Operation 8.1 Determining effective pressure with correction factors The measuring signal of the gauge depends on the type of gas. Pfeiffer Vacuum has calibrated the gauge to nitrogen (N ) or dry air. The correction factor can be used to compensate for the gas type de- pendency.
Operation Reading and setting Pirani correction factor [P:742] ► Read the current correction factor via parameter [P:742]. ► Via parameter [P:742], set the correction factor to a value between 0.2 and 8.0 with 2 decimal places. – Example: Correction factor 0.20 = 000020 –...
Disassembly 9 Disassembly DANGER Risk to life due to electric shock An improperly earthed product is potentially fatal in the event of a fault. ► Connect the product galvanically with the earthed vacuum chamber. ► Ensure that the connection complies with the requirements of a protective bonding according to EN 61010.
► 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.
