Installation Instructions for
180PC Pressure Sensors
PK 88621
GENERAL INFORMATION
180PC pressure sensors provide output
voltage proportional to pressure applied.
They operate from a single, positive
supply voltage ranging from 7 to 16 VDC.
Signal conditioning results in directly
usable outputs; temperature compensation
results in predictable performance over
specified temperature ranges.
MEASURAND COMPATIBILITY
P1 Port: Dry gasses only (active side of
IC.)
P2 Port: Wetted materials are polyester,
epoxy adhesive, and silicon bonded to
borosilicate glass with an electrostatic
bond.
Sensor Type
Absolute (A)
Differential (D)
Gage (G)
Measurand Applied To:
P1 port only
P1 and P2 ports
P2 port only
Damage may result from reversal of supply and ground connections.
SOLDERING
Limit soldering to 315°C (600°F) maxi-
mum, with 10 seconds maximum duration.
PRESSURE REFERENCE
Absolute
pressure is measured with re-
spect to a vacuum reference.
PRESSURE REFERENCE (Differential,
Gage)
CLEANING
Proper cleaning fluids should be selected
based on the type of contaminant to be
removed. MICRO SWITCH recommends
use of alcohols and fluorinated solvents.
Differential
pressure transducers apply
P1 to the active (connection) side of the
chip, and P2 to the passive side
Gage
pressure is measured with respect
to atmospheric (room) pressure reference.
MOUNTING
Terminal mount:
Double sided tape
between sensor and printed circuit board
increases mounting strength in high
vibration and mechanical shock condi-
tions.
Housing mount:
Null offset output will
shift less than 25 mV (at 8 VDC supply)
when mounting sensor with 4-40, 1/2 inch
long fasteners torqued less than 75 inch
ounces.
PRESSURE REFERENCE (Absolute)
*Reversing the pressure relationship of
184PC or 185PC sensors will cause the
output to saturate below null.
