Intended Use
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.

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 2).
