IGE 300 Page 4 of 21 DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE High voltages capable of causing injury or death are present within t he IGE 3000 Avoid touching the connector sockets, tube pins and all internal circui try within the IGE 3000. SERVICE MUST ONLY BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED TELEDYNE INST RUMENTS PERSONNEL.
IGE 300 Page 5 of 21 1. Quick S t art Information • Apply Power • Apply 24 VDC Power to the “D ” connector Pin 3 and 4. • After power is applied the IGE 3000 will go through self test, CPU initialization, and LED test. (The individual LEDs will sequentially illuminate then the IGE 3000 enters the “No Mode” and is operational).

DGas Mode: CAUTION: BEFORE INITIATING DEGAS, VACUUM MUST B E AT OR BELOW 1x10-7 EXCESSIVE DEGASSING AT ANY TI ME CAN DISTORT THE GAUGE ELECTRO DES AND CAN RESULT IN A MISLEADING TRANSIENT DECREASE IN PRESSURE INDICATION Degas mode is used to “Degas” or clean the inside areas of the BA tube of impurities.
IGE 300 Page 13 of 21 The IGE-3000’s filament m ay be controlled remote ly via the D power suppl y connector by wiring relay contacts or a transistor switch across pins 8 and 9, (refer to section 2.5 /F igure 1 and F igure 3 below). Pin 8 is digital ground and pin 9 is the fila ment control line.
IGE 300 Page 14 of 21 5. Theory of Operation The functional parts of a typical ionization gauge tu be are the filament (cathode), the grid (anode), and the ion collector (refer to Figure 4 below).
IGE 300 Page 15 of 21 6. Set Up Guide 6.1. ADVANCE SETUP GUIDE The IGE-3000 has several setup and control comm ands which can be accessed by using the ADJUST rotary encoder and SELECT push-button while viewin g the display. Note that most of the commands, which are described below, can be accessed using equivalent RS232/485 Commands.
IGE 300 Page 16 of 21 6.4. Data Bits/Parity Bits/Stop Bits P8n1 The first character, “8” corresponds to the number of data bits. (e.g. 7 or 8). Second character, “n” corresponds to the parity bit. (i.e . n- no parity, E- even parity, o- odd parit y, 0- space, 1- mark) The last character, “1” corresponds to the number of stop bits.
IGE 300 Page 17 of 21 7. RS 232/RS 485 7.1. RS232/RS485 The IGE-3000 is designed to communicate with external dev ices by either RS232 or RS485 via the two RJ-11 connectors. Re fer to section 3.2 Figure 2 for connector locations. RS232 via the left connector on and the RS485 is via either connector.
