DANGER
Overpressure in the vacuum system >2.5bar
KF flange connections with elastomer seals (e.g.O-rings) cannot
withstand such pressures. Process media can thus leak and
possibly damage your health.
· Use O-rings provided with an outer centering ring.
DANGER
Protective ground
Products that are not correctly connected to ground can be ex-
tremely hazardous in the event of a fault. The gauge must be
electrically connected to the grounded vacuum chamber. This
connection must conform to the requirements of a protective
connection according to EN61010:
· CF and VCR connections fulfill this requirement.
· For gauges with a KF vacuum connection, use a conductive
metallic clamping ring.
· For gauges with a ½" tube, take appropriate measures to fulfill
this requirement.
Caution
Vacuum component
Dirt and damages impair the function of the vacuum component.
· When handling vacuum components, take appropriate mea-
sures to ensure cleanliness and prevent damages.
