3. Mounting Bore for Sensor
For flat cavity walls, install the sensor at right angles to the
cavity. Erode, mill, or grind H7 mounting bore. Pay attention
to centering and position alignment. Clear thread of any chips.
• Clear mounting bore and thread of any chips
• This sensor cannot be adapted to a curved cavity wall!
• Sensor front must not protrude from the mold wall.
If the cavity walls are not flat, the sensor must be
installed in a with a recess
Quick Start Installation
Cavity Pressure Measuring Chain for RTM Processes with
Front ø9 mm and M12x1
Type 4001A
1. General Information
• Sensor diameter ø9 mm must not be machined
• Sensor front must be clean and free of nicks
• Use recommended mounting tool only
• Do not pull the sensor out of the mounting bore by
the cable
• Each sensor is tailored to its own amplifier.
Otherwise an accurate measurement cannot be
guaranteed. Please check: The sensor and the
charge amplifier must have the same serial number.

Sensor Type 4001A... has a diaphragm front. The front of
this sensor must not be machined under any circumstances.
Machining the front will damage the sensor.
For uneven cavity walls, the sensor must be installed in such
a way as to prevent the sensor front from protruding out of
the mounting bore. However, the pressure must be able to
act on the entire diaphragm surface. The 9H7 mounting bore
must therefore project up to the wall.
Machining the sensor front will invalidate all liability and
warranty claims.

4. Sensor Installation
• All sensor bores and threads must be clean
Insert the sensor into the mounting bore and tighten to 10
Nm using a torque wrench (AF 12). Mounting tool 1300A42
can be used for mounting bores deeper than 30 mm.
• Tighten the sensor to 10 Nm
4.1. Attaching the Amplifier
The amplifier should be attached in a protected position on
the mold or the machine.
It can be fastened to any level surface using four M4 screws.
• The temperature at the amplifier must not exceed
75°C.
7. Sensor Cleaning and Maintenance
Remove the sensor from the mold for cleaning. Pull the sen-
sor out of the mounting bore by the thread.
Rub dirt and plastic residues off the sensor in a radial motion
using a leather cloth or soft brass brush. Do not overstrain the
sensitive diaphragm on the front face. Replace the O-ring if
necessary. Replacement O-ring Type 55139386.
• Do NOT clean the sensor front with a steel brush!
5. Commissioning
After screwing in the sensor, connect the cable to the
matched amplifier.
The amplifier needs a warm-up phase of approx. 30 sec-
onds. After that, the amplifier performs an auto tare and is
then ready for operation. Further taring may be necessary
depending on the process.
Power supply
- Supply voltage VDC 18 ... 30
- Current consumption max. mA < 40
Digital input measurement
(TTL compatible, active high, pull-down to GND)
Taring signal VDC > 3.2
Max. input voltage VDC ± 30
8. Calibration at Kistler
Calibration and repairs at the Kistler factory can be arranged
via the local sales company.
• The complete measuring chain (sensor and amplifier)
is required for calibration
