Cylinder Pressure Sensor, Type 7614CG1Q03, 7614CG1Q04 1.1 Disposal Instructions for Electrical and Electronic Equipment Do not discard old electronic instruments in municipal trash. For disposal at end of life, please return this product to an authorized local electronic waste disposal service or contact the nearest Kistler Instrument sales office for return instructions.
Description 2. Description 2.1 Introduction Measuring chain consisting of a life time optimized piezoelectric pressure sensor linked by a robust fluoropolymer cable to a charge amplifier with MIL connector. The rugged design and high temperature resistance allows for flush mounting and enables reliable knock detection.

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.

Avoid mounting at the end of long tubes, it creates pipe ringing and overheating of the sensor Sensor must be tightened according the mounting torque of 25 N·m If there are any question regarding installation please contact Kistler. 7614CG_002-739e-04.16 Page 9...
Cylinder Pressure Sensor, Type 7614CG1Q03, 7614CG1Q04 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.
Installation 3.2.3 Installing the Charge Amplifier Charge amplifier can be fixed with cable strips in the cable channel. Select a location where the temperature does certainly not exceed 120 °C. Route and fix the integrated cable between sensor and charge amplifier so it is protected against mechanical damage.
Operation 4. Operation After 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 3). Warning: If the sensor is mounted in an indicator valve: When the engine is operating do not open the indicator valve for more than 10 seconds at a time as otherwise the sensor may be overheated.
Cylinder Pressure Sensor, Type 7614CG1Q03, 7614CG1Q04 5. Maintenance After installation, the transmitter 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.
