2.2 Safety instructions
Safety instructions according to product life stages
All safety instructions in this document are based on the results of a risk assessment.
Pfeiffer Vacuum has taken into account all the relevant life stages of the product.
Risks during installation
DANGER
Danger to life due to dangerous contact voltage
Voltages above 30 V (AC) or 60 V (DC) are considered dangerous in accordance with EN 61010. If
you come into contact with dangerous contact voltage, this can result in injury through electric shocks
or even death.
►Only connect the product to devices which meet the following criteria:
●Requirements of the earthed protective extra-low voltage (PELV)
●Limited power source (LPS) Class 2
►Secure the line to the product.
–Pfeiffer Vacuum measuring and control equipment complies with this requirement.
Safety
10/50
DANGER
Risk to life due to electric shock
An improperly earthed product is potentially fatal in the event of a fault.
►Connect the product galvanically with the earthed vacuum chamber.
►Ensure that the connection complies with the requirements of a protective bonding according to
EN 61010. (CF and VCR connections comply with this requirement.)
►Use electrically conductive centering rings and circlips for KF connections.
WARNING
Danger from magnetic fields
The product has a magnetic field that disturbs or impairs the function of electronic devices (e.g. pace-
makers).
►Maintain the distances specified by the manufacturer of the pacemakers.
–Pfeiffer Vacuum recommends a safety distance of at least 130 mm between the pacemaker
and the product.
►Avoid the influence of strong magnetic fields by means of magnetic field shielding.
Risks during operation
WARNING
Risk of injury resulting from overpressure in the vacuum system
Opening tensioning pieces with an overpressure > 1000 hPa in the vacuum system can lead to inju-
ries as a result of flying parts, and escaping process medium could prove harmful to health.
Elastomer seals in KF connections (e.g. O-rings) are not resistant to pressures > 2500 hPa. This
could prove harmful to health due to escaping process medium.
►Do not open any tensioning pieces when overpressure is prevalent in the vacuum system.
►Use suitable tensioning pieces for overpressure.
►Use tensioning pieces which can only be opened and closed using a tool (e.g. tightening strap-
circlip).
►Use sealing rings with an outer centering ring.
Risks during maintenance
DANGER
Risk to life due to electric shock
If no earth connection is established, voltage flows become hazardous to the touch and could lead to
electronic components sustaining damage.
►Always tighten the electronic unit with the grub screw.
►Ensure that the grub screw of the electronic unit has been tightened correctly.
DANGER
Electric shock due to moisture entering the unit
Water that has entered the unit will result in personal injury through electric shocks.
►Only operate the unit in a dry environment.
►Operate the unit away from fluids and sources of moisture.
►Do not switch on the unit if fluid has entered it. Instead contact Pfeiffer Vacuum Service.
►Always disconnect the power supply before cleaning the unit.
Safety
11/50
WARNING
Health hazard through poisoning from toxic contaminated components or devices
Toxic process media result in contamination of devices or parts of them. During maintenance work,
there is a risk to health from contact with these poisonous substances. Illegal disposal of toxic sub-
stances causes environmental damage.
►Take suitable safety precautions and prevent health hazards or environmental pollution by toxic
process media.
►Decontaminate affected parts before carrying out maintenance work.
►Wear protective equipment.
WARNING
Health hazards due to cleaning agent
The cleaning agent being used causes health hazards which could include, for example, poisoning,
allergies, skin irritations, chemical burns or damage to the airways.
►When handling cleaning agents, observe the applicable regulations.
►Adhere to safety measures regarding handling and disposal of cleaning agents.
►Be aware of potential reactions with product materials.
Risks when shipping
WARNING
Risk of poisoning from contaminated products
Where products that contain harmful substances are shipped for maintenance or repair purposes, the
health and safety of service personnel is at risk.
►Comply with the instructions for safe distribution.
Risks during disposal
WARNING

3 Product description
3.1 Function
The gauge has two measurement systems:
●Pirani measurement system
●Cold cathode measurement system according to the inverted magnetron principle
The Pirani measurement system is always switched on. The gauge only activates the cold cathode
measurement system controlled by the Pirani measurement system at pressures p < 1 × 10-2 hPa. Spe-
cific linking of both measuring systems ensures that the measuring systems generally behave as one
standardized measuring system for the user. The measuring signal is logarithmically dependent on the
pressure across the entire measuring range. The gauge applies the optimum measuring configuration to
the respective pressure range.

Recommendations
►Ensure where possible that the gauge is not exposed to any vibrations during operation, as vibra-
tions in general will lead to deviations in the measured values.
►Mount the gauge in a horizontal to upright mounting orientation (flange facing downwards).
–This prevents condensate and particles from accumulating in the measurement chamber.
►Fit a seal with centering ring and filter for applications susceptible to pollution and to protect the
measuring system against contamination.
►Ensure that both trimming potentiometers of the gauge can be easily accessed with a screwdriver
once fitted.
►Remove the magnetic unit of the gauge temporarily wherever installation is only possible with the
magnetic unit removed.
–This will facilitate assembly of the CF flange connection.
Procedure
1. Remove the protective cap and store in a safe place.
2. Assemble the gauge with vacuum components from the Pfeiffer Vacuum Components Shop on
the vacuum system.
