Product description 3 Product description 3.1 Function The gauge has a capacitive measuring element with a ceramic diaphragm. The pressure deflects the ceramic diaphragm. The gauge detects the deflection of the diaphragm as a change in the capacitance. The electronics convert the capacitance change to an output signal (DC). The output signal is linear with the pressure to be measured.
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 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.
► Only connect the product to devices which meet the following criteria: ● 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. 21/44...
