Operation principle of the VSK 3000
The VSK 3000 is equipped with a capacitive pressure transducer with ceramic diaphragm to measure
the actual pressure
independent of the gas type and depending on the vacuum, i. e. absolute.
Changing the vacuum connector
Installing the hose nozzle:
Unscrew the flange (using a 17 mm open-end wrench, if necessary) to expose the compression fitting
(1). Slip the compression nut, and then the ferrule, onto the smooth end of the supplied hose nozzle (2).
Slide the smooth end of the hose nozzle onto the compression fitting on the VSK 3000 gauge head, and
tighten the compression nut firmly finger-tight (3).
