• If any internal error is detected during the self-diagnosis of this
device, the status LED lights up red. If this occurs, turn off the
power and contact the azbil Group.
• Do not apply a pressure to this device that exceeds the mar-
ginal pressure. Doing so might cause device failure.
• Take appropriate measures so that no contaminant enters this de-
vice. Otherwise a measurement error or device failure might occur.
• Take appropriate measures so that no foreign matter flows into this
device. If it does, measurement error or device failure could result.
• For the pressure range characterized by molecular flow
and
intermediate flow, if the self-heating temperature of this device
is different from the temperature inside the chamber to be
measured, a minute pressure difference occurs due to thermal
transpiration. To achieve especially accurate measurement, this
must be taken into account. Factory calibration of this device as-
sumes that no temperature difference exists. For details, refer to
T. Takaishi and Y. Sensui, Trans. Faraday Soc. 59 (1963) 2503.
• Do not press the zero point adjustment buttons with excessive
force. Doing so may damage the device.
Zero point adjustment
• Adjust the zero point before using this device. Zero point adjust-
ment should be done with a sufficient vacuum (1/20,000 or less of the
selected pressure range span), 1 hour or longer after the power was
turned on, after warm-up is complete.
• For accurate measurement, periodic adjustment of the zero point is
recommended.
• When the zero point is adjusted, the bias adjustment values inside the
device are updated. The updated bias adjustment value is added to the
pressure measurement, which is then output. The factory setting for the
bias adjustment value is 0.
Adjust the zero point in either of the two ways described below.
lAuto zero point adjustment
(1) Apply a vacuum with a pressure of 1/20,000 or less of the selected
pressure range.
(2) Keep the auto zero point adjustment button pressed for 3s. After
zero point adjustment:
• If the bias adjustment value is within ± 5%FS, the status LED
flashes green three times.
• If the bias adjustment value is between ±5 and ±20%FS, the sta-
tus LED flashes orange three times.
Handling Precautions
• Auto zero point adjustment cannot be done in the following
cases even if the button is pressed:
• Before warm-up is complete.
• If an error occurs.
• If the required bias adjustment value is beyond ±20%FS.
In these cases, the status LED flashes alternately red and orange
three times.
lManual zero point adjustment
(1) Apply a vacuum with a pressure of 1/20,000 or less of the selected
pressure range.
(2) The 0-10V output voltage changes when the up/down zero adjust-
ment button is pressed. Adjust the output voltage to 0.
When the button is pressed, the speed at which the 0-10V value
changes depends on how long the button is pressed. Keep it pressed for
a long time to do a quick rough adjustment. Afterwards, press it repeat-
edly for a short time to make fine adjustments.
• During adjustment using the up/down zero point button:
•
If the bias adjustment value is within ±5%FS, the status LED flashes green.
• If the bias adjustment value is between ±5 and ±20%FS, the status
LED flashes orange.
• The status LED stops flashing about 3s after the up/down zero point
adjustment button is released, and the bias adjustment value is then set.
•
Zero adjustment is restricted to the range in which the bias adjustment
value is ±20%FS. If the bias adjustment value reaches ±20%FS as the up/
down zero point adjustment button is pressed, the status LED flashes red.
Handling Precautions
• Manual zero point adjustment cannot be done in the following
cases even if the button is pressed:
• Before warm-up is complete.
• If an error occurs.
• If the pressure value exceeds the measurement range.
In these cases, the status LED flashes alternately red and orange
three times.
lResetting of bias adjustment value
To reset the bias adjustment value to its factory setting, keep the auto
zero point adjustment button pressed for 30s or longer. The zero point
is adjusted after 3s, and the bias value is reset after 30s. The status
LED then flashes alternately green and orange three times.
