IVP Dual Capacitance Manometer Gauge Controller with USB for MKS Baratron Gauges, LCD Readout and Two Setpoints

The Ideal Vacuum Products (IVP) XGC-520 Dual Capacitance Manometer Gauge Controller is an inexpensive solution for pressure readout of up to two Capacitance Diaphragm Gauges. This IVP exclusive controller provides enhanced accuracy with intelligently designed features for simple user control and easy system integration.

The controller is designed to interface with the popular 626D, 627H, and 722C series of Baratron® capacitance diaphragm gauges from MKS and can read full scale absolute vacuum/pressure ranges from 20 mTorr (2 x 10^-4 Torr) to as much as 10,000 Torr (1x10⁴ Torr). Because these gauges measure absolute pressure, they are gas type and composition independent. Lookup tables and conversion factors are not required.

The unit has two analog output relays, each of which can be assigned to either of the two gauge channels and programmed to energize when a setpoint is reached. This flexibility allows the user to easily set up automated tasks, such as valve activation or energizing a turbomolecular pump when an appropriate backing pump pressure is achieved.

The Dual Capacitance Manometer Gauge Controller is conveniently housed in a compact 1/8-DIN extruded aluminum enclosure for benchtop or rack panel mounting. The brilliant, blue LCD display is easy to read and displays vital system and controller information at a glance. The intuitive front panel membrane switch interface allows the user to access and adjust all parameters quickly.

Remote communication and control is achieved by RS-232 serial terminal software. Connection is made via the rear-mounted DB15 or USB-B connectors. A variety of sensor and serial cables are available.

The controller has a built-in universal power supply which accepts an input of 100-240 VAC, 50/60Hz. Included is a 2 meter long (6 ft.) 115 VAC input power cord with US plug 5-15P to C13 Connector.
