    Safety Information

 Explosive Gases and Solvents

WARNING!

Do not use the Model 960 Dual-Hybrid Gauge Controller to measure the pressure of combustible 

gas or solvent mixtures. The Convection gauge normally operates at low temperatures, but it is 

possible that momentary transients or controller malfunction may cause ignition of combustible 

mixtures, which then might explode and cause damage to equipment and injury to personnel.

Limitation on use of Compression Mounts

WARNING!

Do not use a compression mount (quick-connect) for attaching the gauge tube to the vacuum sys-

tem in applications that may develop positive pressures. Positive pressures may cause the tube to 

be blown out of a compression fitting and damage equipment and injure personnel.

Caution - High Voltage

The Terranova Model 960 and the 525 Cold Cathode Gauge (CCG) operate at 

High Voltage. The High Voltage of -2,000 volts can be dangerous to equipment 

and personnel if exposed and contacted. Connectors and cables protected and 

normally safe, but care must be exercised. Always turn power OFF prior to con-

necting and disconnecting cables.
