The vacuum gauge was adjusted using factory standards, which are traceble through
regular calibration in an accredited laboratory (German Calibration service) to the
national standard. Depending on the process and/or accuracy requirements, check
the adjustment and readjust if necessary. For readjustment, the device has to be ad-
justed both at atmospheric pressure as well as under vacuum.
The adjustment mode can be activated only if the process control is inactive. Press
key STOP if necessary.
Readjustment
Adjustment at atmospheric pressure
Ventilate the controller and/or the vacuum system. Make sure
that the vacuum connection at the controller is at atmospheric
pressure.

Note:
To determine the actual atmospheric pressure, use an accurate barometer or get accurate reading
from the weather service, the next airport.......(take into account the difference in altitude between e. g.
airport and laboratory).

Adjustment under vacuum
Evacuate the controller to a pressure < 0.5 mbar (e. g. by ap-
plying a good rotary vane pump).

During CAL is displayed, press key START/STOP.
☞
The reading is automatically adjusted to ”zero”.
➨
Press key STOP to confirm.
Note:
Adjustment under vacuum with an actual pressure higher than 0.5 mbar reduces the accuracy of
the measurement. If the pressure is significantly higher than 0.5 mbar, adjustment to a reference pressure
is recommended.

Adjustment at a reference pressure
Instead of adjustment under vacuum to a pressure < 0.5 mbar,
adjustment to a reference pressure within the range of 0 ..... 20
mbar is possible.

to adjust the display to the reference
pressure at the vacuum line within the range of 0 ..... 20
mbar.
➨
Press key STOP to confirm.
Note:
The accuracy of the value of the reference pressure will directly affect the accuracy of the adjustment.
If the nominal ultimate vacuum of a diaphragm pump is used as reference vacuum, the accuracy of the
controller might be doubtful. The diaphragm pump may not achieve the specified value (due to condensate,
poor state, failure of valves or the diaphragm).
