| Digital AVC-4 & Digital AVC-6, Vacuum Gauge Meter |
The Digital AVC |
| Small & Light weight, Rugged, Installs anywhere |
| Description |
The Teledyne Hastings Instruments (THI) Digital AVC (DAVC) is a microprocessor controlled vacuum gauge meter without readout. In addition to the analog output (0 - 1 VDC), pressure measurement can be accessed by an RS232 serial port using Torr, mbar or Pa.
A precision A/D converter along with the microprocessor measures the thermocouple vacuum gauge tube's signal output, converts the measurement to a pressure reading employing the gauge tube's well-defined output/pressure function, and transmits the result.
These instruments are packed in a small extruded aluminum case with controls, and D-connector mounted on the top cover.
The Digital AVC Vacuum Gauge Meter is available for two of THI's most popular gauge tube families: the DV-4 and the DV-6. The DV-4 range is 0.02 - 20 Torr. The DV-6 range is 1 - 999 mTorr.
These tubes utilize THI's rugged but sensitive noble metal thermocouples that are designed specifically for each range. Tubes are matched and are interchangeable without calibration adjustments. They are compensated for temperature, rate of temperature change, and are corrosion resistant.
