Inverted Magnetron Pirani Gauge FRG-700 FRG-702 4 Operation As soon as the required supply voltage is applied, the measuring signal is available between pins 3 and 5. ( Appendix for the relationship between the measuring signal and the pressure). Allow for a stabilizing time of approx. 10 min. Once the gauge has been switched on, permanently leave it on irrespective of the pressure.

Inverted Magnetron Pirani Gauge FRG-700 FRG-702 As long as the cold cathode measuring circuit has not yet ignited, the measured value of the Pirani is output as measuring signal. The status output (pin 6, low) indicates the Pirani-only mode. If the gauge is activated at a pressure p < 3×10 , the gauge cannot recognize whether the cold cathode system has ignited.
