DANGER DANGER: protective ground Products that are not correctly connected to ground can be extremely hazardous in the event of a fault. Electrically connect the gauge to the grounded vacuum chamber. This connection must conform to the requirements of a protective connection ac- cording to EN 61010: •...

, CO and N . For other gases, it has to be corrected (→ 13). If the gauge is operated with a Pfeiffer Vacuum controller, a calibration factor for correction of the actual reading can be applied (→ of the corresponding controller).
Ignition Delay An ignition delay occurs when cold cathode gauges are switched on. The delay time increases at low pressures and for clean, degassed gauges it is typically: 1×10 … 1×10 mbar < 1 second 1×10 … 1×10 mbar <20 seconds 5×10 …...

Gauge contamination is influenced by the process media used as well as any existing or new contaminants and their respective partial pressures. Continuous operation in the range of mbar ... 10 mbar can cause severe contamination as well as reduced up-time. Contamination of the gauge generally causes a deviation of the measured values: •...
Deinstallation DANGER DANGER: contaminated parts Contaminated parts can be detrimental to health and environment. Before beginning to work, find out whether any parts are contaminated. Adhere to the relevant regulations and take the necessary precautions when handling contaminated parts. Caution Caution: vacuum component Dirt and damages impair the function of the vac- uum component.

Put the g auge into operatio on and operate it a at atmospheric pressure for at least 10 min nutes. Press the e <ADJ> button wi ith a pin (max. ø1 .1 mm) and the ATM adju ustment is carried out: The Pirani se ensor is ad- tion ≈5 s).
Cleaning the Gauge / Replacing Parts In case of severe contamination or defective (e.g. Pirani filament rupture), replace the complete measuring chamber (Spare Parts → 42). DANGER DANGER: contaminated parts Contaminated parts can be detrimental to health and environment. Before beginning to work, find out whether any parts are contaminated.
DANGER DANGER: cleaning agents Cleaning agents can be detrimental to health and environment. Adhere to the relevant regulations and take the necessary precautions when handling and dis- posing of cleaning agents. Consider possible reactions with the product materials (→ 10). Precondition Gauge deinstalled.
