Operation
5
Connect the sensor RPT 010 to the interface "PV.can" of the electronic drive unit us-
ing the converter TIC 010.
The RPT 010 sensor with converter TIC 010 can be connected to and operated with all
electronic drive units with the following software version or higher:
The software version can be queried via parameter [P:312] of the respective electron-
ic drive unit or via [P:351] of the display and control unit.
5Operation
After applying the operating voltage to the electronic drive unit, the connected sensor is
ready for operation. Measured values are meaningful after a stabilization period of 5-10
min.
The pressure measured in the Pirani range depends on the gas type. To adjust for differ-
ent gases, a corresponding gas type correction factor can be set; this generates correct
measurements in the pressure range below 1 hPa. The gas type correction factor is fac-
tory-set for air and N2to 1.00 (see p. 6, chap. 7).
Set the correction factors using [P:742] and [P:752].
5.1 Adjusting the sensor
The sensor is factory-adjusted. Re-adjusting is necessary in the case of, e.g.:
●Contamination
●modifying the mounting orientation
●extreme temperature fluctuations
●aging
Evacuate the vacuum chamber to the pressure p ≤1·10-5 hPa.
Observe the stabilization period.
Enter pressure value [P:740], resp. [P:750] using the value "000000" for low pressure
(corresponds to p < 1·10-5 hPa).
– ‘’ur’’ (under range)
Vent the vacuum system to atmospheric pressure.
Observe the stabilization period.
Set the actual pressure value [P:740] resp. [P:750] exactly to the present pressure,
– e.g. enter 980 hPa using the value "980022".

Access to data types with DCU and HPU
●DCU display and control units up to firmware version 020300 do not support RS-485
parameters of the data type "u_expo_new".
●The HPU 001 display and control device up to firmware version 010300 only supports
read access to RS-485 parameters of the data type "u_expo_new."
Signal evaluation via the interfaces of the electronic drive unit
The electronic drive unit output interfaces serve to the operation of accessories con-
nected to a Pfeiffer Vacuum turbopump using the Pfeiffer Vacuum protocol and the Pfei-
ffer Vacuum parameter set.
Observe valid operating instructions of the used electronic drive unit.
