4 Operation

Put the gauge into operation. If you are using an INFICON con-
troller, define the measurement range (

[2], [3], [4]).

Warm-up time: approx. 1 minute.

4.1

Zeroing the Gauge

The gauge is factory calibrated while "standing upright". It re-
quires no maintenance.

Due to mounting orientation, long time operation or contamina-
tion, a zero drift could occur and zero adjustment may become
necessary.

For adjusting the zero, operate the gauge under the same con-
stant ambient conditions and in the same mounting orientation
as normally.

If the gauge is operated via a controller, the zero of the

whole measuring system has to be adjusted on the
controller: first, adjust the zero of the gauge and then,
the zero of the controller.

4.1.1 Zero

Adjustment

The zero can be adjusted via
• the button on the gauge, or
• the digital input "Remote Zero Adjust " (briefly apply the

supply voltage to pin 7 (D-Sub connector) or to pin 4 (FCC68
and Binder M12 connector)), or

• an INFICON Vacuum Gauge Controller (VGC series).
