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.

SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF USE: YES as shown below:
The equipment covered by this certificate are PCB Pressure Sensors with strain gage sensing elements and built-in electronics. The
equipment provides a 4-20mA current output when subjected to mechanical motion (pressure). These sensors are designed to be energy
limited. The equipment rating is 28 VDC. The equipment entity parameter ratings for 'ia' are Ui = 28V, Ii = 100mA, Pi = 0.65W, Ci = 0F, Li =
2.4μH.
•
•
•
The specific conditions for protection method “ia” is that a protected apparatus must only be connected to certified associated intrinsically
safe equipment and this combination must be compatible regarding intrinsic safety rules.
The specific conditions for protection method “nA” is connected cable and the connector must provide a minimum ingress protection of
IP54, when assessed according to IEC 60079-0 and IEC 60079-15. Unused connector must be fitted with an appropriately rated blanking
cover.
The end user is to use and Ex certified IP 54 minimum plug with the socket.
