CANNON advises turning OFF the vacuum source when changing DVR meter settings. For the DVR-1000, it is necessary to disconnect the connection to the in-house vacuum source or turn the vacuum off. For the DVR-1500 unit, which includes a built-in vacuum pump, the vacuum can be shut off by switching the DVR front panel switch to the METER position.

The CANNON DVR 1000 Series instrument is designed to regulate vacuum at 300 mm Hg below atmospheric pressure. Vacuum may be adjusted to other settings, from 28 mm Hg to 411 mm Hg. The DVR is suitable for use with all CANNON temperature baths, including the CT and TE Series high and low temperature baths.
The DVR is available from CANNON in both horizontal and vertical configurations. With its sturdy steel construction, the horizontal DVR unit is able to support any CANNON CT or TE Series temperature bath. The vertical or horizontal configuration offers convenience in locations where workspace is at a premium.

Figure 3: NPT Port Connection Connect to your Application Connect the DVR-1000 to your vacuum manifold or application using the 4' length of ¼“ x 5/8" O.D. rubber vacuum tubing provided by CANNON. Secure the tubing to the Vacuum Manifold Inlet on the front panel of the DVR.
Figure 4. Connect the DVR-1500 to your vacuum manifold or application using the 4' length of ¼” x 5/8" O.D. rubber vacuum tubing provided by CANNON. Secure the tubing to the Vacuum Manifold Inlet on the front panel of the DVR. Push the tubing firmly into place over the barbed nipple fitting.
The (O) symbol indicates the OFF position for the electrical switches for the unit (AC Mains or accessories). Connecting Power Cable Make sure that the 3-position switch on the front panel is set to the center STANDBY position. Plug the power cord into the DVR rear panel IEC Power Inlet connector. Plug the other end of the cord into an appropriate electrical outlet.
Points. Accessories TheThe DVR is designed for use in conjunction with the CANNON 3VM and 4VM vacuum manifolds. The 3VM manifold (part number 9726-V10) has three valves and pairs with the CANNON CT-500 Series Constant Temperature Bath. The 4VM manifold (part number 9726-V05) has four valves and pairs with the CANNON CT-1000 Series and CT-2000 Series Constant Temperature Baths.
The DVR’s vacuum is regulated by two solenoid valves mounted inside the unit. The valves operate in tandem to maintain consistent vacuum at the desired setting. CANNON creates preset control set points for the solenoid valves to regulate vacuum at 300 mm Hg below atmospheric pressure. If it is necessary to adjust these settings, see section Altering Factory Settings.
This action disengages solenoid operation for both models and turns off the DVR-1500 vacuum pump. CANNON advises users bleed off residual DVR system vacuum to 250 mm or lower when the instrument is in the center STANDBY position. This prevents the unit from overshooting the target vacuum (default 300 mm Hg) when the toggle switch is returned to the RUN position.

Once your control point (desired vacuum setting) is known, you must select and test new set points. Normal factory set points may provide a useful reference. The unit is shipped from CANNON with a value of 292.5 mm Hg for LO and a value of 299.6 mm Hg for HI. These settings allow the DVR to control at 300 mm Hg ±...
DVR Cleaning & Maintenance Cleaning Before cleaning the DVR, turn off the instrument and unplug the MAINS Caution: power cord. Do NOT clean the instrument while it is in operation. Best practices dictate that it is ideal to periodically clean the outside of the unit with a cloth moistened with water and/or a mild detergent solution.
Altering Factory Settings The Meriam gauge installed on the DVR unit offers several programmable registers for adjusting the operating parameters of the instrument. For a full description of programming options, consult the Meriam manual included with your DVR instrument. Changing the Engineering Unit of Measure The LCD provides nine options for units of measurement.
During any programming operation, if there is no keypad Note: activity for approximately one minute then the current programming operation aborts and the gauge returns to the Measurement mode. Adjustment Procedure: Adjusting the Control Set Points (SET 1 and SET 2) Make certain the gauge is in the measurement mode displaying the current vacuum/pressure reading.
Once your control point (the desired vacuum setting) is known, select and test new set points. Normal factory set points may provide a useful reference. The unit ships from CANNON with a value of 292.5 mm Hg for and a value of 299.6 mm Hg for SET2.

Turn off power to the DVR and unplug the MAINS power cord from the DVR unit. For DVR-1000 units, remove the in-house vacuum connection from the port on the rear panel of the DVR. Allow the system to equilibrate to atmospheric conditions.
The Customer Service Department will assign you a Return Authorization number. The digital differential gauge is sensitive to jarring and shock. After issuing an RA number, CANNON ships the appropriate packing materials for your gauge. Use these materials to ship your gauge to CANNON Instrument Company.

Unplug the MAINS power and turn OFF the power to the DVR unit. For DVR-1000 units, remove the in-house vacuum connection from the port on the rear panel of the DVR. Allow the system to equilibrate to atmospheric connections.
Remove the brass elbow from the “low” port and remove the brass filter from the “high” port of the differential gauge to complete the procedure. Contact CANNON Instrument Company (or your local service representative) for calibration information and to receive a Return Authorization (RA) number. The digital differential gauge must be recalibrated by the manufacturer.
