NOTE:
Capacitance Diaphragm Gauge Tubes with a range of greater than 1 Torr will
not
control the Cold
Cathode automatic turn on!
CAPACITANCE DIAPHRAGM MODULES
- The rear panel of the capacitance diaphragm modules are also
shown in Fig. 3.7. The only difference that can be seen from the rear panel of a thermocouple module is the use of
the letters CDG instead of TC and the presence of a SPAN potentiometer. The gauge tube cables can be
connected by inserting the 5-pin cable connector into the socket and turning the shell clockwise to engage the
screw threads for retention of the connector. Note that the capacitance diaphragm cables have different wiring and
markings from the thermocouple cable.
The capacitance diaphragm modules are designed to work with the type 5__ capacitance diaphragm gauge tubes.
Ranges are as follows:
SOFT 1.33 AND LOWER SOFT 1.34 AND HIGHER

An analog "0-10V" output (normally 0 to 10VDC) is available at the connector in the center of the panel. An
optional 0 to 10 mvDC is also available (See Section 902). There are three terminals available. The center terminal
is a common ground and negative terminal for both the upper and lower diaphragm stations. The upper and lower
terminals are the positive signals for the upper and lower stations, respectively.
Between the cable connector and the analog "0-10V
" output terminal is a ZERO potentiometer. This potentiometer
is used, if required, to adjust the zero at a pressure two decades below the lower limit of the gauge. A second
SPAN potentiometer is used to adjust the 5__ capacitance diaphragm gauge at the maximum (full scale) value for
the sensor.
