Intended use The Ceramic Capacitance Gauges of the CCR 35x series are vacuum gauges and allow total pressure measurement of gases in different measuring ranges (→ 2). Functional principle The CCR gauge consists of a ceramic capacitive sensor and an electronic, which converts the capacity into a direct voltage output signal.

Installation WARNING: Fragile components Impacts can damage the ceramic sensor. Do not drop the product and prevent shocks. Vacuum connection DANGER: Overpressure in the vacuum system >1 bar Injury caused by released parts and harm caused by escaping process gases can result if clamps are opened while the vacuum system is pressurized.

Mount the gauge so that no vibrations occur. The gauge may be mounted in any orientation. To keep condensates and particles from getting into the measuring chamber preferably choose a horizontal to upright position. If adjustment should be possible after the gauge has been installed, be sure to install it so that the buttons can be accessed with a pin.
Electrical connection Make sure that the gauge is properly connected to the vacuum system. The gauge may only be connected to power supplies, instruments or control devices that conform to the requirements of a grounded protective extralow voltage (PELV) and limited power source (LPS), Class 2.

If you do not have a measurement cable, configure a measurement cable according to the following scheme. Connect the measurement cable (Cable → 8). Meas. signal Electrical connection Pin 1 Output signal (measuring signal) Pin 2 n.c. Pin 3 n.c.
Operation Put the gauge in operation. Warm-up time of the gauge: approximately 1 Minute. Calibrating the gauge The gauge is factory calibrated in “standing upright” position and is maintenance-free. Installation position, long time operation and contamination can lead to a zero drift and a zero adjustment will become necessary.

Evacuate the gauge to a pressure according to the following table: Recommended final pressure F.S. for zero adjustment <5×10 Torr <7×10 <7×10 mbar 1000 Torr 100 Torr <5×10 Torr <7×10 <7×10 mbar <5×10 Torr <7×10 <7×10 mbar 10 Torr If the final pressure is too high for a zero adjustment (>25% of F.S.), zero cannot be reached.
Removal WARNING: Fragile components Impacts can damage the ceramic sensor. Do not drop the product and prevent shocks. DANGER: Contaminated parts Contaminated parts can be detrimental to health and environment. Before beginning to work, find out whether any parts are contaminated. Adhere to the relevant regulations and take the necessary precautions when handling contaminated parts.
