    MKS Instruments / Granville-Phillips® "S-curve". The other model provides a Log-linear analog output, and one setpoint relay. A built-in display provides a convenient user interface for setup and operation of the vacuum gauge. This User Manual is intended to be used with CVM211 displaying pressure in bar / mbar units of measure.

  • Page 9: Important Safety Information

    CVM211 Stinger Important Safety Information InstruTech has designed and tested this product to provide safe and reliable service, provided it is installed and operated within the strict safety guidelines provided in this manual. Please read and follow all warnings and instructions.
  • Page 10: Safety Precautions - Service And Operation

    The CVM211 module vacuum gauge must be connected directly to a good quality earth ground. Use a ground lug on the CVM211 gauge vacuum connection / flange if necessary.
  • Page 11: Overpressure And Use With Hazardous Gases

    The CVM211 vacuum gauge module is not intended for use at pressures above 1333 mbar (20 psia); DO NOT exceed < 2 ½ bars (35 psig) pressure inside the sensor. If your chamber goes to higher pressures, you should install an isolation valve or pressure relief device to protect the gauge tube from overpressure conditions.
  • Page 12: Installation

    Mounting the CVM211 too close to a gas source inlet may also cause measurement and control instability. Do not mount the CVM211 near a source of heating or cooling, such as heaters or air conditioning vents. Mount the CVM211 with its main axis horizontal (see diagram below). Pressure reading errors may occur above 1 mbar if the unit is not mounted horizontally.
  • Page 13: Electrical Installation

    A good recommended practice is to remove power from any cable prior to connecting or disconnecting it. The InstruTech CVM211 will directly replace Granville-Phillips® Mini-Convectron® modules that have a 9-pin D-sub connector (DE-9P), and you can use your existing cables and electronics.
  • Page 14: Setup And Operation

    Instruction Manual CVM211 Stinger Setup and Operation Initial Setup Two of the most important steps for the initial setup of the gauge are to set zero and set span (atmosphere) as described in the Programming section 4.3 below. This will ensure proper operation of the gauge and accurate pressure measurements.
  • Page 15: User Interface Basics

    During setup, and operation, be sure to consider the bar/mbar LEDs. It is important to note the unit of measure (engineering units) LED status on the front panel of the CVM211 to correctly interpret the displayed pressure. The following table summarizes the mbar/bar LED indicator status:...
  • Page 16: Programming

    CVM211 Stinger Programming 1. With the CVM211 in the normal pressure display mode, press and hold <select> for 3 seconds. 2. The readout displays the value of the 'setpoint turn-on’ pressure. The relay energizes when the pressure is below this value [Factory default = 0.1 mbar].
  • Page 17: Return To Factory Default Settings

    Instruction Manual CVM211 Stinger Return to Factory Default Settings You can reset all values to the original factory default settings by holding the <up> key for 5 seconds. The display will read "dEF" until 5 seconds has passed, at which point all user settings will be replaced by the original factory default values and the display will return to the normal pressure display.
  • Page 18 Instruction Manual CVM211 Stinger User Interface Map Normal pressure display To enter setup mode, press and hold <select> for 3 seconds. Readout displays value of "setpoint turn-on" pressure. Relay energizes when pressure is below this value [Factory default = 0.1 mbar].
  • Page 19: Using The Gauge With Different Gases

    Under normal conditions the voltages and currents in InstruTech convection gauges are too low to cause ignition of flammable gases. However, under certain failure conditions, sufficient energy could be generated to cause flammable vapors or gases to ignite or explode.
  • Page 20 The X-axis is the pressure reading indicated by the convection gauge under test. This chart shows readings for an InstruTech convection gauge (CVG) and Granville-Phillips® Convectron® gauge to illustrate that the difference in the response for both of these types of gauges is virtually indistinguishable.

  • Page 27: Contamination

    Thermal vacuum gauges may be available with different sensor materials that are not as reactive with your particular process gases. The standard gold plated tungsten sensor used in the InstruTech convection gauge is offered for use with air and inert gases such as N , argon, etc.

    (within specified limits) during the process cycle. Particles in the process chamber may be swept into the gauge during the vent cycle. The CVM211 has a screen built into the gauge port to help keep the largest particles out of the gauge. In very dirty applications, or where particles are small enough to get through the screen, an additional filter installed on the inlet may help prolong the gauge life.
