  If your TPG 261 firmware needs updating, e.g. for 

implementing a new gauge type, please contact 
your local Pfeiffer Vacuum service center. 

 
 

 

Most of the settings you may have defined in the Pa-
rameter and Test mode will not be affected by a firm-
ware update. To be sure, note your parameter settings 
before upgrading the firmware (

 

 96). 

 
 

 

n

  Turn the TPG 261 off. 

o

  Connect the TPG 261 with the serial COM1 

(COM2) interface of your PC via a 9-pin D-Sub 
extension cable (

 

 23) (the firmware of the 

TPG 261 cannot be loaded from a Mac). 

p

  With a pin (ø<2 mm), depress the switch on the 

top of the unit, under the housing, and turn the 
TPG 261 on. 

 

After power on, the display remains dark.
