Operation

A. Turn Power On

Plug the AC power end of the power cord into an electrical outlet. The loudspeaker will “beep” 

and test all indicators while the controller executes its self test. After being turned on, the instru-

ment will go through the following sequence:

• “beeper”

• indicators for 

TORR

MTORR

MBAR

Μ

BAR

PASCAL

KPASCAL

GAGE

 1, 

GAGE

 2

• 10 LED indicators for set points and other functions

• all four digits will light, including decimal points

• display shows the model number of the instrument, 

908A

• display shows software version, e.g. 

1.10

The 908A will go into normal operation and begin measuring pressure. If the CDG is not connect-

ed, the display will show 

OFF

. If the system pressure is between 100% and 105% of the CDG 

Full Scale Range the display will flash, if the pressure is greater than 105% of the CDG Full Scale 

Range the display will show 

OFF.

B. Front Panel Controls

The Model 908A allows flexible configuration of operation using simple entry from the front pan-

el buttons labeled 

GAUGE

 

SELECT

SELECT

RAISE

 and 

LOWER

. Parameters which you may adjust 

are selected by scrolling through list which begins with 

SET

 

PT

 1 

HIGH

. Each time the 

SELECT

 but-

ton is pushed, the led indicator advances to the next parameter. The 

LED

 indicators will be lit to 

indicate which parameter is being adjusted, and the digital display will flash to indicate the value 

of the parameter being adjusted. 

Each push of a button will give a short “beep” from the loudspeaker to confirm the button was 

pushed. If you have reached the limit of adjustment or if the button push is not allowed, the loud-

speaker will give a long “beep”.

Following is a detailed description of parameter selection and adjustment:

C. Set Pt 1 High

Default Value:  OFF

This sets the high limit of the set point. Above this pressure, the set point relay will be de-ener-

gized. Press the 

RAISE

 or 

LOWER

 buttons to enter the value desired. The minimum value is 

OFF

this shuts the set point off. The next increment is 0.2% of the full scale range; for example, if the 

full scale range is 1 torr, the increment sequence is: 

OFF

, 2.0 mTorr, 3.0 mTorr, etc. 

When the 

RAISE

 or 

LOWER

 buttons are pressed, the display will change slowly at first. If you hold 

the button down for a few seconds, the rate of change will increase to allow you to make large 

changes more quickly. 

SET

 

PT

 1 

HIGH

 operates in conjunction with 

SET

 

PT

 1 

LOW

. While the 908A is in this mode, the set 

point may be assigned to either 

GAGE

 1 or 

GAGE

 2 by pressing the 

GAUGE

 

SELECT

 button.
