Setup
For information regarding the installation of the pressure gauge, refer to the manual for that specific
instrument.
Caution
Mount the PDR-C-1C/2C in a location that provides adequate air
circulation around the unit.
In some cases the sensor cable attaches to the sensor with bare wires to a terminal block and in
other cases the cable attaches to the sensor by a connector. MKS’ standard color code for sensor
cables follows:

Grounds
The PDR-C-1C/2C has a three ground system which allows for the separation of the power supply
return (D GND) and the DC output signal return (A GND) and the chassis ground. When used with
pressure gauges that have only a two ground system, connect the D GND and A GND to that
gauge’s common ground and then connect the chassis ground of the PDR to the chassis ground of
the gauge.
