Mini-Convectron Module with RS-485
Instruction Manual - 275545
Atmosphere Adjust
1.
Allow the system pressure to rise to atmospheric pressure of air.
2.
Use Table 4-1 to determine atmospheric pressure in torr for your area.
For sea level, send TS7.60E+02.
4.2
Use with Gases Other
Than N
2
and Air
Before using the Mini-Convectron gauge to measure the pressure of other
gases make certain the TS adjustment is correctly set for air.
It is important to understand that the indicated pressure on a
Mini-Convectron gauge depends on the type of gas in the tube, the gas
pressure in the tube, and on the orientation of the tube axis.
Mini-Convectron gauges are supplied calibrated for N
2
within the accuracy
of the instrument. With certain safety precautions, the Mini-Convectron
gauge may be used to measure pressure of other gases.
Mini-Convectron gauge tubes are thermal conductivity gauges of the Pirani
type. These gauges transduce gas pressure by measuring the heat loss from
a heated sensor wire maintained at constant temperature. For gases other
than N
2
and air, the heat loss is different at any given true pressure and thus
the indicated reading will be different.
