► Only operate the unit in a dry environment. ► Operate the unit away from fluids and sources of moisture. ► Do not switch on the unit if fluid has entered it. Instead contact Pfeiffer Vacuum Service. ► Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning the unit.
► Operate the unit away from fluids and sources of moisture. ► Take special precautions if there is a risk of dripping water. ► Do not switch on the unit if fluid has penetrated into it, instead contact the Pfeiffer Vacuum Serv- ice Center.
Maintenance Recommended final pressure CMR 374 < 5 × 10 < 4 × 10 torr CMR 375 < 5 × 10 < 4 × 10 torr Tbl. 8: Recommended final pressure for zero point calibration Operation with a measurement instrument If you operate the gauge with a measurement instrument, zero adjustment must be carried out at the measurement instrument for the entire measuring system: Calibrate the gauge first and then the measurement instrument.
Maintenance The “STATUS“ LED flashes until zero point calibration is complete (duration ≤ 8 s). The “STATUS“ LED flashes if zero point calibration fails, or if the gauge has a negative output signal (< -20 mV) at the final pressure. Following zero point calibration, the gauge automatically returns to measuring mode. The “STATUS“...
