There are several possible causes of this “UR” indication: - the pressure really is low - the cold cathode gauge is not primed - the gauge is faulty. ON setting Choose ON if you consider it abnormal for the gauge to have gone UR. Previously activated set points will then be desactivated (detection of UR status).

Its value is independent of the type of gauge connected to the channel. The signal can be used by applying the following formula: output (V) = 1/2 (Log Pdisp + 12) or Pdisp = 10(2 x output voltage(V) – 12) (Pdisp : value of displayed pressure) See Appendix 4 for wiring of the Remote connector. A voltage of 10V, 9.5V, or 0.5V is considered an error. If the internal fan stops, the output recording displays 0.5V. See list of error messages in Appendix 6.

Frequently asked questions
The ACM 2000 is compatible with the following gauges: PIRANI gauge: AP 2004 - APN 2004, Combined PIRANI/Cold cathode gauge: ACC 2009, Combined CRYSTAL/Hot cathode gauge: AHC 2010, Capacitive gauges: ASD 200X, ARD 200X series.
You can change the display mode between digital, graph, and analog by using the "DISP" button on the controller's front panel.
To set up a set point, you need to access the "SET" menu on the controller. Follow the instructions in the manual to navigate the settings and configure the desired set point parameters for each gauge.
The ACM 2000 has a built-in RS232 interface. You can connect the controller to a computer using a standard RS232 cable. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions on configuring the RS232 connection.
The ACM 2000 is designed for safe use. The manual outlines important safety recommendations and instructions for using the device. These instructions include guidelines for connecting the controller to electrical power, handling the enclosure, and ensuring adequate ventilation.
