® The gauges belong to the SKY Smart Sensors family and can be operated in connection with an INFICON Vacuum Gauge Controller (VGC series) or another appropriate controller. Functional Principle A ceramic diaphragm is deflected by pressure. The deflection is measured capacitively and converted into an analog linear out- put signal by the digital electronics.

4 | Installation INFICON Installation WARNING Fragile components The ceramic sensor may be damaged by impacts. · Do not drop the product and prevent shocks and impacts. DANGER Leaking process media High-intensity mechanical, chemical or thermal impacts can cause leaks in the measuring sensor. Process media can thus leak and possibly cause hazards, if overpressure is in the vac- uum system.
Page 17
INFICON Installation | 4 DANGER Overpressure in the vacuum system >2.5 bar KF flange connections with elastomer seals (e.g. O-rings) cannot withstand such pressures. Process media can thus leak and possibly damage your health. · Use O-rings provided with an outer centering ring.

4 | Installation INFICON Caution Dirt sensitive area Touching the product or parts thereof with bare hands increases the desorption rate. · Always wear clean, lint-free gloves and use clean tools when working in this area. Mount the gauge so that no vibrations occur. The gauge may be mounted in any orientation.

· Connect the supply common with protective ground directly at the power. · Use differential measurement input (signal common and supply common conducted separately). · Potential difference between supply common and housing ≤18 V (overvoltage protection). INFICON controllers fulfill these requirements. tina52e1-h (2024-09)

Page 26
5 | Operation INFICON If the final pressure is too high for zero adjustment (>25% of the FS), the zero cannot be reached and the <STATUS> LED blinks green. If this is the case, activate the factory set- ting and adjust the zero again (® 2 32).

5 | Operation INFICON Keep the button depressed max. ø1.1 mm · Fine adjustment of the zero adjustment value: Release the button. Briefly press it again within 3 s. The value changes by one unit (push <ZERO> button in intervals of 1 s).
INFICON Operation | 5 Switching Functions The two setpoints can be set to any pressure within the mea- surement range of the gauge. The current setpoint setting · can be read/written via the diagnostic port · is output at the D-sub connector instead of the measurement signal and can be measured with a voltmeter after the <SP>...
Page 30
5 | Operation INFICON DANGER Malfunction If processes are controlled via the signal output, keep in mind that by pushing the <SP> button the measurement signal is sup- pressed and the corresponding threshold value is output instead. This can cause malfunctions.
Page 31
INFICON Operation | 5 Keep the button depressed max. ø1.1 mm · Change of direction (inverse ramp): Release the button. Press and keep it depressed again within 3...5 s (the flashing frequency of the <STATUS> indicator changes briefly). · Fine adjustment of the threshold value: Release the but- ton.
5 | Operation INFICON Activating the Factory Setting (Factory Reset) All user defined parameters (e.g. zero, filter) are restored to their default values. Loading of the default parameters is irreversible. Loading the default parameters: Put the gauge out of operation.
INFICON Deinstallation | 6 Accessories Deinstallation Preconditions: · Vacuum system vented · Vacuum system cooled to <50 °C Power Connection Put the gauge out of operation. Unfasten the lock screws and disconnect the sensor cable. tina52e1-h (2024-09)
6 | Deinstallation INFICON Vacuum connection DANGER Hot surface Touching the hot surface (>50 °C) can cause burns. · Put the product out of operation and allow it to cool down. WARNING Fragile components The ceramic sensor may be damaged by impacts.

INFICON Deinstallation | 6 Caution Dirt sensitive area Touching the product or parts thereof with bare hands increases the desorption rate. · Always wear clean, lint-free gloves and use clean tools when working in this area. Remove the protection shield.
Gauge failures due to contamination are not covered by the warranty. · We recommend checking the zero at regular inter- vals. INFICON assumes no liability and the warranty becomes null and void if any repair work is carried out by the end-user or third parties. tina52e1-h...
