2 Product Description
The mobile gauge TPP 900 consists of combined Piezoresistive and Pirani sensors whose
measurement principles are based respectively on the change of resistance of a strain
gauge resulting from the diaphragm deflection and the thermal conductivity of gases.
The Piezoresistive sensor provides direct measurements which are independent on the
gas nature while the Pirani sensor uses an indirect measurement method, dependent on
the gas nature, see Adjust Gas Correction Factor [►15].
The gauge can also be operated under vacuum inside of a vacuum chamber.
Due to the integrated data recorder functionality it is possible to store up to 2000 meas-
urements in the vacuum gauge. By means of the USB interface you can transmit the
stored measurement data to a PC or record measurements online on PC as well.

2.4 Proper Use
The TPP 900 serves exclusively to measure total pressure in a range of:
– 1200…5 x 10-4 mbar.
2.5 Improper Use
The use for purposes not mentioned above is regarded as improper, especially:
– Connection to pumps or units which are not suitable for this purpose according
to their operating instructions.
– Connection to units which have exposed voltage-carrying parts.
– Operation of the devices in areas with ionizing radiation.
No liability or warranty will be accepted for claims arising from improper use.
3 Transport and Storage
• Check the device for transport damage.
NOTICE
Devices without external protection.
Risk of damage to the device!
• The device must not come into contact with electrostatically chargeable materials and
must not be moved within electrical or high magnetic fields.
If a storage is planned:
• Seal the vacuum flange with the protective cover.
• Comply with the storage temperatures, see technical data.
• In rooms with moist or aggressive atmospheres, the device must be airproof shrink-
wrapped in a plastic bag together with a bag a desiccant.
4 Installation
CAUTION
Unauthorized modifications.
Risk to injury!
• Modifications or conversions of the gauge are not allowed.
4.1 Installation Conditions
• Make sure that the environment of the device is not potentially explosive.
• Make sure that the ambient conditions comply with the Technical Data [►18].

4.2 Vacuum Connection
CAUTION
Unintended opening of clamp with an overpressure in the vacuum system over 1000
mbar.
Risk to injury!
Damage to your health!
• Parts may fly around.
• Unsecured hose connections can release process media.
CAUTION
Overpressure in the vacuum system over 1500 mbar
Damage to your health!
The elastomer washers cannot withstand the pressure and can release process media.
• Use sealing rings with an outer centering ring.
NOTICE
Dirt and damage at the vacuum flange.
Impair the function of the gauge!
• Make sure that the flange is clean, dry and free of grease.
• When handling the instrument, make sure that the flange is protected against dirt and
damage.
• Remove the protective cover (is required again during maintenance work!).
• Connect the flange to the system.
Connection size:
– ISO KF 16
• Make sure that the sensor flange is connected to the ground, when operated with ex-
ternal power supply.

4.3 Electrical Connection
4.3.1 Battery Operation
Before operating the gauge a suitable battery or rechargeable battery must be inserted.
• Pull the battery cover on the back of the unit downwards and insert the battery
• Close the cover again by pushing it upwards until it snaps into position.
Battery types:
– 9 Volt AlMn block battery type 6LR 61; lifetime max. 40 hours
– 9 Volt Lithium block battery; lifetime max. 100 hours.
NOTICE
Inferior or damage batteries may leak gas or liquid under vacuum.
Risk of damage to the gauge!
• If it is intended to expose the entire gauge to vacuum, seek confirmation from the
battery supplier that the battery is vacuum proof.
NOTE
Poor battery power is indicated by the ‘’BAT’’-prompt in the upper left corner of the dis-
play. Operation of the gauge is still possible. Once the battery is completely discharged,
the gauge switches off.
Rechargeable batteries have to be removed for charging. Please use suitable, commer-
cially available chargers.
4.3.2 Operation with External Power Supply
The gauge can be operated alternatively with an external 12V power supply. The socket
for the power supply is located behind the dust protection lid.
• Open the lid carefully and pull it out slightly.

NOTE
The battery can be left in the gauge when the external power supply is used. A re-
chargeable battery will not be loaded but can remain in the gauge.
4.4 USB Interface
The USB port can be connected to a PC via VacTest explorer to read out stored measure-
ment data, transmit measurement values or configure the gauge.

5 Operation
NOTICE
Aggressive media such as fluorides, halogenides, carbon, oxygen plasma and all other
corrosive media.
Reduce sensor life-time!
• Furthermore, dust, oil or condensing vapours will affect sensor performance and may
cause malfunction.
5.1 Before Operation
Dependence On Gas Type
The measured pressure will depend on composition and type of gas. The gauge is factory
calibrated for N2 and dry air.
To adjust to other gases, a suitable correction factor for the Pirani sensor can be set in
the gauge for the pressure range below 15 mbar, see Adjust Gas Correction Factor
[►15].
5.2 Select Operating Mode
Short-Term Operation "Auto-Off" mode
• Press “Mode” key
MODE
mbar
The current pressure is displayed.
The gauge will automatically shut down after 20 seconds.
Continuous Operation "Cont" mode
Notes: Available only when data recorder function is disabled.
MODE
mbar
The current pressure is displayed.
MODE
mbar
If the “Cont" mode is activated, the gauge
is in continuous operation until it is
switched off manually or, after the maxi-
mum operation time is reached.

5.3 Data Recording
To operate the gauge as a pressure display with data recorder functionality, activate the
recording function as described below.
Activate the data recording and configure the storage interval
In order to configure the storage interval, the gauge’s configuration mode must be acti-
vated.
Starting condition: the gauge is switched off.
• Hold “Mode” key pressed for approx. 5 seconds, until the display shows ‘’rAtE’’.
MODE
5sec
After additional 5s the current rate setting for internal data recording is displayed and
can now be adjusted by means of the “Mode” key.
5sec
"off" : data recording is disabled.
MODE
"HiLo" means that only minimum and
maximum pressures are stored.
MODE
s
Save measurements every 1 s.
Other storage intervals: 2 s, 10 s, 1 min, 10
min
MODE
"trig" means that new measurement values
will only be recorded if the current value
differs from the last stored value by at least
2 digits (e.g. 2.3 … 2.5). This reduces the
data volume and optimally uses the storage
capacity of the gauge.
When data recording is active, minimum and maximum pressure are recorded simulta-
neously.
Without further keystroke the gauge is switched into "Auto-Off" mode after 5 seconds.
The last settings are saved.
NOTE
Via USB interface the user can set recording rates between 1.0 s and 6000 s. The record-
ing rate will stay available in the menu after "trig".
