5. Installing Sensor
• Ensure all sensor hole and threads are clean
• Use checking tool Art. No. 55155779
• A chamfered cable channel or cable hole prevents
damaged cables
8. Functional Test
On completion of mold assembly, test sensor insulation and
sensitivity.
• Ensure that connector is dry
• Use cleaning spray Type 1003
8.1 Insulation Test
Use insulation tester Type 5495 to check sensor insulation.
Resistance >1013 Ω.
8.2 Sensor Functional Check
Test the sensitivity of the installed sensor using Test Set Type
5495.
Approximate measured sensitivity value: –2,1 … –2,6 pC.
9. Service and Repair
Piezoelectric pressure sensors are maintenance-free. Insulation
and sensitivity of the installed sensor should, however, be
checked after each molding run.
• Ensure that connector is dry
• Cover sensor hole during cleaning
• Use cleaning spray Type 1003
9.1 Insulation Test
See chapter 8.1.
9.2 Sensor Functional Check
See chapter 8.2.
9.3 Removing Sensor
Remove sensor with extraction tool Type 1358A or use a flat
ejector pin to press on the sensor front.
• Do not use a hammer on the sensor front
• Do not use a sharp center punch
9.4 Dismounting of cables
Fixe Sensor with auxilary tool Type 1300A30 and detach
cable with fork wrench AF 3,5 Type 5.210.445.
9.5 Single-Wire Repair
Slightly damaged cables can be repaired using the Repair Kit
Type 1207. If single-wire cables have been severed, solder
ends, slide over Teflon tube and cover with shrink tubing.

5.1 Sensor Installation with Spacer Sleeve Type
6464A1
Install sensor into hole with extraction tool Type 1358A or
directly with spacer sleeve.
5.1.1 Machining Spacer Sleeve
Cut spacer sleeve so that it has an overlength of 2 … 3 mm.
Place sensor and sleeve into hole and determine exact length,
ensuring a clearance of 0,01 … 0,03 mm. Sleeve must be
ground so the end is square and planar. Remove any burrs.
For multi-cavity applications each spacer sleeve should be
numbered and allocated to a sensor.
5.1.2 Spacer Sleeve and Retaining Plate
Install sensor and spacer sleeve. Ensure a clearance of 0,01 …
0,03 mm.
Sensor may not be preloaded when assembling the mold.
• Do not preload sensor
• Use extraction tool Type 1358A to install sensor
• For multi-cavity applications each spacer sleeve
should be numbered
6. Installing Cable and Connector
• Check again that edges of cable duct and hole are
chamfered
• Use a metal plate to cover open ducts/slots
• Attach cap and place on connector
6.1 Single-Wire Technology
• Single-wire cable must be completely enclosed in
the mold
• Single-wire cable may not be routed with power
cables
• Ensure that all contact surfaces and threads are clean
and dry
6.1.1 Cut & Grip Connection
Cut the single-wire cable to length and do not strip the insu-
lation. Open connector by hand, insert the single-wire cable
and close it again.
6.1.2 Installing Single-Wire Connector
Install connector and mounting plate in recess. Attach cap
using one of the screws. Place cap on open connector.
Installation of Connector Type 1839 and Mounting Plate
7. Installing Identification Plate

6460A1
Install sensor into hole with extraction tool Type 1358A.
Tighten mounting nut Type 6460A1 with socket wrench Type
1300A131. Hand tighten with 3 ... 5 N∙m torque.
• Do not preload sensor
• Hand tighten with 3 ... 5 N∙m torque
• Take care not to wrap single-wire cable around
socket wrench
• Use extraction tool Type 1358A
• Use Installation tool Type 1300A131
