Installation of the sensor 3. Installation of the sensor 3.1 General information To ensure that the sensors function properly, it is essen- tial that you follow the instructions in the operating instruc- tions and adhere to their guidelines. A poor sensor mounting hole can result in large zero point shifts, changes in sensitivity or, in extreme cases, destruction of the sensor.

Installation of the sensor Step 2 Bore 3.05mm with limit plug gauge, check thread with thread gauge. Step 3 Coat the thread and sealing surface of the sensor with a little copper paste, Molykote or high-temperature grease. Step 4 Screw the sensor into the hole by hand. When screwing in the sensor, ensure that it moves smoothly until the sealing surfaces meet.
Miniature melt pressure sensor Type 4004A... 4. Signal converter The signal converter has a maximum operating tempera- ture of 75 °C. The installation location should therefore be selected in such a way that the signal converter cannot overheat. 4.1 Electrical connections Signal converter output Signal Cable color Exct GND (-)
Signal converter 4.2 Taring the pressure outlets The 4004 is equipped with an automatic tare function. This performs a tare every time the sensor is deener- gized after the electronics have booted up (approx. 30 seconds). The currently measured pressure is thus set to 0 bar.
4193Q03. As a result, a new seal Mat. No. 55189010 must be inserted. We recom- mend having the seal fitted by a Kistler repair center in order to guarantee its correct fit and tested tightness. Page 14...
Operation 5.3 Replacement of a sensor Type 4004... The sensors of Type 4004... electrodes can only be replaced as a whole (sensor with signal converter). Using a sensor on a signal converter that does not have the same serial number leads to considerable measurement inaccuracy.führt zu erheblichen Messungenauigkeit.
