Vacuum Gauge Controller

VGC50x

Sustainable solution for process measurement, control and data log.

Compatible to the wide range of INFICON active gauges, the new VGC50x series of active gauge controllers are able to monitor and data log the entire pressure range from 10⁻¹⁰ to 1500 mbar (10⁻¹⁰ to 1125 Torr) and the set point status.

Advantages

Simple operation with dot matrix menu guided display for parameter, sensor or general settings
Very bright and clear Display for long distance Instrument read- out
Bar graph display with setpoints's or pressure vs. time display
Data log and parameter log function with USB port (rear side) and USB stick (front side)
Ethernet interface
Firmware upgrade available online or with USB stick
Two free definable setpoints per channel with adjustable hysteresis
High Resolution - 16 bit A/D converter
Automatic identification of the INFICON active gauges
Programmable 0 to 10 V Chart Recorder Output with logarithmic/ linear characteristics for single gauge or gauge combination (only VGC502 and VGC503)
