No dot: The set points (SP1, SP2) are at the «OFF» position. Adjustment by gauge type The 2 set points are used to control external devices using the “remote” connector. The outputs on the remote connector depend on the setpoint levels programmed and the pressure signal. Each set point has 2 thresholds: - 1 low threshold: SP-xL - 1 high threshold: SP-xH The setpoint opens as the pressure signal goes below the low threshold and remains open until the pressure signal crosses the high threshold. To avoid malfunctioning of the open/close contact, the high threshold value must be set at least 10% higher than the low point value.

This can help with unstable processes or fluctuating measurement signals. Normal filter Choose the “standard” setting to obtain a good compromise between a fast signal response and a noisy signal, on both the display and the set point functions. p Slow filter Choose “slow” to remove noise from the displayed signal, and to eliminate premature tripping of set points caused by signal noise. The controller will then respond more slowly to variations in the measurement. p Fast filter Choose “fast” if the read out and set points must respond quickly to measurement fluctuations.

Moreover, it is not isolated from the internal circuit. When the power supply source for the controller is used for the “Remote” or “Set-Point” control, isolation of the photocoupler and relays is no longer guaranteed. To guarantee complete isolation, therefore, use an external power supply. Before connecting or disconnecting the «Remote» cable, always turn the controller power supply off first to avoid causing damage to the equipment.

Frequently asked questions
The ACS 2000 can be used with the following gauges: PIRANI gauge (AP 2004 - APN 2004), Combined PIRANI/Cold cathode gauge (ACC 2009), Combined CRYSTAL/Hot cathode gauge (AHC 2010), and Capacitive gauges (ASD 200X series, ARD 200X series).
The ACS 2000 is specifically designed to work with the gauges listed in the manual. Using incompatible gauges may not work properly or could damage the device.
You can adjust the pressure set points (SP1 and SP2) through the controller's settings menu. Each set point has two thresholds: SP-xH (high) and SP-xL (low). The set point opens when the pressure goes below the low threshold and stays open until the pressure crosses the high threshold.
The gas correction factor is used to adjust the pressure reading for gases other than nitrogen (N2). It affects both the pressure readout and the switching thresholds of the set points.
The ACS 2000 has a built-in RS232 interface. Use a standard RS232 cable to connect it to your computer. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions on RS232 communication and available commands.
