OPERATION MANUAL FOR
FREE FIELD BLAST PRESSURE PROBE
Models 137B21X, B22X, B23X, B24X
1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Series 137B2XX Free Field Blast ICP
®
Pressure
Probe is designed for measuring free field blast and
shock tunnel pressure time profiles.
Designed with an ICP
®
built-in source follower
amplifier, the 137B2XX Series offers sensitivities of
1, 20, 10 and 100 mV/psi with full-scale ranges from
0 to 50, 250, 500 or 5000 psi. The 137B2XX Series
is constructed with a stable quartz piezoelectric
element in an Invar housing
2.0 INSTALLATION
In field blast measurements, mount the Series
137B2XX pressure probe in an axial direction to the
blast source. The probes should be elevated high
enough off of the ground such that ground does not
interfere with the measured pressure. See photo 1.
Photo 1
The sensing surface should be aligned in a vertical
plane with respect to the ground as shown in photo 2.
Avoiding direct exposure of the diaphragm to
sunlight is good practice so that changing
temperatures throughout a test day do not change the
sensitivity of the sensor. In any case care must be
taken such that the sensor’s diaphragm is not oriented
down to avoid ground reflections.
In some cases, where flash temperatures such as those
generated by blasts and shock fronts are present, it
may be necessary to thermally insulate the diaphragm
to minimize signals generated by these effects.
Photo 2
Common black vinyl electrical tape has been found to
be an effective thermal insulating material in many
cases. One layer may be used across the end of
diaphragm and adaptor. See photo 3.
Photo 3
A silicone rubber coating approximately 0.010 inch
(0.25 mm) thick has also been proven effective in
many applications. General Electric RTV type 106 is
recommended (PCB Model 065A67). Apply the
rubber coating to the surface of the diaphragm and
allow it to cure in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
3.0 OPERATION
Using suitable cable, connect the sensor to one of
PCB's Series 480, 481, 482, 483, or 484 signal
conditioners or equivalent power supply. If using a
PCB line power unit, the equipment will supply the
137B2XX with an adjustable 2 to 20 mA constant
current at +22 to +30 VDC through a current-
regulating circuit. If using a battery-operated unit,
the constant current is 2 mA. See Guide G-0001 for
powering and signal utilization information pertinent
to all ICP
®
instrumentation.

Revision: NR
ECO#: 39372
OPERATION MANUAL FOR
FREE FIELD BLAST PRESSURE PROBE
Models 137B21X, B22X, B23X, B24X
2
Switch power on and observe reading of bias
monitoring voltmeter on front panel of signal
conditioner.
If indicator is in green section of indicator panel, the
IC amplifier is producing proper bias (8 to 14 VDC),
the cable connections are normal, and the system is
ready to operate.
If the pointer moves into the red area of the fault
monitor meter, output is zero and a short is indicated.
The short could be located in amplifier cable
connectors or 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. Check
to be sure connectors are properly mated. Some PCB
power units feature fault LEDs in place of a fault
meter. Instead of a pointer, the fault LED will light
when an open or short circuit condition is present.
Allow the sensor to thermally stabilize for about one
minute. A signal drift may occur when the cable is
connected to the readout instrument. This drift
occurs during charging of the coupling capacitor in
the power unit. The signal will stabilize in several
minutes. Proceed with measurements.
Most line-powered signal conditioners manufactured
by PCB have an adjustable current feature allowing a
choice of input currents from 2 to 20 mA. In general,
for the lowest noise (best resolution), choose the
lower current ranges.
In order to maintain a high frequency response of the
system when driving long cables (to hundreds or
thousands of feet), use a higher current, up to 20 mA
maximum. Use of low-capacitance cable (i.e. RG
62/U) and impedance-matching variable resistors are
suggested to improve long cable performance
characteristics. See Guide G-0001 for a discussion
on cable considerations.
3.1 POLARITY
The 137B2XX Series produces a positive-going
output voltage for increasing pressure output.
4.0 LOW-FREQUENCY RESPONSE
Consult Section 7.0 in General Guide G-0001 for
detailed explanation of low-frequency characteristics
of ICP
®
instrumentation.
5.0 CALIBRATION
Do not try to calibrate the Series 137B2XX statically.
The Series 137B2XX is calibrated dynamically by
PCB using a hydraulic pulse technique.
For best accuracy, use the calibration certificate
supplied. Factory recalibration is available for a
nominal charge.
6.0 MAINTENANCE
Although ICP
®
sensors have low-output impedance
and are not usually affected by moisture, in extremely
damp environments it may be well to protect cable
connections with shrink tubing.
It is well to observe the following precautions in
using the sensor:
1. Do not exceed specified maximum range.
2. Do not subject sensor to temperatures
exceeding temperature shown on specification sheet.
3. Do not apply voltage to sensor without
current-limiting diodes or other current protection.
4. Do not apply more than 20 mA of current to
the sensor.
Field repair of the piezoelectric element or amplifier
of the Series 137B2XX is not practicable. Thus,
should a sensor in this series require servicing, refer
to the warranty sheet.
CAUTIONARY NOTE: If sensors are left outside
overnight, they should be coated with silicone oil and
covered. The protective silicone oil or grease coating
should also be applied when the sensors are operated
in a humid or rainy environment.

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.
