Design and Function Based on a supply voltage of 24 V the PTR 225, PTR 225 S or PTR 237 generates the internal supply voltages required for operation of the integrated Penning mea- surement system. The PTR 225, PTR 225 S or PTR 237 supplies a logarithmic representation of the vacuum pressure by way of a voltage signal which ranges from 0.66 V to 10 V.
The PTR 225 S Penning gauge is equipped with an adjustable switching threshold. The switching element is a relay. The status of the threshold is indicated by a LED.

(PELV) and VDE 0100. The Penning gauges PTR 225, PTR 225 S or PTR 237 is capable of operating off supply voltages ranging from 14.5 V to 36 V. A supply voltage of 24 V DC is recom- mended.
3.2.7 Monitor Output The monitor output (4/1) is accessible through a 3.5 mm jack socket so that the measurement signal and the trigger setting may be measured. The stereo jack plug which is included with the instrument may be used to connect a voltmeter, for example.

70 °C. Before baking out, you must make sure that an aluminum edged seal (PTR 225 / PTR 225 S) or a copper seal (PTR 237) is used as the flange seal. The Penning gauge PTR 225, PTR 225 S or PTR 237 are equipped with all-metal sensing cells so that any outgassing caused by polymer seals is entirely avoided.
Always wear clean, lint-free gloves and use clean tools when working in this area. 5.1 The Electronics The electronics assembly of the Penning gauge PTR 225, PTR 225 S or PTR 237 does not require any maintenance. Assembly 5.2 Cleaning the Sensor...

When the electronics assembly has been placed as required, the black magnet housing is fully surrounded by the housing of the PTR 225, PTR 225 S or 237. 3) Retighten the cross head screws at the rear of the gauge.
6 Troubleshooting Problem Possible cause Correction No LED is on. Supply voltage is missing. The "POWER" LED (6/1) High tension has not been ac- is on, the "READY" LED tivated. Pressure has dropped (6/2) is not on. below < 3·10- mbar.
9 Returning the Product WARNING WARNING: forwarding contaminated products Products returned to Pfeiffer Vacuum for service or repair should, if possible, be free of harmful substances (e.g. radioactive, toxic, caustic or microbiological). Otherwise, the type of contamination must be de- clared.
10 Disposal DANGER DANGER: contaminated parts Contaminated parts can be detrimental to health and environment. Before beginning to work, find out whether any parts are contami- nated. Adhere to the relevant regulations and take the necessary pre- cautions when handling contaminated parts.
