All dimensions in mm.
The Capacitance Diaphragm Gauges of the CDG020D series
are intended for absolute pressure measurement of gases in
their respective pressure ranges (→ 3).
The gauges can be operated in connection with an INFICON
Vacuum Gauge Controller (VGC series) or another appropriate
measuring unit.
Function
The Capacitance Diaphragm Gauge consists of a capacitive
sensor element made of aluminum oxide ceramics and electro-
nics which convert the capacitance into a DC voltage output sig-
nal.
The output signal is linear to the measured pressure and inde-
pendent of the gas type.

WARNING: fragile components
The ceramic sensor may be damaged by impacts.
Do not drop the product and prevent shocks and
impacts.
3.1
Vacuum Connection
DANGER
DANGER: overpressure in the vacuum system
>1 bar
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
>2.5 bar
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.
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 ac-
cording to EN 61010:
• VCR flanges fulfill this requirement.
• For gauges with a KF flange, use a conductive
metallic clamping ring.
Caution
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 conden-
sates and particles from getting into the measuring
chamber preferably choose a horizontal to upright posi-
tion 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 button
can be accessed with a pin (→ 20).
Remove the protective lid and connect the product to the vac-
uum system.

Make sure the vacuum connection is properly made

DANGER
The gauge may only be connected to power sup-
plies, instruments or control devices that conform
to the requirements of a grounded protective extra-
low voltage (SELV) and limited power source
(LPS), Class 2. The connection to the gauge has to
be fused 4).
Ground loops, differences of potential, or EMC problems
may affect the measurement signal. For optimum signal
quality, please do observe the following notes:
• Use an overall metal braided shielded cable. The
connector must have a metal case.
• Connect the cable shield to ground at one side via the
connector case. Make sure the connector case has
direct contact to the cable's shield on its whole cir-
cumference. 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 ≤16 V (overvoltage protection).
4) INFICON controllers fulfill this requirement.

Put the gauge into operation. If you are using an INFICON con-
troller, define the measurement range (→ [2], [3], [4]).
Warm-up time: approx. 1 minute.
4.1
Zeroing the Gauge
The gauge is factory calibrated while "standing upright". It re-
quires no maintenance.
Due to mounting orientation, long time operation or contamina-
tion, a zero drift could occur and zero adjustment may become
necessary.
For adjusting the zero, operate the gauge under the same con-
stant ambient conditions and in the same mounting orientation
as normally.
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.
4.1.1
Zero Adjustment
The zero can be adjusted via
• the button on the gauge, or
• the digital input "Remote Zero Adjust " (briefly apply the
supply voltage to pin 7 (D-Sub connector) or to pin 4 (FCC68
and Binder M12 connector)), or
• an INFICON Vacuum Gauge Controller (VGC series).
Evacuate the gauge to a pressure according to the table
below:
F.S.

If the final pressure in the gauge is too high for zero ad-
justment (>25% of the F.S.), the zero cannot be reached.
Briefly press the button with a pin (max. ø1.1 mm). The
zero adjustment runs automatically (duration ≤8 s).
Press the button briefly
max. ø1.1 mm
After zero adjustment the gauge automatically returns to
measurement mode.
