VGC031 Vacuum Gauge Controller

Single channel controller for PGE050

The Vacuum Gauge Controller VGC031 is a single channel gauge controller for the Pirani Gauge Enhanced PGE050. VGC031 acts as a convenient power supply, control and readout for PGE050, allowing straightforward vacuum pressure monitoring and controlling from atmosphere down to high vacuum (1.3×10-4  mbar). 

VGC031 supports a variety of technical features as 2 setpoint relays, 4 user selectable analog outputs and offers additionally RS232/ RS485 digital interfaces. The bright, sharp and clear OLED display with the integrated keypad user interface rounds out this user friendly vacuum gauge controller package. The housing of VGC031 allows straightforward panel mounting thus providing a great rack space saving capability. The combination VGC031-PGE050 is the best choice for many vacuum applications where economical vacuum measurement from atmosphere to high vacuum range is required.
