Cleaning and assembling components

Cleaning the pressure transducer

The controller itself is maintenance-free.
If the vacuum system is contaminated (oil, particles, etc.), contamination of the pressure transducer will
influence the accuracy of measurement.

Attention: Never use hard objects to clean the pressure transducer!

➨ Fill the chamber of the pressure transducer with a solvent (e. g. benzene) and allow sufficient cleaning

time. Observe all regulations concerning usage and disposal of solvents!

➨ Drain the solvent and dispose of in accordance with regulations, repeat cleaning if necessary.

➨ Rinse the chamber of the pressure transducer several times with alcohol in order to remove all solvent

residues.

☞ Never use a spiky or sharp-edged tool to clean the pressure transducer.

➨ Allow the pressure transducer to dry.

➨ Readjust the pressure transducer if necessary.

➨ Tighten union nut first by hand and then tighten by one full

turn using open-ended wrench.
