25,000 Microns. Select the desired units by repeatedly pressing Attach the eVac Pro to the system to be evacuated with a high quality vacuum hose or brass coupler. Start the vacuum pump. Read the vacuum level from the Main Display.
Sleep Mode by pressing any key on the keypad. While in Sleep, the gauge will beep twice every 5 minutes to remind you that it is on. The eVac Pro will not sleep in the Set Mode or the Calibration Mode (see the corresponding sections below).
Prior to further use of the eVac Pro, clean the sensor as describe in the “Cleaning the Vacuum Sensor” section below.

NOTE: The pressure bars indicate Microns when inHg units are selected. Alternate Numeric Display The eVac Pro has an Alternate Numeric Display that can indicate Vacuum Leak Rate, Ambient Temperature, Saturation Temperature, or Programming Time/Progress. Please refer to the “Programming” section below for programming instructions.

The gauge may be operated with or without the hook attached. When fastening the hook to the gauge, turn it finger tight only. Use of a tool to tighten the hook may result in damage to the eVac Pro case.

Programming As a special feature, the eVac Pro includes two related programs: the Evacuation Program and the Rise Time Testing (RTT) Program. The Evacuation Program allows for unattended evacuation of large systems, and will sound an audible/visual alarm when the evacuation procedure is complete, based upon both an Evacuation Target Pressure and Evacuation Target Time.

6. When the timer expires, the eVac Pro will sound an alarm, flash the backlight, and blink the DONE indicator. Press any key to silence the alarm. The program is complete.
Maintenance The eVac Pro should provide many years of service with no maintenance required. When not in use, the dust cap should remain in place over the sensor port. Clean the plastic enclosure with a damp (not wet) rag.
5. Place the eVac Pro in a clear Ziploc (resealable zipper storage) bag, press out any extra air, and seal. 6. Place the bagged eVac Pro into a freezer with a temperature of less than –5˚C (23˚F). 7. Allow the eVac Pro to cool to below -2˚C (28.4˚F). At this point, the alarm will sound and the display will change to 8.
Low Temperature Operation The eVac Pro can operate accurately at temperatures as low as 10˚F (-12˚C). While operating below freezing (32˚F/0˚C), the display update rate will slow from 3.5 readings every second to one reading every two seconds. For satisfactory battery life at low temperatures, a 9V Lithium battery is recommended.
Q. Can I use the eVac Pro to check the proper operation of my vacuum pump? Yes. Attach the eVac Pro directly to the pump with a short hose or coupler. Turn the pump on, open the blank-off valve, and close the ballast. A good pump with clean and dry oil will typically pull very quickly to less than 100 microns (generally around 25 microns for a two-stage pump).
