Contact with harsh solvents and chemicals to any plastic parts of the HPM 4/6 Vacuum
Gauge can damage the unit and may void the warranty.

Instrument repair should only be performed by Teledyne Hastings service technicians.

Disconnecting gauge tube by pulling on the cable may result in damage to the octal
socket and/or cable.

Electromagnetic interferences (EMI) in the frequency range 80MHtz to 1000MHz at
intensity levels of 3V/m may cause the HPM-4/6 unit to display up to a 21% deviation from
the correct reading.

Removing the source of the EMI or increasing the distance between the source and the
HPM-4/6 will return the unit to its normal operating condition.

Hastings Instruments reserves the right to change or modify the design of its equipment

without any obligation to provide notification of change or intent to change.
