The pump-down graph plots time horizontally and logs pressure vertically. The horizontal time
scale is selected using the configuration option “Pump-down time”. The vertical pressure scale
is logarithmic, indicating order of magnitude from one micron to atmosphere.
The top left is the current vacuum pressure display figure. In the center of the first line is the
Vacuum System Analysis, “PUMP”, and to the right is one of either the pump down rate in
units per minute, or the data set window size in hours, minutes and seconds. The “STABLE” case shows data set window size.

In this mode, the pump down graph is shown with a linear pressure scale that is fit to the
pressure range of the data set.
The height of the graph display is the pressure range of the data set in a linear scale (not log).
The top left figure is the maximum value in this range, and the bottom left figure is the
minimum value in this range. The top right figure is the current or most recent value in the
instrument.
Please Note: Sometimes this visualization is not useful, showing noise. This noise comes
from the instrument’s process of measurement, as well as the vacuum system under
measurement. The auto scaling graph is a data visualization microscope, in this sense.
Useful Quick Tip: This visualization can show a very small climbing or descending trend that
the vacuum analysis algorithm has not declared as a leak or pumping.

Section 5: Menu of Settings
Display
Pressing the SEL button from the vacuum display screen will present three submenus: Settings,
Calibration and Set-points.
The settings menu is a linear series of menu options that are stepped or skipped through using
the SEL button.
Above each button is a utility hint to indicate specific button function. The SKIP hint is above
the SEL button to indicate that the SEL button is used to step or skip to the next menu screen
with no configuration change. The ENTER hint above the ENT button indicates that this button
is used to enter the display mode as shown in the menu screen. Using the UP or DOWN
buttons will change the option available on the menu screen.
In the example above, the configuration menu is ready to change the display to the Pumpdown
Graph. In this state pressing the ENTER button will change the display to the Pumpdown
Graph, or pressing the SKIP button will ignore the state of the menu screen and leave the
display mode unchanged.
Number format
The number format setting defines the vacuum pressure number format throughout all modes of
display.
The UP and DOWN buttons select a format type from “High Resolution”, “Scientific” and “Low
Resolution”, and the ENT button saves the current choice.

11
High Resolution
The High Resolution format has three digits of precision. For example, an internal vacuum
value of 1234 microns (µm Hg) would be displayed as 1.23 Torr in the High Resolution format
with torr units. Additionally, this format gives the raw vacuum measurement data which may be
useful for trending, but could also result in a noisier reading.
Low Resolution
The Low Resolution format has two digits of precision. For example, an internal vacuum value
of 1234 microns (µm Hg) would be displayed as 1.2 Torr in the Low Resolution numeric format
with torr units. This number format also gives a filtered number depending on the accuracy of
the gauge in the pressure range of measurement. For example, it may count by 100 Torr
increments around 400 Torr since the accuracy in this range is +/- 100 Torr, which results in a
‘quieter’ gauge.
Scientific
The scientific format has two digits of precision with a base ten exponent following conventional
usage. For example, an internal vacuum value of 1234 microns (µm Hg) would be displayed as
1.2 x 100 Torr. For any resolution below 2 millitorr, the scientific format must be used.
Set-point value
The Set Point Value is defined in terms of the current vacuum pressure units.
The Set Point indicates a pump down to configured pressure state according to the setting of
the Set Point Action. See “Set Point Operation” for more detail.
Set-point action
The Set Point Action is defined as one of a set of choices, including: None, Beep, Beep and
Flash, or Flash.
For details of operation, refer to the section “Set Point Operation”.

