Page 7: Introduction
The APGX-H requires a 14.5 to 30 V d.c. power supply: it has a 0 - 10 V d.c. analogue linear output which is related to pressure. The APGX-H is compatible with all of the Edwards AGCs (Active Gauge Controllers), and appropriate versions of the Edwards TICs (Turbo Instrument Controllers) and AGDs (Active Gauge Displays).
Page 8: Gas Dependency
The switch labelled 'SET TRIP' allows you to change the operating pressure of the set-point device. The set-point output device is an open collector transistor. If you use an Edwards AGC, TIC or AGD, the APGX-H set- point is not used.

Page 13: Installation
To connect the APGX-H to your vacuum system: Use an 'O' ring / centring-ring or Co-Seal and clamp to connect an APGX-H with an NW16 or NW25 flange to a  similar flange on the vacuum system.
Page 14: Electrical Connections
Note: Your AGC or TIC must have a version of software that is compatible with the APGX-H. If the AGC or TIC does not recognise the APGX-H, then an upgrade to the software is required. Refer to the TIC Instruction Manual for more information on downloading the latest version of the TIC software.

Page 17: Operation
The temperature of the filament can be substantially higher under fault conditions. Pressure measurement Immediately after connecting the APGX-H to a power supply, the status LED will rapidly flash red and green for approximately 2 seconds while calibration information is downloaded from the tube to the electronics housing. The status LED will then turn green if the gauge is operating correctly.

9.2 V. The set-point output will then be ON if the gauge is operating normally, and OFF if an error condition is detected. Error monitoring If an error occurs during operation of the APGX-H, then the status LED will turn red to indicate an error. Refer to Section 5.4 for a fault finding guide.

5.1.1 Atmosphere adjustment 1. Switch on the power supply to the APGX-H and allow it to operate for at least 10 minutes. Ensure that the green status LED is lit. 2. With the vacuum system at atmospheric pressure, press the 'CAL' switch. The status LED will flash red and the voltage output of the gauge will read approximately 9 V.
Page 22: Reset Factory Calibration Values
D023-92-880 Issue F If the APGX-H is connected to an Edwards AGC, TIC or AGD, the display will indicate the corresponding pressure. 5.1.4 Reset factory calibration values Note: Performing a factory values reset will overwrite any existing calibration data stored in the tube.
Page 23: Fault Finding
Calibration service A calibration service is available for all Edwards gauges. Calibration is by comparison with reference gauges, traceable to National Standards. Contact Edwards for details. © Edwards Limited 2018. All rights reserved.
Page 25: Storage And Disposal
Particular care must be taken if the APGX-H has been contaminated with dangerous process substances or if the gauge has been overheated or has been in a fire. Fluoroelastomers are used in the APGX-H; these are safe in normal use, but can decompose into dangerous breakdown products if heated to 260°C and above.
