Page 9: Important Safety Information
WGM701 Wasp 2 Important Safety Information InstruTech has designed and tested this product to provide safe and reliable service, provided it is installed and operated within the strict safety guidelines provided in this manual. Please read and follow all warnings and instructions. -
Page 10: Safety Precautions - Service And Operation
Do not use if the unit has been dropped or the enclosure has been damaged. Contact InstruTech for return authorization and instructions for returning the product to InstruTech for evaluation. -
Page 11: Electrical Conditions
In cases where an equipment failure could cause a hazardous condition, always implement fail-safe system operation. For example, use a pressure relief device in an automatic backfill operation where a malfunction could result in high internal pressures if the pressure relief device was not installed on the chamber. InstruTech Page 8... -
Page 12: Gas Dependency
WARNING! The measurement value is gas dependent. The pressure reading applies to dry air, O , CO and . For other gases, the measurements have to be corrected. Refer to section 5 titled “Using the gauge with different gases” for more details. InstruTech Page 9... -
Page 13: Installation
Remove the protective lid and install the product to the vacuum system following manufacturer’s recommendations for different flanges and fittings. Keep the protective lid for future maintenance.

Page 14: Electrical Installation
• Use an overall metal braided shielded cable. The connector must have a metal case. • Connect the supply common with protective ground directly at the power. • Use differential measurement input (signal common and supply common conducted separately). • Potential difference between supply common and housing ≤16 V (overvoltage protection). InstruTech Page 11... -
Page 15: Connector
* Does not apply to WGM701. Pin 1 is not assigned. Digital input to gauge is not required as high voltage for cold cathode sensor is turned on automatically once measurements from pirani has indicated low enough pressure level. InstruTech Page 12... -
Page 16: Setup And Operation
Connect power to the WGM701 using the designated pins 4 and 2 of the 9-pin D-sub connector. Alternatively, you can power the device by connecting InstruTech’s PS501-A power supply to the connector. The gauge consists of two separate measuring systems (Pirani and cold cathode system based on the inverted magnetron principle). -

Torr and 7.5 x 10 Torr. • The characteristic curve of the Pirani can be affected if used under different climatic conditions, through extreme temperatures, aging or contamination. If necessary the user can manually readjust the Pirani gauge as described below: InstruTech Page 14... -
Page 18: Pirani Atm Adjustment
Press the <ADJ> button with a pin and the HV adjustment is carried out (duration 5 s). If the output from the gauge corresponds to 7.6 × 10 Torr, the adjustment has been successful. Otherwise, repeat the adjustment procedure. InstruTech Page 15... -

• Replace the measuring chamber (spare sensor) InstruTech assumes no liability and the warranty becomes null and void if any repair work other than replacing the sensor activation (ignition) aid, measuring or ionization chambers is carried out by the end-user or third parties. -
Page 23: Removing The Gauge From Service
Always use clean, lint free gloves as well as clean tools when working with this product. 1) Vent the vacuum system and turn off power to the gauge. 2) Unplug the cable and remove the gauge from the chamber. 3) Re-install the protective lid.
