Optimized for high-efficiency delivery up to 2 Liters/minute equivalent workload environments.
Cold cathode gauges accumulate a conductive coating over time. The manual advises:
. Subjecting the ASTRON 2L to pressures above atmospheric can lead to permanent damage or dangerous gas leaks Chemical Hazard: Since the device frequently uses cap N cap F sub 3 , which is colorless and has a very faint odor, the safety manual mks astron 2l manual
Power off. Short pins 5-6 on the 9-pin gauge connector. Power on for 10 seconds. Remove short. Release notes indicate this resets all setpoints to 10⁻⁴ Torr.
This section replicates the core of the user manual. Optimized for high-efficiency delivery up to 2 Liters/minute
: Requires water cooling with a minimum flow of 2.0 gpm during operation and 0.5 gpm during idle.
The manual also explains the operating principles of the Astron 2L, including its ability to measure and control gas flows in both forward and reverse directions. The device features a built-in PID controller, which enables precise control of the gas flow rate. Additionally, the Astron 2L has a user-friendly interface, allowing users to easily configure and monitor the device. Subjecting the ASTRON 2L to pressures above atmospheric
during operation and 0.5 gpm during idle; water temperature must be below 30°C. Operating Pressure : Designed for an operating regime between 1–10 torr (post-ignition). Gas Compatibility : Typically uses Argon (grade 4.4 or better). : Optimized for 100% cap N cap F sub 3 dissociation but can support other gas alternatives. Operational Features High Efficiency