The pump-down time configuration option defines the width of the Pumpdown Graph and
pumpdown rate window.
The pumpdown rate is the difference between the start and end of the pressure data shown in
the pumpdown graph. For example using a pump down time of ten minutes, a system pump
down from atmospheric pressure to one torr in ten minutes has a pump down rate of 760 Torr
per ten minutes or 76 Torr per minute.
Auto Off time
Use this setting to save battery power during periods of inactivity. The figure zero will disable
the auto off battery saver feature. To see the specifics of this feature, look at the Auto Off Operation section.With a positive (non-zero) value, the unit will indicate the Auto Off.
12
Backlight time
Use this setting to save battery power during periods of inactivity. The setting of“0” will never
turn off the backlight. Set the Backlight time to a specific number of minutes to determine when
the backlight will turn off, which can help conserve battery life.
Sound
The two sound configurations determine the audible Set Point Alarm and Calibration Storage
Acknowledgement tones, named “Sound SP” and “Sound Cal” respectively.
The Set Point Alarm sound is typically configured to a different value from the Calibration
Acknowledgement sound.
Self-Test
The self-test function reviews the Tube and Battery status, and resets the internal Elapsed

Time Clock, Pump Down Data, and Auto Off subsystems. Enter the Self-Test sequence with this
option. Refer to the section “Self-Test Operation” for more detail.
Measurement Units
The units settings permits numeric vacuum values to be displayed in any one of a 12 available
vacuum pressure units including microns, millitorr, millimeters of mercury, Torr, mbar, Bar, Pa,
kPa, inches of mercury, mm of water, inches of water and PSIA. Note that inches of mercury and inches of water is zero referenced to 760 Torr absolute pressure.
Useful Quick Note: A negative number indicates vacuum, a positive number indicates
pressure relative to sea level.
Units pumpdown rate
The Units Pump-down configuration option permits the pumpdown rate figure displayed in the
Pumpdown Graph to employ identical or different units from the numeric vacuum units. Use this
option to change the pumpdown rate units—allowing you to sync with your standard operating
procedures for your particular vacuum system.
The “Sync” option, shown in this example (above), maintains the pumpdown rate units as
identical to the primary vacuum units. Note: “Sync” is the recommended configuration—
employing mixed units could be a source of misinterpretation.
Calibration
This configuration option is available from the main menu and will enter the field calibration
mode.

The last step in the configuration menu reports the software version identifier.
Useful Quick Tip: This software version identifier is useful for communicating with the factory
or distributor support.
Factory Defaults
The last step in the settings screen will return all the settings to factory defaults. This does not
affect calibration. Tap the “reset” button to restore factory defaults.
Auto Off Operation
The auto off feature will engage only in the unattended mode of operation. The XactGauge™
XG-110 Gauge will not turn itself off when:
● connected to a system under vacuum (less than 100 Torr, pump down feature set)
● any button activity on instrument will reset “auto-off” time elapse
● in calibration mode
Set Point Operation
A Set Point can be enabled to alert the user when a specific vacuum level is reached. Enter the
menu option “Setpoints”. Adjust to the desired setpoint using the Up and Down arrows. Then
press Next and use the Up and Down arrows to choose the desired alert; Beep, Flash, or
Beep/Flash. The unit will alert the user when the defined vacuum level is reached. Press any
button to silence the alert.

