DANGER
Caution: possibly damaged productPutting a damaged product into operation canbe extremely dangerous.Make sure the product is not damaged. If youassume that the product is damaged makesure it is not put into operation again.
It can be assumed that the equipment is not safe tooperate when:
• it has sustained any visible damages
• it no longer functions
• it has been stored for a longer period underunfavorable conditions
• it has been subjected to severe transport stress
The product has been designed for installation in a 19"rack frame built according to the DIN 41 494 standard(→ 2 74).
DANGER
Caution: protection class of the rackIf the product is installed in a rack, it is likelyto lower the protection class of the rack(protection against foreign bodies and water)e.g. the EN 60204-1 regulations for switchcabinets.Take appropriate measures for the rack tomeet the specifications of the protectionclass.
Take the appropriate safety measures (→ 2 14, 79)when voltages above 30 V∼ or 60 V= are applied at theconnector <s1> or <s2> .
3.1 Installing theequipment
... in a rack
BG 805 096 BE (9907) DualGauge.om Installation 13
Note
The temperature inside the rack must notexceed 50 °C.
If you intend to use the Dual-Gauge™ as desktop unit,attach the two enclosed rubberfeed to and slide the enclosedrubber bar on its front panelfrom below.
WARNING
Before connecting the DualGauge™ to themains power supply, verify that the powerrating (indicated on the product nameplate)agrees with the local mains power specifica-tions. If they do not agree convert the voltageof the unit according to the instructions inAppendix A.
... as desktop unit
3.2 Connections
3.2.1 Mains powerconnector
14 Installation BG 805 096 BE (9907) DualGauge.om
DANGER
The power connector may only be pluggedinto a socket with protective ground. Use only3-pole mains power cables with the protectiveground connected correctly. This protectionmust not be nullified by using an extensioncable without ground conductor.To assure continuous grounding protection,connect the mains power cable before con-necting any other cables. In the same way,disconnect all other cables before unpluggingthe mains power cable.
If the unit is installed in a rack, the mains voltage mustbe supplied and turned on via a central distributor.
Here, you can connect either:
• a Pirani gauge
• a cold cathode gauge
• a Compact FullRange™ CC Gauge
• a Pirani/high pressure gauge
• a linear gauge
3.2.2 <sensor 1>,<sensor 2>connector
BG 805 096 BE (9907) DualGauge.om Installation 15
DANGER
Since the IMR 260 and CMR 27x have ahigher power consumption than other gauges,only one of these types can be connectedand operated in combination with any othergauge type. 1)
Always turn the unit off before connecting or discon-necting a gauge.
Use this connector to:
• turn the Pirani/high pressure gauge on/off e.g. via anexternal signal
• further evaluate the analog measurement signals
• evaluate any error signals
Use the enclosed connector (Pin assignments → 2 61).
Use this relay output if you want to use the switchingfunctions for external control.
1) Two IMR 260 may be connected. The DualGauge™
ensures that only one IMR 260 is operated at a time.
3.2.3 <control>connector
3.2.4 <s1>, <s2>connector
16 Installation BG 805 096 BE (9907) DualGauge.om
DANGER
Take the appropriate safety measures(→ 2 79) and consider the technical data(→ 2 56, 61). When the DualGauge™ is usedas desktop unit a maximum voltage of 30 V∼or 60 V= may be connected (protective lowvoltage).
Skilled personnel
Use the enclosed connector and screw it tothe connector of the unit. The connector mayonly be plugged in or unplugged when thepower line is idle.
BG 805 096 BE (9907) DualGauge.om Operation 17
4 Operation
WARNING
Before turning the unit on, make sure that theoperating voltage of the equipment agreeswith the local mains power. Also verify thatthe unit is correctly grounded, that all thegauges and cables are correctly installed(→ 2 12) and take the technical data(→ 2 56) into consideration.
DANGER
Any break in the protective grounding insideor outside the unit, and any loosening of thegrounding connection can make the unit dan-gerous to operate. Intentional interruption ofthe grounding line is not admissible.
The mains switch is located on the rear panel. Turn onstand-alone units from that power switch, rack mountedunits from the central power distributor.
After power on the unit:
• runs through a self-diagnostics routine
• identifies the gauges connected
• activates the parameters effective when it was lastturned off
• switches to measurement mode (on sensor 1)
• adjusts the parameters (if any other gauges wereconnected in the meantime)
• displays a pressure indication, a status indication, oran error message

This function can be used for two different purposes:
There are two methods for adjusting the zero of a lineargauge. Note, however, that the actual pressure must belower than the lower limit of the measurement range ofthe gauge:
− Set the zero by adjusting the „ZERO“ potentiometerof the gauge → & 15, 16, 17
− With the offset function of the measurement andcontrol unit set the current pressure reading to zero

The advantage of the second method is that no directaccess to the potentiometer of the gauge is required.
The pressure reading of the measurement and controlunit can be set to zero at any pressure within the meas-urement range of a linear gauge. All subsequent read-ings will then be relative to that offset value and maytherefore be positive or negative. This method allows formonitoring of pressure variations during a process.

DANGER
According to EN 61010, voltages above30 V~ or 60 V= present a hazard of contact.
Skilled personnel
If such voltages are supplied to the <s1> or<s2> connector, the following instructionsmust be adhered to under any circumstances.
• The relevant rules and regulations for therespective application must be respected.In particular, conductors, isolation andfuses must be dimensioned correctly andmounted professionally.
• Depending on the voltage supplied, cablesproviding a double isolation must be used.
• The supplied connector is admitted for250 V~. The enclosed cable housing mustbe used; however, it does not providedouble isolation.
• Therefore, the current-carrying connectormust be protected against accidental con-tact. This is achieved by installing the unitin such a way that access to its back side(<s1>, <s2> connectors) is only possible bymeans of a tool or a key.
• The plug must be screwed onto the socketof the unit.
• The protective cover (e.g. door of theswitch cabinet) must be marked with acorresponding warning sign.
• Before performing any work at the <s1>,<s2> connectors, make sure it is idle.
• A voltage presenting a hazard of contactand a protective low voltage must not beapplied to the <s1>, <s2> connectors at thesame time.
• The current-carrying connector must not beaccessible when withdrawn.
