Mini-Convectron Module Instruction Manual - 275513 9
1.2 Grounding Requirements
See Grounding, Section 2.3.4 in the Installation chapter for more detailed requirements regarding
gauge and system grounding.
1.3 High Voltage
The Mini-Convectron Module does not have higher voltages than the source voltage required for
operation of the module.
However, hazardous voltages may be present in the vacuum system.
Proper Grounding
All components of a vacuum system used with this or any
similar high voltage product must be maintained at Earth
ground for safe operation.
Be aware that grounding this product does not guarantee that
other components of the vacuum system are maintained at
Earth ground.
Verify that the vacuum port to which the Series 275 Module is
mounted is electrically grounded. It is essential for personnel
safety as well as proper operation that the envelope of the
gauge be connected to a facility ground. See Section 2.3.4 for
detailed grounding instructions.
Connect power cords only to properly grounded outlets or
sources.
High Voltage
Be aware that when high voltage is present in any vacuum
system, a life threatening electrical shock hazard may exist
unless all exposed conductors are maintained at Earth ground.
All conductors in, on, or around the vacuum system that are
exposed to potential high voltage electrical discharges must
either be shielded at all times to protect personnel or must be
connected to Earth ground at all times.
This hazard is not unique to this product.
High Voltage
Be aware that an electrical discharge through a gas may
couple dangerous high voltage directly to an ungrounded
conductor almost as effectively as would a copper wire
connection. A person may be seriously injured or even killed
by merely touching an exposed ungrounded conductor at high
potential.
This hazard is not unique to this product.
