<ZERO> Adjustment
The zero can be adjusted via
• the
• the diagnostic port (→ [4]),
• the digital input "Remote Zero" (briefly apply the
supply voltage to pin 10),
• the RS232C interface (→ [4]),
• an INFICON Vacuum Gauge Controller (VGC series).
While the gauge is being heated and/or under atmos-
pheric pressure, the zeroing function is locked in order
for operating errors to be prevented.
Evacuate the gauge to a pressure according to the table
below:

If the final pressure is too high for zero adjustment (>25%
of the F.S.), the zero cannot be reached and the
the factory setting and adjust the zero again (
→ 32).
Operate the gauge for at least 90 minutes under constant
ambient conditions (until the signal is stable).
