GENERAL INFORMATION
TruStability
Standard Accuracy Silicon Ceramic (SSC) Series are
piezoresistive silicon pressure sensors offering a digital output
for reading pressure over the specified full scale pressure span
and temperature range. They are available in standard
pressure ranges from 1 psi to 150 psi (60 mbar to 10 bar) and
are intended for use with non-corrosive, non-ionic gases, such
as air and other dry gases. The liquid media option extends the
performance of these sensors to con-corrosive, non-ionic
liquids.

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
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.

CLEANING
CAUTION
IMPROPER CLEANING
• Ensure cleaning fluids, such as appropriate alcohols or
fluorinated solvents, are used based on the type of
contaminants to be removed.
• Do not immerse the sensor.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result in
product damage.

Notes:
1. Life may vary depending on specific application in which the sensor is utilized.
2. Absolute maximum ratings are the extreme limits the device will withstand without damage.
3. Ratiometricity of the sensor (the ability of the digital device to maintain performance parameters independent of supply voltage) is achieved
within the specified operating voltage for each option. Other custom supply voltages are available, please contact Honeywell Customer
Service.
4. The sensor is not reverse polarity protected. Incorrect application of supply voltage or ground to the wrong pin may cause electrical failure.
5. The compensated temperature range is the temperature range over which the sensor will produce an output proportional to pressure within
the specified performance limits.
6. The operating temperature range is the temperature range over which the sensor will produce an output proportional to pressure but may not
remain within the specified performance limits.
7. 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.
8. Total Error Band: The maximum deviation from the ideal transfer function over the entire compensated temperature and pressure range.
Includes all errors due to offset, full scale span, pressure non-linearity, pressure hysteresis, repeatability, thermal effect on offset, thermal
effect on span, and thermal hysteresis.
9. Full Scale Span (FSS) is the algebraic difference between the output signal measured at the maximum (Pmax.) and minimum (Pmin.) limits of
the pressure range. (See figure 1 for ranges).
