mbar, the pressure indication is
linear.
For gases other than air, the pressure can be determined by
means of a simple conversion formula:

Installation
Vacuum Connection
DANGER
DANGER: overpressure in the vacuum system
>1 bar
Injury caused by released parts and harm
caused by escaping process gases can result if
clamps are opened while the vacuum system is
pressurized.
Do not open any clamps while the vacuum sys-
tem is pressurized. Use the type of clamps which
are suited to overpressure.
DANGER
DANGER: overpressure in the vacuum system
>2.5 bar
KF flange connections with elastomer seals (e.g.
O-rings) cannot withstand such pressures. Pro-
cess media can thus leak and possibly damage
your health.
Use O-rings provided with an outer centering
ring.
DANGER
The gauge must be electrically connected to the
grounded vacuum chamber. This connection
must conform to the requirements of a protective
connection according to EN 61010:
• CF connections fulfill this requirement.
• For gauges with a KF flange, use a conduc-
tive metallic clamping ring
Caution
Caution: vacuum component
Dirt and damages impair the function of the
vacuum component.
When handling vacuum components, take ap-
propriate measures to ensure cleanliness and
prevent damages.
Caution
Caution: dirt sensitive area
Touching the product or parts thereof with one's
bare hands increases the desorption rate.
Always wear clean, lint-free gloves and use
clean tools when working in this area.
WARNING
WARNING: electric arcing
Helium may cause electric arcing with detrimen-
tal effects on the electronics of the product.
Before performing any tightness tests put the
product out of operation and remove the elec-
tronics unit.
The gauge may be mounted in any orientation. To
keep condensates and particles from getting into the
measuring chamber preferably choose a horizontal
to upright position and possibly use a seal with a
centering ring and filter.
When making a CF flange connection, it can be
advantageous to temporarily remove the electronics
and the magnet unit (

Remove the protective lid and install the product at the
vacuum system.
