WARNING:
Damage from vapors
If condensable gases or vapors are measured, there is a risk of pump corrosion
and damage.
•
Do not immediately switch off the device after the measurement. Allow
device to run in "Background cleanup" mode for at least an additional 20
minutes. Only then will the pump oil be free of condensed vapors.
WARNING:
Overpressure
Overpressure may destroy the vacuum pump, the vacuum system, and the
gaskets.
•
Do not create an overpressure with the device.
•
Only use the device for leak testing.
WARNING:
Halogens in gas
If gas whose molecules contain halogen is measured with the device, the
cathode layer of the ion source may be attacked. This may result in the burning
out of the cathode.
•
Do not test gas whose molecules contain halogens such as fluorine or
chlorine.
