Safety Procedures and Precautions CHECK FOR LEAK-TIGHT FITTINGS Before proceeding to instrument setup, carefully check all plumbing connections to the instrument to ensure leak-tight installation. OPERATE AT SAFE INLET PRESSURES This unit should never be operated at pressures higher than the rated maximum pressure (refer to the product specifications for the maximum allowable pressure).
Chapter One: General Information Introduction Chapter One: General Information Introduction The Baratron Type 722A Absolute Pressure Transducer offers the proven technology of the Baratron transducer in a smaller package. The unit provides an accuracy of 0.5% of Reading and carries a CE Mark to indicate full compliance with the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC.
Calibration and Service Center before shipping. The ERA Number expedites handling and ensures proper servicing of your instrument. Please refer to the inside of the back cover of this manual for a list of MKS Calibration and Service Centers. Warning All returns to MKS Instruments must be free of harmful, corrosive, radioactive, or toxic materials.
Chapter Two: Installation How To Unpack the Type 722 Unit MKS has carefully packed the Type 722 unit so that it will reach you in perfect operating order. Upon receiving the unit, however, you should check for defects, cracks, broken connectors, etc., to be certain that damage has not occurred during shipment.
Product Location and Requirements Chapter Two: Installation Product Location and Requirements Operating Environmental Requirements • Ambient Operating Temperature: 0° C to 50° C (32° F to 122° F) • Ventilation requirements include sufficient air circulation Dimensions Note All dimensions are listed in inches with millimeters referenced in parentheses.
Chapter Two: Installation Setup Setup Mounting The 722 transducer can be mounted with the cylindrical end in either a vertical (upright) or horizontal position. The mounting requirements allow any foreign matter entering the pressure port to fall away from the sensing diaphragm. Mounting the Unit in a Vertical Position If the unit is mounted in a vertical position, the cylindrical end of the unit must point upwards, as shown in Figure 5.
• • Mini-CF Caution 1. MKS does not warranty the 722 transducer when single or double metal ferrule compression-type vacuum fittings are used because damage will occur to the transducer when improper tightening procedures are followed. 2. Before proceeding to Setup, page 9, carefully check all plumbing connections to the instrument to ensure a leak-tight installation.
Chapter Two: Installation Setup Connectors The 722 transducer is available with a 9-pin Type “D”, a 5-pin terminal block connector, or a 15- pin Type “D” on a 6 inch cable Note A “No Connection” pin assignment means that the pin has no internal connection.

Chapter Two: Installation Setup How to Wire a PDR Series Readout to a Type 722 Transducer with a 9-pin Type “D” Connector. Caution DO NOT use the -15 VDC output of the PDR readout to power the 722 transducer. When the -15 VDC signal of the PDR is connected to the power return of the transducer, a short between the -15 VDC of the transducer and the A GND of the PDR occurs.
Setup Chapter Two: Installation Electrical Information The 722 transducer requires an external power source capable of supplying the voltages listed in Appendix A: Product Specifications, page 27. Noise and ripple should be less than 2 mV (peak-to-peak) over a 10 kHz bandwidth. You may use any readout device capable of reading from -0.6 V to 11 V.
Setup Interface Cables Interface cables to all MKS companion products can be purchased from MKS. Refer to Table 5 for a listing of the cable numbers. As of January 1, 1996, all products shipped to the European Community must comply with the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC, which covers radio frequency emissions and immunity tests.

Chapter Two: Installation Generic Shielded Cable Description MKS offers a full line of cables for all MKS equipment. Should you choose to manufacture your own cables, follow the guidelines listed below: 1. The cable must have a braided shield, covering all wires. Neither aluminum foil nor spiral shielding will be as effective;...
Chapter Two: Installation Setup Attaching the Terminal Block Connector Cable The cable to the terminal block connector must be firmly attached to the top of the transducer, in order to comply with CE Mark requirements. Figure 8 shows the preferred method to connect the cable;...
(or reset) by adjusting the zero potentiometer located on the top cover of the transducer or, on the front panel of an MKS Power Supply/Readout, if you are using one. Refer to Figure 1, page 7, for the location of the zero potentiometer on a low pressure 722 transducer;...
Do not adjust the span setting if a calibration transfer standard is not available. Instead, send the unit back to an MKS Service Center for calibration. Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com...

An MKS or MKS-compatible power supply is required to complete the pressure to DC voltage output conversion, and an MKS or MKS-compatible display unit is required for direct pressure readout. The display unit could be a personal computer, an MKS pressure controller, or an MKS PDR Series power supply/readout unit.
Signal Conditioning Electronics Chapter Three: Overview Signal Conditioning Electronics The signal conditioner contains state-of-the-art balanced bridge circuitry, self-compensated for thermal stability with ambient temperature changes. The circuit board construction uses surface mount technology. The output is either a DC voltage or mA current, which is linear with pressure.
Chapter Four: Operation General Chapter Four: Operation General After installation and during periodic maintenance, check the transducer zero to verify proper output. If the output is incorrect, set the output by adjusting the zero potentiometer. Refer to How To Check the Transducer Zero, page 18, for zeroing instructions. Lowest Suggested Pressure Available for Reading The pressures listed in the middle column of Table 7 reflect reliable and practical pressures for different range transducers.
