2. INSTALLING THE PIRANI VACUUM GAUGE Turn OFF power Whenever mounting the vacuum gauge, unplug the power cable. Preliminary Operation • Unpack the vacuum gauge and check quantities. • Check components for possible damage. Installation 2.2.1. Installing the controller Ventilation Do not plug the air vents of the vacuum gauge controller.
2) How to mount Remove the metal fitting from the controller. Fit the controller into the front panel. Attach the metal fittings in the original position from the back of the panel. Fig. 2-2 GP-200 □G mounted in panel 2.2.2. Installing the sensor head Operating environment Do not connect the sensor head to a test object of which pressure is in excess...
Installing the sensor head • Install the vacuum gauge in such a manner that the sensor head mounting opening plane is parallel with gas flow. See to it that gas does not enter the sensor head in the form of beam. •...
2.2.5. A sensor head installation method to GP-H Screw for fixation The installation methods of a screw for fixation are different by a sensor head. ①Install a screw for fixation that is atta ched to GP-H to a sensor head. By the kind of the sensor head, installation met hods are different It is inserted a screw for...
3. OPERATING PROCEDURE Cautions in Handling (1) When power is applied to this gauge, it starts measurement after a delay of approx. three seconds. However, temperature drift or other problem due to power application is likely. So wait for more than one minute after applying power to the sensor head until the indication is stabilized.
Selecting the Recorder Output The recorder (analog) output signals of this gauge include Lin1 and Lin2, which can be selected. Lin0 0 to 3000 Pa : 0 to 10 V Lin1 0 to 1000 Pa : 0 to 10 V Lin2 0 to 100 Pa : 0 to 10 V (1) Pressing the [▲] and [SET] switches simultaneously displays “0”, “1”...
Adjusting the Recorder Output Adjustment has been completed before shipment from factory. If the correlation between the displayed value and the output value cannot be obtained, make adjustment by using the following procedure. NORMAL DISPLAY + SET XXXX OUTPUT ZERO ADJUSTMENT FINALIZE CANCEL DATA...
Recorder output The recorder outputs of this gauge include Lin1 and Lin2, which can be selected. Both outputs are correlated with pressure in linear function. Lin 0 0 to 3000 Pa : 0 to 10 V Lin 1 0 to 1000 Pa : 0 to 10 V Lin 2 0 to 100 Pa : 0 to 10 V The maximum value of the recorder output is approx.
Setpoint Output The setpoint output turns ON (continuity) the transistor output (open collector) if the measured value is smaller than the set comparison value and the status is maintained continuously for more than 0.5 second. When the setpoint output is turned ON, the LED (green) that displays the comparison output action on the front panel also light up.
The value α directly affects the accuracy and stability of the vacuum gauge. The constant temperature type Pirani gauge supplies the energy lost by collision of gas molecules from the heated filament and maintains the filament temperature constant all the time. The ULVAC Pirani gauge is this type of gauge.
Types of Gas Measured and Indication As briefly explained in "7.1 Principles of Operation", the indication of the Pirani vacuum gauge changes with the type of gas measured. In the molecular flow region, A (free molecule thermal conductivity) is given by the following equation.
If the cause is unknown (for example, the power line was struck by lightening), do not replace it by yourself, but contact your local ULVAC representative for replacement. • The power cord is disconnected. 1) Check the power cord for connection.
