1.16.1 Sensor Installation
CAUTION
Do not touch any surface on the vacuum side of the
sensor with bare fingers. If it is necessary to touch any of
these parts, always wear clean linen, nylon, powder free
latex or vinyl laboratory gloves.
Before installing the sensor on your system, check for
any signs of loose or broken parts.
Do not attempt to clean the sensor in any kind of solvent.
Cleaning the sensor requires its disassembly. If the
sensor is contaminated and needs cleaning, contact
INFICON.
1.16.1.1 ConFlat Flanges
The sensor is installed on a vacuum system with a 2.75 in. DN40 ConFlat flange.
ConFlat flanges, and similar compatible types made by other manufacturers, are
used for attaching devices to ports on high vacuum systems. If there are no
concerns with the installation of this type of flange, proceed to
Attaching the Sensor to the Vacuum Chamber, on page 1-11
.
NOTE:
If your system does not have a port with a compatible mating flange, an
adapter will be necessary.
To install these flanges without leaks, follow proper operating procedures. These
flanges are sealed with a metal gasket and can be heated for bakeout to
temperatures of up to 300°C. For bakeout temperatures when a sensor is installed,
