4 digits of resolution in K, °C or °F and sensor voltage to 1 mV. The Model 818 features one input with two alarms. The alarms can be used to safeguard or initiate and control automatic cryopump regeneration cycles. The alarms are configured as HI and ID alarms. Set alarm setpoints from the front panel with function keys and up/down keys, or simply check them without changing their values.

Input Range: 0 to 3 volts Sensor Excitation (constant current): 10 µA ±0.01% Update Rate: 818 = One reading per 0.6 second; 819 = One reading per 0.6 second continuous. 1.2 seconds on channel change. Scan Dwell Time: 818 = not applicable; 819 = 0(skip), 5, 10, 30, 60 seconds for each channel.
The Model 818/819 requires a power source of 50 to 60 Hz single phase 90-125 or 210-250 VAC. For the Model 818, replace the fuse with 0.25 A for 110 VAC operation, or 0.125 A for 230 VAC operation. For the Model 819, replace the fuse with 0.5 A for 110 VAC operation, or 0.25 A for 230 VAC operation.
J3 Alarms The HI and LO alarm contacts are present on rear panel card edge connections. The Model 818 has one 6-contact card edge connector for the HI and LO alarms. The Model 819 has one 6-contact card edge for Input 1 HI and LO alarms and one 18-contact card edge connector for Input 2 thru Input 4 HI and LO alarms.
— ALARM OPERATION The Model 818 can set two alarm trip points (HI and LO) associated with the single sensor input. The Model 819 has four sensor inputs and two alarm trip points (HI and LO) for each input. The deadband is ±0.025 for the setpoint less than 100 (any units) and ±0.25 for the setpoint greater than 100.
The Model 818 and 819 have two different alarms that can be selected when the sensor curve is selected. Alarm action 0 is the Model 818 operation and alarm action 1 is the DIGI-K operation. See Table 3-2A and 3-2B for a truth tables of the respective alarm actions.
Lake Shore Model 818 / 819 Cryopump Monitor User’s Manual 3.5.4 Setting the HI and LO Alarms The alarms may be changed if the rear panel ALARM SET switch (Configuration DIP Switch 3) is ON (1). To change the alarms from the front panel: 1.
Remarks: Sets the High Alarm setpoint. Channel = 0 to 4. Example: For a setpoint of 300° on the Model 818, type H300. For a setpoint of 31.2° on channel 3 on the Model 819, type 3H31.2. Select temperature units from the unit keyboard or by using the F0 command.

4. For the Model 818, replace the fuse with 0.25 A for 110 VAC operation, or 0.125 A for 230 VAC operation. For the Model 819, replace the fuse with 0.5 A for 110 VAC operation, or 0.25 A for 230 VAC operation.
7. The unit displays -CAL- Within 2 seconds, press the t key. Again, the unit displays -CAL- for approximately 15 seconds and then returns to normal operation. The instrument should now display 0.250V. 8. Calibration is complete for the Model 818. For the Model 819, repeat steps 2 through 7 for channels 2, 3, and 4. Maintenance...
