Calibration Each IG40 BA/EX gauge head has been individually calibrated in the course of final factory testing. This ensures a high accuracy of the pressure readout. The appropriate sensitivity coefficient factor can be found on the calibration sticker located on the reverse side of the cover of this manual.
D0300030001EN - Maintenance Maintenance WARNING: Contaminated parts can be detrimental to health and environment. Before you begin to work, find out whether any parts are contaminated. Adhere to the relevant regulations and take the necessary precautions when handling contaminated parts. CAUTION: Dirt and damage can impair the function of the vacuum component.
Anode Cathode Terminal Hex screw IG40 BA IG40 EX The cathode should be positioned as parallel as possible with respect to the anode. The initially applicable calibration values do not apply any longer after exchanging the cathode. Deviations up to 15% may occur.
D0300030001EN - Storage Storage CAUTION: Inappropriate storage leads to an increase of the desorption rate and/or may result in mechanical damage of the product. Cover the vacuum ports of the product with protective lids or grease free aluminum foil. Do not exceed the admissible storage temperature range. Page 14...
D0300030001EN - Return the equipment or components for service Return the equipment or components for service Before you send your equipment to us for service or for any other reason, you must send us a completed Declaration of Contamination of Vacuum Equipment and Components – Form HS2.
Such components must be separated according to their materials and recycled. Other Disposal Information The IG40 BA/EX and associated cables are within the scope of the European Directive on Waste and Electronic Equipment, 2012/19/EU.
