To Reinstall a Micro-Ion Vacuum Gauge

Material needed

•

KF16 O-ring 0905-1463

Procedure

Place the KF16 O-ring in the groove on the analyzer chamber flange.
Replace it if it is worn or damaged.

Hold the gauge flange against the chamber flange with the O-ring. Push the
clamp over both flanges.

Insert the long screw, add the thumbnut, and tighten.

Attach the cable to the back of the gauge.
