BG 5171 BEN / B (2017-02) PBR 260.oi 17
The PBR 260 has two definable switching on/off ranges with their corresponding
overlapping ranges. The switching on/off range is selected with the <P ↔ BA>
switch and should be chosen in such a way that it is situated outside the process
pressure range. The positions "high" (default) and "low" are available. Preferably,
"low" should be selected as contamination of the hot cathode system is reduced at
a lower pressure.
Caution
Since the switch position is polled only upon activation of the gauge,
the switching on/off range must be selected before the gauge is turned
on.

The gauge is factory-calibrated. Adjustment may become necessary due to use
under different climatic conditions, extreme temperatures, contamination or aging
(→ 19).
The measurement accuracy is reduced in the pressure range above 1×10

and below 1×10
