INTERNAL CIRCUITRY
NOTES
1. Terminals are labeled on the sensor.
2. Input and output share a common
ground.
3. RLmust be greater than or equal to
3000 ohms.
RATIOMETRICITY
Ratiometricityrefersto the output voltage
being directly proportional to supply volt-
age. 160PC sensors in this catalog are
calibrated at 8 VDC supply voltage (ex-
cept 163PC) to provide a 1-6 volt (5 V
Span) output swing. For example, if sup-
ply increases by 50% to12 VDC, the out-
put voltage increased by 50% to 1.5-9
volts (7.5 V Span).
NOTE
The output is not perfectly ratiometric.
See Accuracy specifications for the de-
gree of error.
NULL AND SENSITIVITY
TEMPERATURE SHIFT
Amplified pressure sensor are 100%
tested to insure that the maximum null
and sensitivity temperature shift does not
exceed the specification. The diagram
below illustrates how null and sensitivity
shift relates to temperature. Note that the
maximum shift occurs at temperature ex-
tremes. Therefore, if a sensor is not ex-
posed to the entire temperature range,
the maximum null and sensitivity shift will
actually be less than the value specified.

shiftpertainingtoafewlistings.Maximum
null and sensitivity shift varies from listing
to listing.
