Gases other than Nitrogen / air
WARNING!
Do not attempt to use with gases other than
nitrogen (N
2
) or air without referring to correction factor data ta-
bles.
Ideal Vacuum Products gauges and modules are calibrated for
direct readout of nitrogen or air. Do not attempt to use with other
gases such as argon (Ar) or carbon dioxide (CO
2
) unless accu-
rate conversion data for N
2
to other gas is properly used. Refer
to sections titled "Using the gauge with different gases",
"Display" and "Analog Output" for a more complete discussion.
WARNING!
Do not use the convection gauge connected
to this device in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of
flammable gases, vapors or fumes. Do not use this device to
measure the pressure of explosive or combustible gases or gas
mixtures. The sensor wire in the gauge normally operates at
125 °C, but if malfunction should occur, the wire temperature
could exceed the ignition temperature of certain combustible
gases and gas mixture. This could cause an explosion which
could result in serious injury or death.
