Press the "Parameter" button to switch to parameter mode. – The display shows the respective parameter group instead of the bar graph. The symbol for Parameter mode lights up.
Setting the threshold values Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends setting the upper threshold value 1/2 decade above the low- er threshold value or the lower threshold value 1/2 decade below the upper threshold val-...
Operation Minimum hysteresis The minimum hysteresis between the upper and lower threshold value is a minimum of 10% of the lower threshold value (logarithmic gauges) or 1% of the set upper range value (linear gauges). The upper threshold value is automatically updated with minimum hystere- sis if required.
● SLOW ─ The device does not respond to minor measured value fluctuations and thus responds more slowly to measured value changes. Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends this setting for precise com- parison measurements. ● CTR (for CCR gauges) ─...
Operation Resetting the zero point on the gauges You must switch off offset correction before you reset the zero point on the gauges. Zero point calibration of a digital CCR gauge ► For digital CCR gauges, first adjust the gauge and then the controller. After zero point calibration, a zero appears on the display.
Operation Gauge type TTR 9x TTR 101 ITR 90 PTR 91 PTR 2xx CCR 3xx Parameter S-ON S-OFF T-ON T-OFF Tbl. 16: Available parameters S-ON You can switch on certain gauges using different switch-on types. Adjustment, set- Description ting HAND You can manually switch on the gauges by pressing the “UP”...
Operation This parameter is only displayed if you have set the gauge switch-on type to S-ON S1, S-ON S2 or S- ON S3 (only CenterThree). T-OFF (CenterOne) Definition of the switch-off threshold with self-monitoring. This parameter is only displayed if you have set the gauge switch-off type to S-OFF SELF. T-OFF (CenterTwo/CenterThree) Definition of the switch-off threshold value when using the gauge on the other channel to switch off, or for self-monitoring.

Operation ● mbar ● hPa (factory setting) ● Torr (only available if the Torr lock is not activated.) ● Pa ● Micron (= 0.001 Torr) (only available if the Torr lock is not activated.) ● Volt A change to the unit of measure also changes the unit of measure for the ITR 90 and ITR 200 gauges. For CenterOne: If Micron is selected as the unit of measure, it automatically switches to Torr when the level exceeds 99000 Microns.
