Description of Symbols and Messages used in this manual WARNING: indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Features The HPM 4/5/6 is a battery-operated hand-held vacuum gauge that supports the Teledyne Hastings DV-4, DV-5 and DV-6 series vacuum gauge tubes. It is designed for portability and ease of use in applications where AC power is not readily available.
Specifications WARNING: Do not operate instruments exceeding the specifications listed below. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury and/or damage to the equipment. HPM 4/5/6 Vacuum Gauge: Range DV-4 – 0.01 − 20 Torr DV-5 – 0.1 − 100 mTorr DV-6 –...
Teflon® tape. For particularly dirty systems, Teledyne Hastings offers a particle dropout trap containing a series of nine separate baffles which prevent solid contaminants from having a direct path to the sensor’s thermocouple.
723-6531). Cable Removal/Installation The cable shipped with the HPM 4/5/6 (Part # CB-HPM 4/5/6) is attached to the instrument using a locking- type connector. This cable will need to be removed when replacing the instrument’s battery or when replacing a damaged cable. Refer to the following figures and instructions below: 2.2.1.
Digital AVC Instruction Manual Battery Installation/Replacement The HPM 4/5/6 is shipped with a 9-volt alkaline PP3 battery (IEC # 6LR61, ANSI # 1604A). The battery compartment is on the back of the instrument inside the rubber boot. 1. See 2.2.1 to remove the instrument from the boot and disconnect the cable.
Digital AVC Instruction Manual 3. Vacuum Gauge Operation Front Panel This section describes the primary operation of the user interface. See section 3.4 for operation in other modes. 3.1.1. Pressure Graph This shows a general indication of current pressure within the measurable range. If the pressure is higher than the measurable range, the graph flashes and displays an arrow on the right end.
Changes the pressure units and functions as the down key in adjustment modes. Electrical Connector Teledyne Hastings vacuum gauge tubes interface with the HPM 4/5/6 via the included octal connector. The connector is “keyed” so that proper connection is assured (only fits the correct orientation). Always grip the connector by its cover and not the cable when plugging or unplugging.
User Options and Adjustments 3.4.1. Auto-Shutoff In order to maximize battery life, the HPM 4/5/6 will automatically power down after about 5 minutes. To temporarily disable this behavior, hold the power button down at power up until “AUTO OFF DISABLED” is displayed.
Digital AVC Instruction Manual Calibration The HPM 4/5/6 is calibrated for all three tube types (DV-4, DV-5, and DV-6) at the factory. This ensures valid readings will be displayed for each tube type when delivered. The user may re-calibrate the HPM 4/5/6 if desired using either a reference tube or a vacuum gauge tube at a known vacuum using the instructions below.
Digital AVC Instruction Manual Thermal Coefficient The HPM 4/5/6 generates an AC heating voltage using an internal transformer. This heating voltage is supplied to the vacuum tube to warm up the thermocouples in order to measure the pressure. As the ambient temperature increases or decreases the internal resistance of the copper winding in the transformer also changes.
