Caution
Caution: vacuum component
Dirt and damages impair the function of the vacuum component.
When handling vacuum components, take appropriate measures to
ensure cleanliness and prevent damages.
The gauge can be mounted in any orientation. However, it should be mounted so
that any particles present cannot enter the measuring chamber (
→
13).
See the dimensional drawing for space requirements (
→
8).
Remove the protective cap.
The protective cap will be
needed for maintenance work.
Make the flange connection.
When making a CF flange
connection, it can be advantageous to
temporarily remove the magnet
(
→
section 3.1.1).
DANGER
DANGER: overpressure in the vacuum system >250 kPa
KF flange connections with elastomer sealing rings (e.g.
O-rings) cannot withstand such pressures. Process media can
thus leak and possibly damage your health.
Use sealing rings provided with an outer centering ring.
DANGER
DANGER: overpressure in the vacuum system >100 kPa
If clamps are opened unintentionally injury can be caused by
catapulted parts.
Use the type of clamps which can only be opened and closed
by means of a tool (e.g. hose clip clamping ring).
