Cleaning the CEP Sensor
Roughing pump oils and other fluids condensing or decomposing on the
heated filament can contaminate the Sensor. This changes the emissivity of
the filament, which in turn can cause the calibration to change, especially at
low pressure.
It is not advisable to clean the Sensor. Trying to clean it
may either deform or break the filament, and the deformed
filament would then cause additional error from a shift in
the Sensor's output.
Replace the Sensor if it becomes contaminated (see Accessories, p. 26).
Testing the CEP Sensor
Make sure the Controller is turned off and the Sensor is disconnected from
the cable beforehand.
1. With a #1 Phillips head screwdriver, remove the two
screws to separate the connector/electronics
subassembly from the end of the Sensor as
shown to the right.
2. Check the resistance on the Sensor's PC
board for the pins listed in the first column
below. Test the Sensor with an ohmmeter
with less than 5 mA of current. The
resistance readings of a normal Sensor
measured at atmospheric pressure and at
room temperature (20°C) are listed in the
middle column. If the condition shown in the
right column exists, the Sensor should
be replaced.
