Use the equipment only as intended, that is, for measurement of vacuum in vessels
designed for that purpose. Any other use will automatically invalidate all warranty
and liability claims.
Remain aware of safety and risks.
Connecting the device
☞ Do not permit any uncontrolled pressurizing (e.g., make sure that pipelines
cannot become blocked) to avoid a risk of bursting!
• Comply with maximum permissible pressures at the gauge head, see section
”Technical data”.
• Connect the vacuum gauge head gas tight to the vacuum application.
• Consider possible reactions of the process media due to the heat generated by
the product.
• When working with residues, aggressive or condensable media, install a gas
washing bottle if necessary.
Remove the protective cover and keep. Connect the vacuum gauge head via small
flange to the vacuum application.
The vacuum gauge head may be mounted in any orientation, though an orientation
is to be preferred in which condensate cannot flow towards the measuring chamber.
Switch off the DCP 3000 before connecting the MPT 100 / MPT 200 via VACUU•BUS
cable to the vacuum gauge.
Allow the equipment to equilibrate to ambient temperature if you bring it from cold
environment into a room prior to operation. Notice if there is water condensation on
cold surfaces.
Soiling and damage will affect the function of the vacuum gauge head.
Comply with all applicable and relevant safety requirements (regulations and
guidelines). Implement the required actions and adopt suitable safety meas-
ures.
Ambient conditions
• Adopt suitable measures in case of differences from recommended conditions,
e.g., using the equipment outdoors, or in an atmosphere of conductive pollution
or external condensation.
To the best of our knowledge the equipment is in compliance with the requirements
of the applicable EC-directives and harmonized standards (see ”Declaration of Con-
formity”) with regard to design, type and model. Directive EN 61010-1 gives in detail
the conditions under which the equipment can be operated safely (see also IP de-
gree of protection).
Operating conditions
➨ The devices are not suitable for applications which involve dangerous or ex-
plosive gases or explosive or flammable mixtures.
