Product description 3 Product description 3.1 Function RS485 device status RS485 Fig. 1: Structure of the HPT gauge 1 RS-485 address selector switch "RS-485" connector 2 Status LED for the gauge 3.1.1 Gauge mode of operation The Pirani measurement system is always switched on. The Pirani measurement signal is for switching the HIMS on and off, thus protecting the HIMS from burning or excessive contamination.
Product description tion area between P and P is the pressure area in which the gauge proportionally uses both the upper lower Pirani measurement system and the HIMS to determine the pressure. The Pirani proportion decreases as the pressure decreases. In the "hard" switch position, the switchover between Pirani and HIMS is immediate, without a transition.
You will need all the data from the rating plate to safely identify the product when communicating with Pfeiffer Vacuum. ► To ensure clear identification of the product when communicating with Pfeiffer Vacuum, always keep all of the information on the rating plate to hand.
Transport and storage 4 Transport and storage 4.1 Transporting the product NOTICE Damage caused by incorrect transport Transport in unsuitable packaging or failure to install all transport locks can result in damage to the product. ► Comply with the instructions for safe transport. Packing We recommend keeping the transport packaging and original protective cover.