Section 6: Vacuum System Analysis
The result of the Vacuum System Analysis is one of “PUMP”, “LEAK”, “OUTGAS” or “STABLE”
and is shown in some display modes.
Internally, one data set serves the Pump down and Time Auto line graphs as well as the
Vacuum System Analysis. The data is visualized in the Pump down and Time Auto line
graphs. The data set is maintained continuously in every mode of operation.
Graphing Emailed Pump Down Date | Available with Bluetooth option: Review this manual
to learn how you can take the emailed data from the XactGauge™ XG-110 Gauge and create a
graph to illustrate a vacuum pump down curve for base line or troubleshooting; or to help
understand the leak rate for transformer, enclosure, HVAC system or other type of repair. This
data can also act as proof of ultimate vacuum level achieved.
Data set size
The width of the data set in time is configured with the option “Pumpdown time”. This figure is
employed to determine the time slices that are accumulated at a rate of roughly three updates
per second. A small difference will accrue depending on the actual data set span in hours,
minutes, and seconds. The Pump down graph with a “STABLE” case (under 100 Torr) will
display the actual time window size in hours, minutes and seconds.
Differential Analysis
The Vacuum System Analysis looks at the last quarter of the pump down data set to determine
the state of the system under test. The whole analysis is recomputed approximately three times
per second.
The “LEAK” result indicates pressure increasing towards atmosphere with rates that are not
typically indicative of outgassing alone.
The “PUMP” result indicates a strong pressure descent to vacuum as for a system under
vacuum pump down.
The “OUTGAS” result indicates evidence of outgassing. Evidence of outgassing is a
pressure trend that is ascending at a rate that is decreasing. Eventually the rate of ascent
decreases until the pressure stabilizes.
The “STABLE” result indicates no particular evidence of venting (LEAK) or outgassing,
and is shown for slow pump down rates.
Reset Historical Data
The pump down data set is cleared in power-off states: turned off, or dead or missing batteries.

Section 8: Field Calibration
From the Settings view, choose “Calibration”, pictured below, press the ENT button to enter the
field calibration mode.
The field calibration mode, shown below, shows digital signal counts and torr pressure times
10,000 (“Torr x 10+4”). For example, one micron (or millitorr) is “10” in the “Torr x 10+4” scale.
Calibration parameters
The calibration method employs a “zero, mid and span” model. The “ATM” parameter is
modified to align to a calibrated 760 Torr reference, and the “VAC” parameter is modified to
align to 5 millitorr. In the “Torr x 10+4” scale employed in the Calibration mode, these pressures
are represented with the figures 7600000 and 50, respectively.
Calibration functions
The calibration mode can operate using a function concept. The current function is one of eight
available functions (operations) and is shown above the EXIT button hint as “F/LOAD” in this
example. The four functions are F/LOAD, F/STORE, F/ATM, F/MID, F/VAC, F/2T, F/700T, and
F/2mT. The SEL button changes the current function among these four possibilities.
Functions F/ATM, F/MID and F/VAC
The F/ATM and F/VAC functions enable the UP and DOWN buttons to change these parameter
values. As these parameter values change, the internal pressure value register shown in the
Calibration display (at “Torr x 10+4”) is modified.
Useful Quick Note: These values are not saved for use beyond the calibration session until
they are stored using F/STORE.
Functions F/LOAD and F/STORE
The F/LOAD and F/STORE functions read and write parameters from and to persistent memory
(long term storage). One of these two functions is available when the function indicator above
the EXIT hint shows F/LOAD or F/STORE. In this case, pressing and releasing the UP and
DOWN buttons together will execute the function. When the function has been successfully
executed the display will flash, and an audible beep will sound (with the tone configured in
“Sound Cal”).

18
Useful Quick Note: Completing a calibration session requires execution of F/STORE in order
to save the parameters to persistent memory before exiting. Exiting a calibration session
without successfully executing the F/STORE function will discard the calibration parameters.
Calibrating the instrument
Note: Calibration always happens in torr measurement units
1. Set Cal points VAC, MID and ATM to zero
a. A shortcut for setting a variable to zero is to set the unit to the desired variable,
such as F/VAC
b. Press the UP and DOWN buttons together. That variable will now be zeroed.
2. Set the manifold to exactly 2 Torr according to a known standard, then set the
“F/MID” such that the unit reads exactly 2 Torr, or “2000 0”
a. A shortcut for setting the MID is to change the function to “F/2T”
b. Then press the UP and DOWN buttons together. This will optimally set the MID
calibration point.
3. Set manifold vacuum to 760 Torr, and adjust "ATM" so the XactGauge™ XG-110
Gauge reading reflects Standard +/- 10 Torr
a. A shortcut for setting the ATM is to change the function to “F/700”, and set the
manifold to 700 Torr
b. Then press the UP and DOWN buttons together. This will optimally set the ATM
calibration point.
4. Set manifold vacuum to .005 Torr, and adjust "VAC" so the XactGauge™ XG-110
Gauge reading reflects standard +/- 0.001 Torr
a. A shortcut for setting the VAC is to change the function to “F/2mT”, and set the
manifold to 2 millitorr.
b. Then press the UP and DOWN buttons together. This will optimally set the VAC
calibration point.
5. Store
6. Check ATM is +/- 20 Torr
7. Check Vac is +/- 0.002 Torr
Useful Quick Note: For calibrating the unit for repeatable sub-millitorr readings, calibrate
2 millitorr at the ambient temperature where you will be using the vacuum gauge. Let the
vacuum system sit at 2 millitorr for 10 minutes, then calibrate. The settle time for an
accurate reading below 1 millitorr is approximately 2 minutes.

