Safety Cautions
For safe use of this vacuum gauge, carefully read this manual and comply with the warnings and cautions
given in the manual.
Turn OFF power.
Before touching any terminal on the rear of the meter or if there is a possibility of
touching i
t, turn OFF the vacuum gauge power and the power applied to the
setpoint output terminal. Contact with the terminal, to which the voltage (
24
VDC) is applied, will cause electric shock if power is turned ON.
Turn OFF power.
If the vacuum gauge fails, immediately turn OFF the power.
Use of a failed gauge may cause fire or electric shock. For repair, contact your
local ULVAC representative or ULVAC JAPAN.
Turn OFF power.
Before touching the power terminal on the rear of the controller or if there is a
possibility of touching it, turn OFF the power to the vacuum gauge. Contact
with the terminal, to which the voltage (24 VDC
) is applied, will cause electric
shock if power is turned ON.
Turn OFF power.
If the vacuum gauge gets unusually hot or gives o
ff smoke or unusual smell,
immediately turn OFF the power. Otherwise, fire can result. For safety,
contact your local ULVAC representative or ULVAC JAPAN.
Turn OFF power.
Turn OFF the power before replacing a fuse. Replacing a fuse with the power
turned ON can cause electric shock.
Turn OFF power.
Whenever mounting the gauge, unplug the power cable.
Before operating the gauge, make sure that components are securely connected.
Use rated fuse.
Use a fuse of the prescribed rating. Do not use a
fuse other than the prescribed
one or do not short the fuse holder. Damage or fire may result.
Check line voltage.
Prior to turning ON the power, make sure that the vacuum gauge operating
voltage and the supply voltage are in agreement. Connection of
incorrect power
can cause damage to the vacuum gauge and fire.
Check connection.
The contact output capacity is 125 VAC 1
A (resistance load). If power higher
than this is opened/closed, do not use the contact of the vacuum gauge, but use a
large capacity switch in conjunction.
Check connection.
The recorder output is outputted afloat from ground potential. Always connect
the recorder input to the recorder terminal insulated from ground. If it is
connected to ground erroneously, the meter will not
indicate correct values and the
vacuum gauge may fail.
Don't disassemble.
Do not try to disassemble the vacuum gauge (meter, controller, cable and sensor
head).
Don't modify.
Do not modify the vacuum gauge (meter, controller, cable and sensor head).
If it
is modified, its functions are not warranted. Also fire or electric shock may
result.

SAFETY CAUTIONS
iii
Operating environment
Do not connect the sensor head to a test object of which pressure is in excess of
atmospheric pressure. If the pressure in the sensor he
ad exceeds atmospheric
pressure, the sensor head will be damaged or it will pop out from the connector,
causing injury to the surrounding, including human body. If the pressure exceeds
atmospheric pressure, provide an isolation valve so that the pressure
in the sensor
head does not exceed atmospheric pressure.
Operating environment
Do not use the gauge in a place where it may be splashed with water. If it is
splashed with water, failure, earth leakage or fire can result.
Ventilation
Do not plug the
air vents of the vacuum gauge controller. If the air vents are
plugged, heat will be contained inside and the gauge may be damaged.
Keep out foreign matter.
If foreign matter like metal fragments or combustibles are admitted into the
vacuum gauge throu
gh the air vents or other openings, remove them. Otherwise,
the vacuum gauge may be damaged.
Operating conditions
Operate the vacuum gauge under the environment set forth in the specifications.
Repacking for transfer
If the vacuum gauge is to be shi
pped to other site, repack it in the same way as on
delivery. If the gauge is shipped bare, it may be damaged.
Disposal
When discarding the vacuum gauge, comply with your local regulations. If the
gauge was used in an environment that can cause hazards to human body, have
it disposed of by an authorized specialist in disposal.
Customer shall be responsible for the cost relating to disinstallation.
Meter panel
Don’t long contact with chemical cleaning cloth, don’t wipe with benzene or
thinner. The pointer may become unstable due to static electricity. In the case,
apply a commercially available antistatic agent to the cover.
Connection
The contact output capacity is 100VAC/0.5A, 24VDC/1A (resistance load).
If power higher than this is opened/closed, do not use the contact of the vacuum
gauge, but use a large capacity switch in conjunction.
✔Note
Maintenance
Aluminum electrolytic capacitor is used for the electric circuit in the sensor unit.
Generally, the life expectancy of the aluminum electrolytic
capacity is limited
and the higher the surrounding temperature, the shorter the life. It is
recommended to replace the aluminum electrolytic capacitor once every five
years or at the time or repair or overhaul to prevent components from being
damaged.
✔Note
Lifetime of sensor head cable and connector
Female connector is used in the sensor head cable and detection unit. This
female connector has a lifetime. A large current load may cause a fire in the
connector connection area. Avoid the frequent insert/remove
of connector to
prevent a heavy load and loosens of the connector connection.
