Setpoint relays
The module includes four single-pole, single throw (SPST) relays. Each relay
has programmable activation and deactivation setpoints. The setpoint is a
programmable value representing an N
2
or air pressure at which the relay
activates or deactivates.
• When the module is shipped from the factory, relays setpoints are out of
any acceptable operating range, and relays will not operate.
• You must configure relays to make them operable.
• After relays have been made operable, you may send an O command to
disable any specified relay.
Reading pressure values
The graphs on pages 46–48 enable you to determine the indicated N
2
or air
pressure that corresponds to a specific true pressure of 10 other commonly
used process gases.
Refer to Table 4-7 to find the appropriate graph:
Find the point at which the horizontal line representing true pressure
intercepts the vertical line representing indicated N
2
(nitrogen equivalent)
pressure. For example:
• in Figure 4-3, an indicated N
2
or air pressure of 10
–2
Torr corresponds to
a true He pressure of 1.5 x 10
–2
Torr.
• In Figure 4-4, an indicated N
2
or air pressure of 20 Torr corresponds to a
true Ar pressure of 700 Torr.
• In Figure 4-5, an indicated N
2
or air pressure of 6 Torr corresponds to a
true Freon 22 pressure of 200 Torr.
If the gas being used is not included among those listed on pages 46–48, or
for a gas mixture, you will need to generate a calibration curve using a
gas-independent transfer standard such as a capacitance manometer.
