PCB Piezotronics ICP 124A21 Operation Manual

The information contained in this document supersedes all similar information that
may be found elsewhere in this manual.
Service – Due to the sophisticated
nature of the sensors and associated
instrumentation provided
Piezotronics, user servicing or repair is
not recommended and, if attempted,
may void the factory warranty. Routine
maintenance, such as the cleaning of
electrical connectors, housings, and
mounting surfaces with solutions and
techniques that will not harm the
physical material of construction, is
acceptable. Caution should be observed
to ensure that liquids are not permitted
to migrate into devices that are not
hermetically sealed.
should only be wiped with a dampened
cloth and never submerged or have
liquids poured upon them.
Repair – In the event that equipment
becomes damaged
operate, arrangements should be made
to return the equipment
Piezotronics for repair. User servicing or
repair is not recommended and, if
attempted, may
warranty.
Calibration – Routine calibration of
sensors and associated instrumentation
is recommended as this helps build
confidence in measurement accuracy
and acquired
calibration cycles
established by the users own quality
regimen. When in doubt about a
calibration cycle, a good "rule of thumb"
is to recalibrate on an annual basis. It is

also good practice to recalibrate after
exposure to any severe temperature
extreme, shock,
environmental influence, or prior to any
critical test.
PCB Piezotronics maintains an ISO-
9001 certified metrology laboratory and
offers calibration services, which are
accredited by A2LA to ISO/IEC 17025,
with full traceability to SI through
N.I.S.T. In addition to the normally
supplied calibration, special testing is
also available, such as: sensitivity at
elevated or cryogenic temperatures,
phase response, extended high or low
frequency response, extended range,
leak testing, hydrostatic
testing, and others. For information on
standard recalibration
special testing, contact your local PCB
Piezotronics distributor,
representative, or
service representative.