Section 9: SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
GAUGE TUBE SERVICING
In many cases, a gauge tube may become fouled with oil or other foreign matter. It is often
possible to restore the functionality of contaminated probes with cleaning. If the contaminant is
known, the tube should be filled with a fluid that is known to be a solvent to that contaminant. As
an example, ether is often effective in removing residues of some oils. Commercial carburetor
cleaners are very powerful solvents and are highly effective against some contaminants.
After cleaning with solvents, the gauge tube should be completely dried or flushed with a volatile
solvent to assure that it is dry prior to reinstalling it. If this is not done, contamination of the
system may result.
Maintenance
Your vacuum instrument should give you many years of trouble-free service. There are no
regularly scheduled maintenance intervals. If consistent accuracy is required, it is
recommended that the gauge, tube, cable and power supply be returned for a yearly calibration
check.
NOTES ON CALIBRATION
The instrument is calibrated in nitrogen, which has thermal properties virtually identical to air.
Other gasses will affect the readings by an amount proportional to the thermal conductivity of
the gases. In most cases, the gases present in a vacuum system will be air, nitrogen, or oxygen,
and no appreciable errors will occur.
Certain other gases, however, have thermal conductivity significantly greater than air and will
cause the instrument to read higher than the actual amount of pressure.
Examples of such gases are water vapor, fluorocarbon refrigerants, and acetone. Conversely,
other gasses have thermal conductivity significantly lower than air and will cause the instrument
to read lower than actual pressure. Examples of such gases include helium, oxygen and to a
lesser extent, CO2.
When interpreting readings using gasses other than air, it should be borne in mind that the
XactGauge™ XG-110 Gauge reads absolute pressure—that is the opposite of vacuum. Thus, a
lower numerical reading actually is a higher level of vacuum. For more information, refer to
section 8.0.

This instrument and many similar instruments are calibrated in microns or "millitorr." It is
appropriate to discuss what microns are and to relate microns to other measures of pressure
and vacuum. Microns are not really a measure of vacuum at all, but rather of absolute pressure.
The pressure of the atmosphere is 14.696 or approximately 14.7 pounds per square inch
at sea level. One Torr is an absolute pressure of one millimeter of mercury. A millitorr is
equal to one thousandth of a Torr. A Micron is the same as a millitorr.
This pressure is due to the weight of all of the air in the earth's atmosphere above any particular
square inch. This 14.696 PSI is equivalent to the pressure produced by a mercury column of
approximately 29.92 inches high or .76 meters (~ 3/4 of a yard) or 760 millimeters of mercury.
Atmospheric pressure varies greatly with altitude. It decreases approximately 1 inch of mercury
per thousand feet of altitude. It also varies widely with local weather conditions. (Variations of
one half inch in a single day are common.) The word “vacuum” means pressure lower than
atmosphere or "suction." However, in describing negative pressure, the atmosphere is only a
satisfactory reference if we are dealing with values of vacuum down to about 27 inches of
mercury. Below that, it is much more useful to talk in terms of absolute pressure, starting from
absolute zero. The XactGauge™ XG-110 Gauge and all similar instruments do just this.
