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.
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 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 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.
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:
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
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
