal conditioner:
1. Switch power on.
2. Wait several minutes for the IC amplifier to turn
on and stabilize.
3. Proceed with measurements.
4.1 OPERATINGCONSIDERATION
FOR MODEL 112A23
The Model 112A23 features a low-noise amplifier
which, based on a peak-to-peak broadband noise
factor of 50 V, results in a resolution of .001 psi.

Drawing Number: 21070
Revision: NR
OPERATION MANUAL FOR
ICP® PRESSURE SENSORS
Models 102A02, A05, A07, A09
Models 112A21, A22, A23
3
Defined for practical purposes as the minimum
readout signal, the resolution is based on the
sensitivity of 50 mV/psi and a low noise amplifier of
50 V peak noise.
Thus, 50 V/50mV = .001 psi resolution
The output bias voltage of the Model 112A23 is 5.0
volts, half the bias voltage of most PCB pressure
sensors. This will cause the bias monitor meter on
PCB power supplies to read at the low end of the
green band.
5.0 POLARITY
This sensor series produces a positive-going output
voltage for increasing pressure input.
6.0 LOW FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The low frequency response of an ICPsystem is
determined by:
1. The discharge time constant of the sensor,
and,
2. If AC-coupled at power unit, the coupling
time constant.
Consult Section 7.0 in Guide G-0001B for detailed
explanation of low frequency characteristics of ICP
instruments.
7.0 CALIBRATION
Piezoelectric sensors are dynamic devices, but static
calibration methods may be employed if discharge
time constants are sufficiently long. Generally, static
methods are not employed below several hundred
seconds discharge time constant.
To employ static methods, directly couple the sensor
to the DVM readout using a T-connector from the
XDCR jack or use the Model 484B in the "calibrate"
mode. Apply pressure with dead weight tester and
take readings quickly. Release pressure after each
calibration point.
For the shorter discharge time constant series, a rapid
pressure step must be generated by a pneumatic
pressure pulse calibrator or dead weight tester and
readout is by recorder or storage oscilloscope.
PCB offers a complete recalibration service. Consult
factory for details.
