Intended use
The Ceramic Capacitance Gauges from the CMR 36X series are
vacuum gauges and enable the measuring of absolute pressure
of gases in diverse measuring ranges (→ 3).
Function
The CMR gauge comprises a ceramic capacitive sensor element
and an electronic circuit that converts the capacity into a direct
voltage output signal.
The output signal is linear with the measured pressure and is
independent of the gas type being measured.

leaving the factory (→ "Calibration Test Report").
We recommend setting the zero point for initial
operation.

shift, and may also necessitate a periodic zero adjustment.
