Installation WARNING WARNING: fragile components The ceramic sensor may be damaged by impacts. Do not drop the product and prevent shocks and impacts. Vacuum Connection DANGER DANGER: overpressure in the vacuum system >1 bar Injury caused by released parts and harm caused by escaping process gases can result if clamps are opened while the vacuum system is pressurized.

DANGER DANGER: protective ground Products that are not correctly connected to ground can be extremely hazardous in the event of a fault. Electrically connect the gauge to the grounded vacuum chamber. This connection must conform to the requirements of a protective connection ac- cording to EN 61010: •...

Mount the gauge so that no vibrations occur. To keep condensates and particles from getting into the measur- ing chamber preferably choose a horizontal or upright position. Install the gauge with the damping unit in case of a horizontal mounting orientation (→ 19). The gauge may not be installed in a suspended mount- ing orientation.

Zeroing the Gauge The gauge is factory calibrated while "standing upright" (→ "Calibration Test Report"). We recommend performing a zero adjustment, when the gauge is operated for the first time. Due to long time operation or contamination, a zero drift could occur and zero adjustment may become necessary.

4.5.1 Adjusting the Setpoints The setpoints can be adjusted via • the buttons on the gauge, • the diagnostic port (→ [3]), • the RS232 interface (→ [2], [3]), • the Ethernet interface (→ [1]), • the wireless network (→ [4], [5]). DANGER DANGER: malfunction If processes are controlled via the signal output,...

For changing the threshold value, push the <ZERO> button and keep it depressed. The threshold keeps changing from the current value (ramp) until the button is released or until the limit of the setting range is reached. Keep the button depressed max.
Activating the Factory Setting (Factory Reset) All user defined parameters (e.g. zero, filter) are restored to their default values. Loading of the default parameters is irreversible. Loading the default parameters: Put the gauge out of operation. Keep the <ZERO> button depressed for at least 5 s while the gauge is being put into operation (Power ON).
