Intended Use
The Ceramic Capacitance Gauges of the CMR 36X series are
intended for absolute pressure measurement of gases in their
respective pressure ranges (→ 3).
Function
The Ceramic Capacitance Gauge consists of a capacitive sensor
element made of aluminum oxide ceramics and electronics
which convert the capacitance into a DC voltage output signal.
The output signal is linear to the measured pressure and independent of the gas type.

DANGER
DANGER: overpressure in the vacuum system
>100 kPa
Injury caused by released parts and harm caused
by escaping process gases can result if clamps are
opened while the vacuum system is pressurized.
Do not open any clamps while the vacuum system
is pressurized. Use the type clamps which are
suited to overpressure.
DANGER
DANGER: overpressure in the vacuum system
>250 kPa
KF flange connections with elastomer seals (e.g.
O-rings) cannot withstand such pressures. Process
media can thus leak and possibly damage your
health.
Use O-rings provided with an outer centering ring.
BG 5136 BEN / B (2013-11)13
DANGER: protective ground
Products that are not correctly connected to ground
can be extremely hazardous in the event of a fault.
Electrically connect the gauge to the grounded
vacuum chamber. This connection must conform to
the requirements of a protective connection according to EN 61010:
• CF and VCR flanges fulfill this requirement.
• For gauges with a KF flange, use a conductive
metallic clamping ring.
• For gauges with a ½" tube, take appropriate
measures to fulfill this requirement.
Caution: vacuum component
Dirt and damages impair the function of the vac-
uum component.
When handling vacuum components, take appro-
priate measures to ensure cleanliness and prevent
damages.

Caution
Caution: dirt sensitive area
Touching the product or parts thereof with bare
hands increases the desorption rate.
Always wear clean, lint-free gloves and use clean
tools when working in this area.
Mount the gauge so that no vibrations occur. The gauge
may be mounted in any orientation. To keep condensates and particles from getting into the measuring
chamber preferably choose a horizontal to upright position and possibly use a seal with a centering ring and
filter. If adjustment should be possible after the gauge
has been installed, be sure to install it so that the buttons can be accessed with a pin (→ 18).
Remove the protective lid and connect the product to the vacuum system.

3.2 Power Connection
Make sure the vacuum connection is properly made
(→ 13).
DANGER
The gauge may only be connected to power supplies, instruments or control devices that conform
to the requirements of a grounded protective extralow voltage (SELV). The connection to the gauge
has to be fused.
Ground loops, differences of potential, or EMC problems
may affect the measurement signal. For optimum signal
quality, please do observe the following notes:
• Connect the cable shield to ground on one side via
the chassis ground. Do not connect the other side of
the shield.
• Connect the supply common with protective ground
directly at the power supply.
• Use differential measurement input (signal common
and supply common conducted separately).
• Potential difference between supply common and
housing ≤18 V (overvoltage protection).

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.
18
BG 5136 BEN / B (2013-11)
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.
4.2.1 <ZERO> Adju stme n t
Evacuate the gauge to a pressure according to the table
below:
F.S.
1100 hPa
110 hPa
11 hPa
1.1 hPa
0.11 hPa
If the final pressure in the gauge is too high for zero adjustment (>25% of the F.S.), the zero cannot be reached
and the <RUN> LED flashes. If this is the case, activate the
factory setting and adjust the zero again (→ 22).

Operate the gauge for at least 15 minutes (until the signal
is stable).
BG 5136 BEN / B (2013-11)19
Press the <ZERO> button briefly with a pin (max.
ø1.1 mm). The zero adjustment runs automatically. The
<RUN> LED flashes until the adjustment (duration ≤8 s) is
completed.
Press the button briefly
max. ø1.1 mm
After zero adjustment the gauge automatically returns to
measurement mode. The <RUN> LED lit.
The <RUN> LED flashes if
• the signal output is negative (>22 mV) when the final pressure
has been attained
• the zero adjustment has failed.
4.2.2 <ZERO> Adjustment with Ramp Function
The ramp function allows to adjust the zero at a known reference
pressure within the measurement range of the gauge.
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.
20
BG 5136 BEN / B (2013-11)
The offset should not exceed 2% of the F.S. (+160 mV). At a
higher positive offset, the upper limit of the measurement range
is exceeded.
Recommended procedure for adjusting the offset of a
measuring system: → Notice 19.
Operate the gauge for at least 15 minutes (until the signal
is stable).
Push the <ZERO> button with a pin (max. ø1.1 mm) and
keep it depressed. The <RUN> LED starts flashing. 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.

4.3 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).
