Honeywell’s TruStability

TSC Series and NSC Series are piezoresistive silicon pressure sensors offering a ratiometric analog
output for reading pressure over the specified full scale pressure span and temperature range.
TSC Series:
• Temperature compensated and unamplified.
• Compensation makes it easier to integrate the sensor into a system by eliminating the need to calibrate the system over
temperature and also offers reduced part-to-part variation.
• Compensated temperature range is 0 °C to 85 °C [-32 °F to 185 °F].
• Operating temperature range is -40 °C to 85 °C [-40 °F to 185 °F].
• Measures differential or gage pressures
NSC Series:
• Uncompensated and unamplified.
• Allows customers the flexibility of performing their own calibration while still benefiting from the industry-leading stability,
accuracy, and repeatability that the Honeywell TruStability
®
Pressure Sensors provide.
• Operates as specified from -40 °C to 85 °C [-40 °F to 185 °F].
• Measures absolute, differential or gage pressures.
The absolute versions have an internal vacuum reference and an output value proportional to absolute pressure. Differential
versions allow measurement of pressure between two pressure ports. Gage versions are referenced to atmospheric pressure
and provide an output proportional to pressure variations from atmosphere.
The TSC Series and NSC Series sensors are intended for use with non-corrosive, non-ionic gases, such as air. Port 1 can
also be used for non-corrosive, non-ionic liquids on sensors rated above 60 mbar | 6 kPa | 1 psi.
The TSC and NSC Series offer numerous package styles and mounting options, making it easier for device manufacturers to
integrate the product into their applications. These sensors offer infinite resolution on the pressure signal. Frequency response
is also typically limited only by the end user’s system. All products are designed and manufactured according to ISO 9001.
