2 | Product Description Product Description The mobile gauge TRP 900 is equipped with a piezoresistive ceramic sensor and temper- ature compensated whose measurement principle is based on the change of resistance of a strain gauge resulting from a diaphragm deflection. The piezoresistive sensor provides direct measurements which are independent of the gas nature.
Transport and Storage | 3 2.4 Proper Use The TRP 900 serves exclusively to measure total pressure in a range of: – 1600 … 1 mbar. 2.5 Improper Use The use for purposes not mentioned above is regarded as improper, especially: – Connection to pumps or units which are not suitable for this purpose according to their operating instructions.
4 | Installation 4.2 Vacuum Connection CAUTION Unintended opening of clamp with an overpressure in the vacuum system over 1000 mbar. Risk to injury! Damage to your health! • Parts may fly around. • Unsecured hose connections can release process media. CAUTION Overpressure in the vacuum system over 1500 mbar Damage to your health!

Installation | 4 Battery types: – 9 Volt AlMn block battery type 6LR 61; lifetime max. 2500 hours – 9 Volt Lithium block battery; lifetime max. 5000 hours. – 9 Volt NiCd rechargeable battery 150 mA; lifetime max 500 hours. NOTICE Inferior or damage batteries may leak gas or liquid under vacuum.
4 | Installation 4.3.2 Operation with External Power Supply The gauge can be operated alternatively with an external 12V power supply. The socket for the power supply is located behind the dust protection lid. • Open the lid carefully and pull it out slightly. 1 = Jack plug 2.5 mm ;...
Operation | 5 Operation 5.1 Select Operating Mode Short-Term Operation "Auto-Off" mode • Press “Mode” key The current pressure is displayed. mbar MODE The gauge will automatically shut down after 20 seconds. Continuous Operation "Cont" mode Notes: Available only when data recorder function is disabled. The current pressure is displayed.

5 | Operation "trig" means that new measurement values will only be recorded if the current value MODE differs from the last stored value by at least 2 digits (e.g. 2.3 … 2.5). This reduces the data volume and optimally uses the storage capacity of the gauge.
Operation | 5 Quit Data Recording Mode • Double keystroke: device switches into auto-off mode and will shut down automatic- ally after approximately 10 seconds. mbar MODE MODE 5.3 Adjustment The gauge is factory calibrated in upright position. Other orientations, different climatic conditions, extreme temperature changes, ageing or contamination may necessitate re- adjustment.

5 | Operation 5sec Without further keystroke, the unit switches to "Auto-Off" mode after approx. 5 seconds. Adjustment to Zero Pressure NOTE For adjustment on zero pressure the current pressure inside the sensor has to be less than 0.1 mbar. The pressure reading must be less than 100 mbar, otherwise adjustment is denied and the error message "Err"...
Operation | 5 5.4 Pressure Units In order to change the pressure units, the gauge’s configuration mode must be activated. Starting condition: the gauge is switched off. • Hold the “Mode” key pressed for approx. 5 seconds, until the display shows ‘’rAtE’’. MODE 5sec •...
After the USB cable is disconnected the gauge switches into “Auto-Off” mode. 6.2 VacTest Explorer Software VacTest explorer software has been especially developed for use with Busch vacuum gauges and is available for Windows and Android operating systems. VacTest explorer features plotting and saving of measurement data as well as a comfort- able way of configuring all device parameters.
Maintenance and Service | 7 Maintenance and Service WARNING Units contaminated with hazardous material. Risk of poisoning! Risk of infection! If the unit is contaminated with hazardous material: • Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. The device requires no maintenance. External dirt and soiling can be removed by a damp cloth.
