6.5 mA (at dynamic pressure 0 bar). The output is ac-coupled, so static pressure measurements are not possible. Type 7614CG1 has a time constant >10 s and is recommended for medium speed engines. Type 7614CG2 has a time constant >110s and is recommended for low speed engines.
Description 2.3 Working principle The cylinder pressure is acting on the diaphragm. The diaphragm converts the pressure in proportional force on the sensor element. The piezoelectric sensor element converts the force into a charge. The charge is converted by a charge amplifier into a current. The complete measuring chain is designed for easy operation and very long life time.

Cylinder Pressure Sensor, Type 7614CG1/CG2 3.2 Recommended Mounting Fig. 4a: Mounting bore for conical sealing Fig. 4b: Mounting bore for shoulder sealing Mounting torque: 25 ±5 N·m Mounting torque: 25 ±5 N·m 3.2.1 Sealing A leak proof mounting of the sensor is essential to prevent overheating of the sensor by leaking hot gases.
3.2.4 Cable between charge amplifier and data acquisition unit We recommend using cable type 1700B69A…, which is available in different lengths (for more detailed infor- mation see datasheet of Type 7614CG1/CG2, doc. no. 003-044). This cable can be made by the user. Use a shielded cable;...
Operation 4. Operation After the starting up the engine check for any gas leakage at once. If there is any gas leaking out, stop the engine and rectify the mounting to achieve a complete sealing (see chapter 5). Warning: If the sensor is mounted in an indicator valve: When the engine is operating do not open the indicator valve for more than one working circle as otherwise the sensor may be overheated.
Cylinder Pressure Sensor, Type 7614CG1/CG2 5. Maintenance After installation, the sensor needs no maintenance. Do not use a steam or high-pressure cleaner for cleaning purposes. Never use wire brushes, screw drivers or any other sharp pointed instrument for cleaning the diaphragm.
Trouble shooting 6. Trouble shooting In case the sensor does not give a proper output signal, please disconnect the cable for a couple of seconds and connect it again. The amplifier works with a so-called time constant to ensure a reliable signal without drift, because of this time constant it can happen that the sensor is out of range for a short while.
