ATM Vacuum Gauge Module Instruction Manual
If the module will measure the pressure of any process gas other than N
air, you must adjust setpoints for the process gas that will be used.
If the module will measure the pressure of a gas other than N
must adjust setpoints for the process gas. The true pressure of a gas other
than N
or air may be substantially different from the pressure that the
2
output indicates. For example, outputs might indicate a pressure of 10 Torr
for argon, although the true pressure of the argon is 250 Torr. Such a
substantial difference between indicated pressure and true pressure can
cause overpressurization resulting in an explosion.
Failure to use accurate pressure conversion data for N
or air to other gases can cause an explosion due to
overpressurization.
If the module will measure any gas other than N
connecting relays to system control devices, adjust setpoints for
the process gas that will be used.
1.
Make sure the module is properly installed and the axis is horizontal.

Figure 4-3, Figure 4-4, and Figure 4-5 on pages 46–48 are graphs that
show true pressure versus indicated pressure for 12 commonly used
process gases, including N

Refer to the following example process control (PC) command
sequence to program indicated pressures at which the relay will
activate and deactivate:
The example PC command sequence causes relay 1 to deactivate
when indicated vacuum chamber pressure increases to 2.00 x 10
Torr and to activate when indicated vacuum chamber pressure
decreases to 1.01 x 10
