  • Page 19: Important Information: Equipment Marking (Atex)

    The overall category of the equipment depends on the connected com- ponents. If the connected components do not comply with the classifi- cation of the VACUUBRAND equipment, the specified category of the VACUUBRAND equipment is no longer valid. Vacuum pumps and vacuum gauges in category 3 are intended for con- nection to equipment in which during normal operation explosive atmo- spheres caused by gases, vapors or mists normally don’t occur;...

  • Page 29: Notes On Operation

    page 29 of 64 Notes on operation Operation principle of the VSK 3000 The VSK 3000 is equipped with a capacitive pressure transducer with ceramic diaphragm to measure the actual pressure independent of the gas type and depending on the vacuum, i.e., absolute. The pressure value is displayed with a resolution of 0.1 Torr (mbar) in the pressure range from 0.1 to 795 Torr (0.1 to 1060 mbar).

Do not use more than one DCP 3000 within the same VACUU•BUS system. Several DCP 3000 in the same VACUU•BUS system will inter- fere with each other and result in error messages of the connected com- ponents (pressure transducers, valves).
