General information
To operate the vacuum gauge DCP 3000, at least one external
pressure transducer VSK 3000 or VSP 3000 or MPT 100 is required!
Read and comply with this manual before installing or operating the equip-
ment.
Remove all packing material, remove the product from its packing-box, remove the
protective covers and keep, inspect the equipment.
If the equipment is damaged, notify the supplier and the carrier in writing within three
days; state the item number of the product together with the order number and the
supplier’s invoice number. Retain all packing material for inspection.
Do not use the equipment if it is damaged.
If the equipment is not used immediately, replace the protective covers. Store the
equipment in suitable conditions.
Intended use
☞ OperatethedeviceonlyincombinationwithVACUUBRANDgenuineaccesso-
ries.Makesure thattheindividual componentsareonlyconnected, combined
and operated according to their design and as indicated in the instructions for
use.
☞ Comply with notes on correct vacuum and electrical connections, see section
”Useandoperation”.
• Thedeviceisdesignedforambient and gas temperatures at the pressure trans-
ducerconnectionof+10°Cto+40°Catcontinuousoperation,upto+80°Cfor
short periods (< 5 minutes) at the pressure transducer. If installing the device into
a cabinet or a housing check maximum temperature. Ensure that the maximum
permitted gas temperature at the pressure transducer (see ”Technical data”) is
not exceeded.
Usetheequipmentfortheintendeduseonly,i.e.formeasurementofvacuuminves-
sels designed for that purpose.
Connecting the device
☞Avoid uncontrolled overpressure (e.g., when connecting to a locked or blocked
tubing system). Risk of bursting.
• Comply with max. permitted pressure at the pressure transducer, see section
”Technical data”.
•Connecthosesatthepressuretransducergastight.
• The device is equipped with a short circuit proof wide range power supply
with an integrated overload protection.
•  Checkthatmains voltageandcurrent conformwiththe equipment(seerating
plate).
• Prior to using the wall power supply, assemble and lock the suitable mains plug
(included in delivery) to the power supply.

• Comply with max. permitted ambient and gas temperature (see ”Technical
data”) and make sure ventilation is adequate if the equipment is installed in a
housing or if ambient temperature is elevated.
• Avoidhighheatsupply(e.g.,duetohotprocessgases).
• Incaseofresiduesoraggressiveorcondensablemediainstallagaswashing
bottle if necessary.
Position the pressure transducer and its vacuum connection lines so that conden-
satecannotowtowardsthepressuretransducer.
Ensurestabilityofthehoseconnection.Complywithallrelevantsafety require-
ments.
When the device is brought from cold environment into a warm room for operation
bedewing may occur. Allow the device to acclimatise.
Complywith national safety regulations and safety requirements concerning the
useofvacuumandelectricalequipment.Complywithallapplicable and relevant
safety requirements (regulations and guidelines), implement the required ac-
tions and adopt suitable safety measures.
Ambient conditions
To the best of our knowledge the equipment is in compliance with the requirements
of the applicable EC-directives and harmonized standards with regard to design,
typeandmodel,especiallydirectiveEN61010-1.Thisdirectivegivesindetailcon-
ditions under which the equipment can be operated safely (see also IP degree of
protection).
Adopt suitable measures in case of differences, like using the equipment outdoors,
installationinaltitudesofmorethan1000mabovemeansealevel,conductivepol-
lution or dewiness.
Operating conditions
➨The devices are not suitable for applications which involve dangerous or ex-
plosive gases or explosive or ammable mixtures.
Ensure that the materials of the wetted parts are compatible with the substances
processedinthevacuumsystem,seesection“Technicaldata”.
Safety during operation
➨Adopt suitable measures to prevent the release of dangerous, toxic, explosive,
corrosive,noxiousorpollutinguids,vapoursandgases.
➨Prevent any part of the human body from coming in contact with the vacuum.
OperationwithpressuretransducerVSK 3000:
☞Attention: Ifthepressureishigherthanapproximately1060mbarthepressure
reading becomes incorrect (saturation of the pressure transducer). The display
ashes.Immediate pressure relief necessary! Risk of bursting!

OperationwithpressuretransducerMPT 100:
☞SeeinstructionsforuseofMPT100.
•  Useonlygenuine spare parts and accessories.Otherwisesafetyandperform-
ance of the equipment as well as the electromagnetic compatibility of the equip-
ment might be reduced.
 PossiblytheCEmarkorthecTÜVusmarkbecomevoidifnotusingOEMspare

Electronicequipmentisnever100%fail-safe.Thismayleadtoanill-denedsta-
tus of the equipment or of other connected devices. Provide protective measures
against malfunction and failure. Ensure that in case of failure the device and the
vacuum system always will turn into a safe status.
Maintenance and repair
➨ Beforestartingmaintenanceunplugthepowersupply(wallplug).
➨Wait two minutes after isolating the equipment from mains to allow the capaci-
tors to discharge.
• Attention: Due to the operation the equipment might be contaminated by harmful
or dangerous substances, clean or decontaminate prior to maintenance.
Ensure that maintenance is done only by suitably trained and supervised techni-
cians.
Interior components of the device can only be repaired at the factory.
Returnthepressuretransducertothefactoryforrepair.Openingthehousingofa
pressure transducer will void any warranty.
Returned products will not be repaired or calibrated until the completed health and
safety clearance form has been received. In order to comply with law (occupational,
health and safety regulations, safety at work law and regulations for environmental
protection) vacuum pumps, components and measuring instruments returned to the
manufacturer can be repaired only when certain procedures (see section ”Notes on
return to the factory”) are followed.
