PIEZOELECTRIC CHARGE MODE PRESSURE SENSOR GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL If thermal transients or diaphragm impingement are Cabling concerns, use the flush mount technique only when space or frequency response considerations preclude the Care and attention to cable attachment is essential, as the use of the recess mount installation.
PIEZOELECTRIC CHARGE MODE PRESSURE SENSOR GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL CALIBRATION These sensors may be calibrated using static hydraulic techniques, such as dead-weight testers, or by compar- ison with a reference gage. When calibrating with a laboratory-style charge amplifier, set the charge amplifier to LONG, for the time constant setting, and allow the sensor to stabilize before applying pressure.
PIEZOELECTRIC CHARGE MODE PRESSURE SENSOR GENERAL OPERATION MANUAL Equation 1 HIGH-TEMPERATURE OPERATION Introduction This equation shows that if the input (leakage) resistance at the charge amplifier is extremely high (approaching When subjected elevated temperature, infinity), the output DC voltage approaches e...
