TruStability® Board Mount
Pressure Sensors:
NSC Series–
Uncompensated/Unamplified
DESCRIPTION
The TruStability NSC Series-Uncompensated/Unamplified is
a piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor offering a ratiometric
analog output for reading pressure over the specified full scale
pressure span and temperature range.
The NSC Series is both unamplified and uncompensated. It
offers infinite resolution on the pressure signal. Frequency
response is limited only by the end user’s system. The sensor
will operate as specified from -40 C to 85 C [-40 F to
185 F].
These products are ideal for those customers who want to do
their own compensation, calibration, and amplification in order
to make use of the maximum resolution of the bare sensor
output, leveraging a custom algorithm required for the
application.
The NSC Series allows customers the flexibility of self-
calibration while still benefiting from the industry-leading
stability, accuracy, and repeatability that the Honeywell
TruStability® Pressure Sensors provide.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS (
=competitive differentiator)
Industry-leading long-term stability: Even after long-term
use and thermal extremes, these sensors perform
substantially better relative to stability than any other
pressure sensor available in the industry today:
Minimizes system calibration needs and maximizes
system performance
Helps support system uptime by eliminating the need to
service or replace the sensor during its application life
Additionally, the NSC Series offers numerous package styles
and mounting options, making it easier for the device
manufacturer to integrate the product into their application.
These sensors measure absolute, differential, and gage
pressures. The absolute versions have an internal vacuum
reference and an output value proportional to absolute
pressure. Differential versions allow application of pressure to
either side of the sensing diaphragm. Gage versions are
referenced to atmospheric pressure and provide an output
proportional to pressure variations from atmosphere.
The NSC Series sensors are intended for use with non-
corrosive, non-ionic gases, such as air and other dry gases
and for non-corrosive, non-ionic liquids. All products are
designed and manufactured according to ISO 9001.
Industry-leading accuracy: Extremely tight accuracy of
±0.25 %FSS BFSL:
Reduces software needed to correct system
inaccuracies, minimizing system design time
Supports system accuracy and warranty requirements
Helps to optimize system uptime

Notes:
1. Absolute maximum ratings are the extreme limits the device will withstand without damage.
2. Ratiometricity of the sensor (the ability of the device output to scale to the supply voltage) is achieved within the specified operating voltage.
3. Incorrect application of supply voltage or ground to the wrong pin may cause electrical failure.
4. The specified temperature range is the temperature range over which the sensor will produce an output proportional to pressure within the
specified performance limits.
5. Accuracy: The maximum deviation in output from a Best Fit Straight Line (BFSL) fitted to the output measured over the pressure range at
25 °C [77 °F]. Includes all errors due to pressure non-linearity, pressure hysteresis, and non-repeatability.
6. Full Scale Span (FSS) is the algebraic difference between the output signal measured at the maximum (P
max.
) and minimum (P
min.
) limits of
the pressure range. (See Figure 1 for ranges.)
7. Life may vary depending on specific application in which sensor is utilized.
8. Contact Honeywell Customer Service for detailed material information.
CAUTION
PRODUCT DAMAGE
Ensure liquid media is applied to Port 1 only; Port 2 is not compatible with liquids.
Ensure liquid media contains no particulates. All TruStability sensors are dead-ended devices. Particulates can
accumulate inside the sensor, causing damage or affecting sensor output.
Recommend that the sensor be positioned with Port 1 facing downwards; any particulates in the system are less likely to
enter and settle within the pressure sensor if it is in this position.
Ensure liquid media does not create a residue when dried; build-up inside the sensor may affect sensor output. Rinsing of a
dead-ended sensor is difficult and has limited effectiveness for removing residue.
Ensure liquid media are compatible with wetted materials. Non-compatible liquid media will degrade sensor performance
and may lead to sensor failure.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in product damage.

Description
Output is proportional to the difference between applied pressure and a built-in reference to vacuum.
Reference pressure is absolute zero pressure (full vacuum).
Output is proportional to the difference between the pressures applied to each port. (Port 1 Port 2)
Reference pressure is Port 1 = Port 2.
Output is proportional to the difference between applied pressure and atmospheric (ambient)
pressure. Reference pressure is atmospheric pressure.
