Chapter 4 7. Do not mount the 275 Mini-Convectron Vacuum Gauge in a manner such that the deposition of process vapors, upon the internal surfaces of the gauge tube, may occur through line-of-sight access to the interior of the gauge tube. 8.
Chapter 4 Installation CAUTION Reasonable care should be taken to install the 275 Mini-Convectron Vacuum Gauge Module where it is protected from physical damage. Compression Mount The 275 Mini-Convectron Vacuum Gauge is designed to fit a standard 1/2 inch compression (quick-disconnect) mount. WARNING A compression mount should not be used in positive pressure applications.
Installation, Configuration Other Mounts Follow standard installation procedures for all other mount types. WARNING If an NW type flange is being used, ground the 275 Mini-Convectron Vacuum Gauge Module to the vacuum chamber by installing a metal flange clamp. Trip Point Cable 1.
Chapter 4 DeviceNet Digital Use the following procedure to install the 275 Mini-Convectron Vacuum Interface Gauge (with DeviceNet digital interface) on the vacuum system and obtain Installation a vacuum chamber pressure. 1. Set the MAC ID switches on the 275 Mini-Convectron Vacuum Gauge Module to the correct address position for the vacuum chamber on which it is installed.
Installation, Configuration Configuring Polled The 275 Mini-Convectron Vacuum Gauge Module can input data to the I/O Data Format network in two data types and status information can be included. The default format inputs one byte of status data and floating point pressure. See Table 5-5 on Page 35 for status bit definitions.
