Installation and operation of accessories Pfeiffer Vacuum pumps can be equipped with a series of adapted accessories. The in- stallation, operation and maintenance of connected devices are described in detail in the operating instructions of the individual components.
EU directives and reassess it accord- ingly. ● The DPG 202 controler is used exclusively for connecting DigiLine gauges, e. g. CPT 100/200, RPT 100/200, PPT 100/200, HPT 100/200 and MPT 100/200.
Product description Product description The DPG 202 controller is used in conjunction with the Pfeiffer Vacuum DigiLine gauges for measurement and control total pressures. The unit is ready to connect the gauges CPT 100/200, RPT 100/200, PPT 100/200, HPT 100/200 and MPT 100/200.

Operation Measuring mode In measuring mode the DPG 202 shows the pressure of the connected gauge currently being measured. The display appears, depending on the measurement range, either in fixed-point or exponential notation. The switch outputs are controlled in accordance with the set point parameters and actual pressure.
Press the Menu key to access the configuration mode. The following menus can be se- lected: PRESSURE MENU After switching on, the DPG 202 is in the start menu PRES- SURE. Here, the pressure value with the respective channel PRESSURE...

Operation Total pressure gauges with hot cathode sensor (e.g. HPT 200 ) may need baking in ultra Sensor menu high vacuum to desorp the gasload from surfaces. The degas process lasts for three minutes by default but can be stopped manually at any time. Pressure reading with re- duced accuracy is possible during degas, the PRESSURE menu shows degas for the concerned channel as long as the operation proceeds.
