Figure 1 – Nameplate (Examble) Conforming Utilisation The COMBIVAC CM 51 is a universal vacuum gauge which owing to the combination of two principles of measurement - Pirani (Thermovac) and Penning (cold cathode) - permits measurements and checks within the entire vacuum pressure range between1·10-9 mbar and atmospheric pressure.
Responsibility and Warranty The Leybold Vacuum GmbH will not assume any responsibility or warranty in case the operator or third persons do not observe the information given in this document. do not use the product as intended. ...
Safety General Information The COMBIVAC CM 51 is delivered ready for operation. Even so, we recommend that you carefully read these Operating Instructions so as to ensure optimum operating conditions right from the start. This manual contains important information for understanding, installing, commissioning, operating and troubleshooting the COMBIVAC CM 51.
1·10 to atmospheric pressure is possible. Six switching thresholds permit the integration of the COMBIVAC CM 51 within complex vacuum control facilities. The two THERMOVAC channels are immediately active upon powering up. The PENNINGVAC channel may be switched on and off by one of the two THERMOVAC channels or externally or manually.

CAUTION: Impermissible Sensors. Gauge heads which have not been designed to be operated in connection with the COMBIVAC CM 51 or which do not comply with current EMC guidelines can impair operation of the instrument or even damage it. Always ...
Connecting: Connect the PENNINGVAC gauge head through the corresponding connecting cable to the connection PM on the rear of the COMBIVAC CM 51. Lock the plug using the knurled nut provided at the plug. WARNING: For utilising the connection PM, a special cable from the company Leybold Vacuum GmbH must be used.
Connecting: Connect the serial interface of the computer using a shielded cable to the connection RS232/RS485 on the rear of the COMBIVAC CM 51. WARNING: When using the serial interface RS232 use a serial extension cable with a 9- way plug and a 9-way socket.
5.3.9 Relay Output (Relay Output) Through the connection Relay Output ( Figure 7, H, page 20 and Figure 11, page 24) you can utilise the floating relay contacts for switching purposes and ready signals. Figure 11 – Connection plug for relay output (SUB-D, 25-way) DANGER: Dangerous voltage Voltages exceeding 60 VDC or 30 VAC are dangerous when touched.

Operating Modes The COMBIVAC CM 51 may be operated in one of the following operating modes: Measurement Mode The measurement mode is the standard operating mode. Here the measured values or status messages are displayed. Chapter 6.4 Measurement Mode, page 27 Parameter Mode In the parameter mode you have access to different parameters.
6.4.3 Pushbutton Functions 6.4.3.1 Measurement Channel Selection Press the pushbutton CH. o The instrument selects the next measurement channel. The display of Para for the selected measurement channel will flash for 10 seconds. Figure 13 – Operating the pushbutton CHANNEL 6.4.3.2 Parameter Mode Selection ...
6.4.3.3 Switching the PENNINGVAC on The PENNINGVAC gauge head can be switched on manually. For this, sensor control must be set to Hand ( Chapter 7.2.4 Sensor Switch-on Type (S-on), page 36). Press the pushbutton CH so as to select measurement channel 3. ...
6.4.4 THERMOVAC Alignment Ageing and contamination of the sensor filament will impair the accuracy of the pressure readout. For this it is recommended to align the THERMOVAC gauge head as required. For this, the gauge head must be orientated in the same way in which it is subsequently operated.
Parameter Mode 6.5.1 Selection By operating the PARA pushbutton for approximately 2 seconds the instrument changes from the measurement mode to the parameter mode. The Para indicator comes on for the channel selected in each case. When the instrument is running in the parameter mode and if no pushbutton is operated for 10 seconds, then the instrument will automatically return back to the measurement mode.
6.5.3 Operating Concept From the measurement mode, you can select and change a certain parameter as follows: Press the pushbutton CH, so as to select the desired measurement channel (only necessary when wanting to change a sensor parameter) o The Para status indicator flashes for the selected channel. ...
Basic Terms Switching functions The COMBIVAC CM 51 contains in all 6 switching function relays, i.e. the switching functions 1 and 2 are available for each measurement channel. These switch depending on the measured pressure. The contacts of the relays are floating and may be used for switching purposes through the connection marked Relay Output (...
Figure 19 – Behaviour of a switching function in response to pressure changes Pressure Time Normally open contact COM Common contact Normally closed contact The range between the lower and the upper threshold value produces a certain amount of hysteresis between switching on and switching off of the relay. The hysterisis prevents rapid switching on and off of the switching function when the pressure is close to a switching threshold.
Sensor Parameters (PArA SEn) For each measurement channel there exists a separate set of sensor parameters. Depending on which transmitter is connected to the respective measurement channel, different parameters are available ( Table 10, page 35). Gauge heads ...
7.2.3 Type of Gas Correction PENNINGVAC (GAS The PENNINGVAC gauge heads are normally calibrated for measurements in nitrogen or air. With the aid of the parameter GAS you can set up the measurement channel to other types of gas. For this proceed as follows: ...
7.2.6 Sensor Switch-off Type (S-oFF) This parameter defines how the PENNINGVAC gauge head is switched off. You can set up the switch-off type to the following values: HAnd Manual. The gauge head can be switched off by pressing the pushbutton DOWN (...
