SECTION 2
Installation
This section is designed to assist in getting a new pressure gauge into operation as quickly and
easily as possible. Please read the following instructions thoroughly before installing the instrument.
2.1 Receiving Inspection
Carefully unpack the Hastings Model 2002 Instrument (part # HPM-2002), transducer (part
#HPM-2002s) and cable (part # CB 2000). Inspect all items for any obvious signs of damage due
to shipment. Immediately advise the carrier who delivered the shipment if any damage is suspected.
Compare each component shipped against the packing list. Ensure that all parts are present (i.e.
transducer, power supply, cables, etc.). In addition to the components listed on the packing list, the
shipment includes: AC power cord, panel mounting hardware, 7-pin circular DIN connector, and a
front-panel gasket for users needing a NEMA 12 rating. Optional equipment or accessories will be
listed separately on the packing list.
2.2 Quick Start
Follow this procedure to get your new Model 2000 vacuum gauge up and running.
1. Remove sensor from protective packaging.
2. Transducer tube may be installed in any orientation. However if condensation is likely to occur,
then the port should be orientated downward.
3. When installing 1/8” NPT style transducer tube, use the 7/16” wrench flats on the tube stem.
4. Connect transducer cable (orange) to controller .
5. Connect other end of transducer cable to transducer. A finger tight connection is adequate for
proper operation.
6. If you have computer interface or process control options, these cables can now be attached.
7. I/O port diagram is given in the manual.
8. Connect the AC power cord. The Model 2002 automatically adjusts for 90-245 VAC 50/60 Hz.
9. Turn on power switch. Gauge is now reading pressure in units of “Torr” (default).
10. For best accuracy, the gauge should now be zeroed. Pump the vacuum system down to low
10
-6
Torr (if possible). Ideally the gauge should be operated in this condition for one hour.
11. Place the Model 2002 in the “CAL” mode by using the mode button. Press the up and down
arrows simultaneously (“CAL” light is now flashing).
12. Press the “ZERO” button once and return to the “RUN” mode using the mode button.
The gauge is now ready for normal operation and the display is a true indication of the system
pressure.
2.3 Transducer Installation
The Model 2002 transducer is shipped with a protective plastic cap which keeps dust out of the
tube. This cap must be removed prior to installation. The transducer may be installed in any
orientation. Although the transducer is rugged and will perform well in many harsh environments,
the tube should be installed in a clean and careful manner. The tube is configured with the vacuum
fitting requested. If your molecular sieve vacuum environment is highly contaminated or has
unique fitting requirements, a Hastings filter or special adapter may be needed. Please contact the
Hastings Instruments Sales Department for assistance in your system configuration.
