4 Installation 
 
  Use screened cables only (connect screen to barrel of connector). If both 
ends of the screen are connected to ground, compensating currents must 
be prevented (e.g. by connecting all involved units to a common power 
distributor). 
In a Profibus-DP installation (IF300P board), use the recommended special 
cable only (→  [2]). 
 
 
 
  For safety reasons, vacant slots should always be covered with blank 
panels. 
Disconnect all cables from the unit before installing / removing any plug-
in modules. 
 
  Modules should only be handled on an ESD protected bench. 
 
 
 
•  Switch off the unit and wait one minute 
•  Remove all cables (power cable last) 
•  Unscrew the blind plate / plug-in module 
•  Insert / remove plug-in module 
•  Screw on the plug-in module / blind plate 
•  Connect the cables (mains cable first) 
•  Switch on the unit again 
 
  To ensure correct operation, check that the screws of the plug-in 
modules are tightened. 
 
 
 
  Additional protective measures must be taken if certain processes in the 
vacuum system (e.g. flashovers) can cause hazardous voltages on the 
gauge terminals. 
 
  Although the gauge cables are screened, they should not be routed in 
parallel to lines producing strong electrical noise. 
 
Connect the gauge to the <TPR> connector on the rear panel. The connectors are 
locked so that they cannot be separated accidentally.
