1.0 Introduction
Setra’s Vactron Model 760 capacitance manometer is a temperature com-
pensated, absolute pressure transducer designed for accurate and repeatable vacuum measurements. Various full scale ranges are available from
10 Torr up to 1000 Torr. The units of measurement may be specied in Torr
(mmHg), mBar (hPa), kPa or psia.
The Model 760 operates from a ±15 VDC power supply and provides a 0-10
VDC or 0-5 VDC signal output that is linear with pressure and independent
of gas composition. Electrical connections can be either the industry standard 15 pin D-sub or 6 position terminal strip connector. The Model 760 is
pin for pin compatible with other competitive capacitance manometers.
Superior EMI/RFI performance is achieved by the use of a metal case in
conjunction with surge and ESD suppression components and RFI ltering
on the inputs and outputs. The Model 760 has an integrated sliding cover
providing easy access to multi-turn potentiometers for ne zero and span
adjustments. Inconel is used for all wetted materials for compatibility with
corrosive gases. A wide range of pressure/vacuum ttings are available.
The high accuracy pressure sensing element used in the Model 760 is the
Vactron™ sensor, which has been developed from Setra’s patented variable
capacitance sensor. A centrally located feedthrough assembly supports a
circular electrode in close proximity to the back surface of the diaphragm.
Together, the electrode and diaphragm form a variable capacitor within a
small reference vacuum chamber. As the pressure increases, the diaphragm
deects and the gap between the electrode and diaphragm reduces, causing an increase in the capacitance. This change in capacitance is detected
and converted to a highly accurate linear DC electronic signal by Setra’s
unique custom integrated circuit utilizing a patented charge balance principle.
Excellent zero stability and barometric insensitivity is achieved through
the patented sensor design. The Model 760 sensor contains no fragile or
complex parts as found in ceramic based capacitance manometers. The all
welded construction eliminates stability issues inherent in other designs
due to frictional contact between dissimilar materials.

2.0 Mechanical Installation
7.0 Specications
Remove all packaging material and the protective ange cover and visu-
ally check the Model 760. If the Model 760 appears damaged, notify Setra
Systems or your supplier immediately. Retain packaging materials for
inspection. Do not use if damaged. If the Model 760 is not going to be used
immediately, then replace the protective ange cover and store in an area
where the temperature range is controlled between -50 to +125°C.
The Model 760 can be mounted in any orientation on the vacuum system.
To avoid the buildup of debris or condensable material in the measurement cavity of the Model 760 (which may cause measurement errors), we
recommend that you install the Model 760 vertically with the tube facing
down. Outline drawings showing the external dimensions are shown in
Figures 1 - 4.

Notes:
1. Root sum of the squares (RSS) of linearity, hysteresis and non-repeatability. Accuracy is
expressed as % of reading. However, near Zero, the accuracy is limited by the resolution of the
instrument. So, the accuracy is more correctly stated as the greater of ±0.25% reading or ±0.01%
FS. (For the optional accuracy, this becomes the greater of ±0.15% reading or ±0.01% FS).
2. Wetted material is for 0.5” tube option only. Other ange options will add stainless steel.

6.0 Maintenance & Troubleshooting
(SPAN & ZERO)
Figure 1: Outline drawing of 15 pin D connector, 0.5” OD tube.
There are no general maintenance requirements for the Model 760 other than
periodic zero adjustment. If the unit fails to operate when received or if the
unit appears damaged, notify Setra Systems or your supplier immediately. Retain packaging materials for inspection. Do not use if damaged. If the Model
760 is not going to be used immediately then replace the protective ange
cover and store in suitable conditions described in Section 2.
If no obvious damage has occurred a few simple checks can be made to verify
proper installation. Table 2 shows the solution to common problems with the
installation. If none of these problems / solutions are applicable, then please
contact a Setra Systems applications engineer for further assistance.

5.0 Calibration & Adjustment
5. 1 Checking & Adjustment of Zero Output
After installation on a system, the Model 760 may require initial zero adjustment. Figure 9 shows the location of the zero adjustment potentiometer. Slide
open the black plastic insert to reveal two access holes. The access hole next
to the raised “Z” on the plastic cover identies the Zero potentiometer.
Use an accurate digital voltmeter to view the signal output of the Model 760.
Adjust the signal output of the model 760 to be 0.001 to –0.001 mV. Make this
adjustment at a pressure at least 1/2 decade below the Model 760’s resolution;
e.g., for a 10 Torr FS unit the zero pressure should be less than 5E-4 Torr . For a
1000 Torr unit, a pressure less than 0.050 Torr is sucient.
The Zero potentiometer is a multi–turn potentiometer providing very ne
adjustment of the zero over a +/- 500 mV range.

5. 2 Span (Full Scale) Adjustment and Calibration
The Zero adjustment is the only adjustment that should be made in the eld.
Span (Full Scale) adjustments require a calibrated and certied reference standard and should only be attempted by qualied personnel. Return the Model
760 to Setra Systems for periodic calibration, Span (Full Scale)
Adjustment and Calibration adjustments and servicing.

4.0 OPERATION
For most accurate pressure measurement, allow the Model 760 to warm
up for at least 15 minutes. After installation, periodically check the zero
output reading to verify correct output. Adjust the zero potentiometer if
incorrect (See Section 5 for zero adjustment instructions).
The signal output of the Model 760 is linear with pressure; e.g., for a 10
Table 1 indicates the lowest pressures available for reading and pressure
control for each range of the Model 760. The lowest suggested pressure
available for reading is limited by the resolution and the accuracy of the
Model 760. This is directly related to the electrical noise on the signal
output and can be signicantly eected by incorrect electrical ground
connection, or connection to an electronically noisy power supply or
readout instrument. Improved results may be obtained if the transducer is
operated in an environment with stable temperature and air ow. The lowest recommended pressure used for control applications, such as a closed
loop downstream pressure control system, is based on a signal output of
50 mV.
Table 1: Recommended Lowest Pressures
Available for Reading & Pressure Control
3.0 Electrical Installation
The model 760 operates from a ±15 VDC regulated (±5%) power supply.
The model 760 has either a 0-5 VDC output or 0-10 VDC output.
The pin out for the D-sub, 15 pin connector is shown in Figure 5, page 6.
A schematic diagram of the recommended electrical connections to the
D-sub, 15 pin connector is shown in Figure 6, page 6.
The pin out for the 6-Position Screw Terminal Connector is shown in Figure
7, page 7. A schematic diagram of the recommended electrical connection
to the 6-position Screw Terminal Connection is shown in Figure 8, page 7.
Note 1: The ground of any external power supply and readout system
should be the same as the transducer ground (chassis ground) to minimize
any possible ground loops which may eect the performance and stability
of the transducer.
Note 2: The Model 760 meets CE mark requirements and complies with
EMC Directive 89/336/EEC. To ensure compliance when installed, an overall
metal braided shielded cable (and metal shielded connectors for the D sub
connector option) connected to chassis ground at both ends is required.
