General information on handling the VSP 3000
The VSP 3000 pressure transducer which has been developed particu-
larly for use in chemical laboratories is a pressure sensor working in the
fine vacuum range. Over the whole measuring range the pressure read-
ing is indicated in exponential notation.
Allow the VSP 3000 a period of approx. 20 minutes to preheat and to
meet its specifications. Even in case of the vacuum gauge being switched
off, the VSP 3000 stays ready for operation. To de-energize the pressure
transducer, unplug either its VACUU•BUS line or the power supply of the
vacuum gauge.
The interior of the pressure transducer is highly sensitive!
Do not insert fingers or tools into the measuring chamber.
VACUU•BUS
Read the pressure transducer with the DCP 3000 vacuum gauge, con-
nected via VACUU•BUS line. Maximum cable length inside buildings:
30m (~32yd) (extension cable VACUU•BUS 2m (6.6ft): order-no. 612552
/ extension cable VACUU•BUS 10m (32.8ft): order-no. 2618493).
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).
