The Vacuum Gauge Controller VGC083 A/B/C is a three channel gauge controller for vacuum pressure monitoring and controlling from atmosphere down to ultra-high vacuum. The industrial design of VGC083 in combination with a large selection of available passive gauge heads provides a flexible yet reliable and economical choice for vacuum applications requiring a wide vacuum measurement range. Due to the extended compatibility, VGC083 is the ideal solution for existing systems requiring direct drop-in replacements.
VGC083 can be configured to control and read-out up to 3 passive gauge heads among two types of passive sensors design types: one ionization gauge (hot cathode or cold cathode), plus two Pirani gauges.
Six single pole setpoint relays are assignable to any of the gauge heads. Built-in RS232 and RS485 control interfaces are provided for system integration.
