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.
Installation 5 Installation 5.1 Establishing vacuum connection 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.
1. Remove the protective cap and store in a safe place. 2. Assemble the gauge with vacuum components from the Pfeiffer Vacuum Components Shop the vacuum system. 3. If it was previously necessary to remove the electronic unit of the gauge, assemble the electronic unit once again.
● Requirements of the earthed protective extra-low voltage (PELV) ● Limited power source (LPS) Class 2 ► Secure the line to the product. – Pfeiffer Vacuum measuring and control equipment complies with this requirement. NOTICE Damage sustained as a result of improper connection Improper connection, incorrect polarity or impermissible supply voltage will damage the gauge.
● RJ-45 plug Establishing electric connection ► Connect the measurement cable to the gauge. ► Connect the gauge to a Pfeiffer Vacuum total pressure measuring and control unit or an evalua- tion unit provided by the customer. Switching functions <SP1> <SP2>...

Installation Manufacturing measurement cable Additional information regarding the measurement cable type and conductor cross-sections can be ob- tained from the technical data. 1. Observe the following steps to ensure optimum signal quality, whereby ground loops, differences in potential or EMC will influence the measuring signal. 2.
Operation 6 Operation Once the supply voltage has been established, the measuring signal is available at the electrical con- nection between pins 3 and 5. Recommendations ► Respect the minimum stabilization period of 10 minutes. ► Respect the relation between measuring signal and pressure. ►...
Operation ► Observe the constants for converting measuring signal and pressure. ► Convert measuring signal into pressure: ((U - c) / 1.286) p = 10 ► Convert pressure into measuring signal: U = c + 1.286 × log 6.2 Determining effective pressure with correction factors The measuring signal is gas type-dependent.
Operation Gas type Correction factor (C) Neon (Ne) Argon (Ar) Krypton (Kr) Xenon (Xe) Dichlorodifluoromethane (CCl , R12) The correction factors provided are mean values.

Operation Procedure 1. Press the "SP1" or "SP2" button using a stylus and keep it pressed. – The gauge changes to switching function mode and displays the current threshold value for 5 seconds at the measuring signal output. After 5 seconds, the threshold value setting shifts to- wards the upper setting limit.
Disassembly 7 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.
