3 Installation 3.1 Montage Caution As a rule, all ionisation measurement systems must only be operated in connection with a properly earthed pump system. Installation and mounting may only be carried out with the operating unit switched off. Caution When connecting the vacuum gauges to the vacuum system it must be strictly observed that during operation the gauges are not subjected to mechanical oscillations, impact or vibrations.
