Intended Use
The temperature compensated Capacitance Diaphragm Gauges
of the CDG045 series are intended for absolute pressure
measurement of gases in their respective pressure ranges
(→ 3).
The gauges belong to the SKY
®
Smart Sensors family and can
be operated in connection with an INFICON Vacuum Gauge
Controller (VGC series) or another appropriate controller.
Functional Principle
A ceramic diaphragm is deflected by pressure. The deflection is
measured capacitively and converted into an analog linear output signal by the digital electronics.
The output signal is independent of the gas type.
Very accurate pressure measurement is achieved by heating the
sensor to a constant temperature of 45°C which results in a compensation of changes in the ambient conditions and a reduced
deposition of process products and by-products in process applications.

4 Operation
Put the gauge into operation. If you are using an INFICON controller, define the measurement range (→ [1, 2, 3]).
A warm-up time of at least ½ hour should be allowed; for precise
pressure measurements a warm-up time of at least 2 hours is
required.
If the gauge is used for fast downstream pressure con-
trol we recommend setting its signal filter to "fast".
The filter can be set via the RS232C interface or the
diagnostic port (→ [4]).

4.2 Zeroing the Gauge
The gauge is factory calibrated while "standing upright"
(→ "Calibration Test Report").
We recommend performing a zero adjustment, when the
gauge is operated for the first time.
Due to long time operation or contamination, a zero drift could
occur and zero adjustment may become necessary.
For adjusting the zero, operate the gauge under the same constant ambient conditions and in the same mounting orientation
as normally.
The output signal (measuring signal) is depending on the mounting orientation. The signal difference between the vertical and
horizontal mounting orientation is:
If the gauge is operated via a controller, the zero of the
whole measuring system has to be adjusted on the
controller: first, adjust the zero of the gauge and then,
the zero of the controller.

1000 Torr/mbar ≈2 mV
100 Torr/mbar ≈10 mV
10 Torr/mbar ≈50 mV
1 Torr/mbar ≈300 mV
0.1 Torr/mbar ≈1.8 V
22
tina51e1-c (2011-12)
4.2.1 <ZERO> Adjustm ent
The zero can be adjusted via
• the <ZERO> button on the gauge,
• the diagnostic port (→ [4]),
• the digital input "Remote Zero" (briefly apply the
supply voltage to pin 10 (15-pin) or to pin 7 (9-pin)),
• the RS232C interface (→ [4]),
• an INFICON Vacuum Gauge Controller (VGC series).
While the gauge is being heated and/or under atmos-
pheric pressure, the zeroing function is locked in order
for operating errors to be prevented.
Evacuate the gauge to a pressure according to the table
If the final pressure is too high for zero adjustment (>25%
of the F.S.), the zero cannot be reached and the
<STATUS> LED blinks green. If this is the case, activate
the factory setting and adjust the zero again (→ 30).
Operate the gauge for at least ¼ hour (until the signal is
stable).
Briefly press the <ZERO> button with a pin (max.
ø1.1 mm). The zero adjustment runs automatically. The
<STATUS> LED blinks until the adjustment (duration ≤8 s)
is completed.
Press the button briefly
max. ø1.1 mm
After zero adjustment, the gauge automatically returns
to the measurement mode.
The <STATUS> LED blinks green if
• the signal output is negative (< -20 mV) when the final pressure has been attained
• the zero adjustment has failed.
4.2.2 <ZERO> Adjustment with Ramp Functi on
The ramp function allows to adjust the zero at a known reference
pressure within the measurement range of the gauge.
24
tina51e1-c (2011-12)
It also permits to adjust an offset of the characteristic curve in
order to
• compensate for the offset of the measuring system or
• obtain a slightly positive zero for a 0 … 10 V AD converter.
The offset should not exceed 2% of the F.S. (+200 mV). At a
higher positive offset, the upper limit of the measurement range
is exceeded.
Zero adjustment using the ramp function can be
performed via
• the <ZERO> button on the gauge,
• the diagnostic port (→ [4]),
• the RS232C interface (→ [4]).
Recommended procedure for adjusting the offset of a
measuring system: → Notice 22.
Operate the gauge for at least 1 hour (until the signal is
stable).
Push the <ZERO> button with a pin (max. ø1.1 mm) and
keep it depressed. The <STATUS> LED starts blinking.
After 5 s, the zero adjustment value, starting at the current
output value, keeps continually changing (ramp) until the
button is released or until the setting limit (max. 25% F.S.)
is reached. The corresponding output signal is delayed by
about 1 s.

tina51e1-c (2011-12)
4.3 Switching Functions
The two switching functions can be set to any pressure within
the measurement range of the gauge (→ 14).
The current setpoint setting
• can be read/written via the diagnostic port,
• is output at the D-Sub connector instead of the measurement
signal (→ 20) and can be measured with a voltmeter after
the <SP> button is pressed, or
• can be read/written via the RS232C interface.
If the pressure is lower than the setpoint, the corresponding LED
(<SP1> or <SP2>) is lit solid and the corresponding relay
(→ 20) is energized.

4.3.1 Adjusting the Setpoints
The setpoints can be adjusted via
• the buttons on the gauge,
• the diagnostic port (→ [4]),
• the RS232C interface (→ [4]).
DANGER
DANGER: malfunction
If processes are controlled via the signal output,
keep in mind that by pushing the <SP> button the
measurement signal is suppressed and the corresponding threshold value is output instead. This
can cause malfunctions.
Push the <SP> button only if you are sure that no
damages can arise from a malfunction.
Adjusting Setpoint <1>
Push the <SP> button with a pin (max. ø1.1 mm). The
gauge changes to the switching function mode and outputs
the current threshold value at the measurement value
output for about 10 s (LED <1> blinks).
28
tina51e1-c (2011-12)
Press the button
max. ø1.1 mm
For changing the threshold value, push the <ZERO> button
and keep it depressed. The threshold keeps changing from

4.4 Activating the Factory Setting (Factory Reset)
All user defined parameters (e.g. zero, filter) are restored to their
default values.
Loading of the default parameters is irreversible.
Loading the default parameters:
Put the gauge out of operation.
Keep the <ZERO> button depressed for at least 5 s while
the gauge is being put into operation (Power ON).
