Selecting Your Vacuum GaugeEdwards offers a wide choice of vacuum measurement and control products - from dial gauges to microprocessor based gauge controllers. Within each product range, there is a family of models designed to meet the widest user specification. The first step in selecting the right gauge to meet your application is to decide the range of pressures that you want to measure at each of your measuring points. The chart below indicates the broad pressure ranges covered by the spectrum of Edwards instruments: use this chart as a primary guide to the choice of gauge head. The second step is to establish your requirement for the output of the pressure measurement. If you simply want an indication that a certain level of vacuum has been reached (for example, to open a valve or start a process), then a vacuum switch or Active gauge head alone may be appropriate. If you want to display the pressure locally, then a dial gauge may be suitable. If you need the pressure display to be remote from the measurement point (for example, in a control panel) then select the TIC Instrument Controller or Active Digital Controller, depending on the features you require. (You will also need to select appropriate gauge head(s) to accompany these displays and controllers.) If your control system (such as a PLC, PC or dedicated microprocessor controller) needs to know the pressure to make sequence decisions but you do not need a separate vacuum display, then you can use an Active gauge head as a stand-alone transducer connected to an appropriate power supply and control system analog input. Thirdly, you need to select a gauge suitable for the process gases and constructed to withstand exposure to the external environment of your vacuum system. Consider both whether the gauge will survive in the process and also whether the process gases will effect the gauge's measurement. For example, the measurement made by mechanical gauges (vacuum switches, dial gauges, strain gauges and capacitance manometers) is not affected by gas composition, whereas that made by other types of gauges is gas dependent. Calibration for Different GasesAll of our gauge heads are calibrated for dry nitrogen; the calibration for dry air is the same. If you use thermal conductivity or ionization gauges with gases other than nitrogen or air, you may need to apply a gas correction factor for an accurate indication of your system pressure. Please contact us if you need more information. Gauge Head InstallationHow you install the gauge head into your vacuum system will affect the accuracy and reliability of your pressure measurement. For best performance we recommend that you:
The Active Gauge Concept
Edwards Active vacuum gauges and controllers give unrivalled performance, flexibility and ease of use. Traditionally, vacuum gauges consisted of a sensing element and a separate display/ controller. With Edwards' Active gauges, the functions that are specific to the gauge type (such as signal conditioning and specialized power supplies) have been moved from the dedicated controller and incorporated in the head itself. Now the gauge head can be used as a stand-alone transducer: it requires only a simple power supply and it provides a 2 to 10 V output. Alternatively, you can connect the gauges to a Edwards display or universal controller: these will accept all gauge types in any combination for the most flexible solution. The Active Gauge RangeActive Pirani GaugeA range of Pirani gauges including linear measuring from above atmospheric pressure to 10-4 mbar, with integral set-point for OEM use.Active Ion GaugeA new range of small self-contained Active ion gauges with a measuring range from 5 x 10-2 to 5 x 10-10 Torr. The gauges incorporate degas, automatic emission current switching, automatic filament protection, a push button adjustable set point and status indicating LED.Active Inverted MagnetronOperating through the range 10-2 mbar to 10-9 mbar, with integral set-point for OEM use. A low external magnetic active field version is available.Active Wide Range GaugeA range of gauges measuring from atmosphere to 10-9 mbar with a linear output and integral set-point for OEM use. A low external magnetic field version is available.Active Thermocouple GaugeA range of gauges measuring from atmosphere to 10-3 mbar, with integral set-point for OEM use and LED indication of vacuum status.Active Strain GaugeA range of strain gauges measuring from 2000 mbar to 1 mbar. This type of gauge is extremely rugged and offers accurate, gas independent measurement.Ion Gauge ControllerThe Ion Gauge Controller can operate one or two ion gauge tubes, as well as a high pressure interlocking gauge. It has a measurement range of 5 x 10-3 to 2 x 10-11 mbar, with 3 levels of emission current and electron bombardment type degas.Barocel Capacitance ManometersThe Barocel manometers provide high accuracy, high stability, gas independent pressure measurement making them ideal for a wide range of industrial process, research and calibration applications. Their Iconel/Monel construction means that they can also be used with corrosive and radioactive gases.
Active Controllers and DisplaysThe Edwards Active range of gauges can operate as stand-alone pressure transducers requiring only a simple power supply and providing a 2 to 10 V analog output. If you need a complete vacuum measuring and display system, we also offer a range of controllers and displays. Our displays and controllers are designed for maximum flexibility and ease of use. The range is suitable for bench-top or panel mounting and options include RS232 interfacing. TIC Instrument ControllerA compact instrument controller with a large clear graphical display, an intuitive user interface and serial communications providing full remote control and data logging functions for one or more TIC systems via a new Windows™ based PC program.The controller supports, automatically recognizes and controls up to six gauges from the Edwards range (including IGC and up to three Barocels), with coverage from 2000 to 6.6 x 10-10 mbar. Low pressure gauges may be controlled and protected by high pressure gauges and there are open collector set point outputs. An optional relay box uses these outputs to control mains changeover relays. The TIC instrument controller may be either rack or bench mounted and provides a useful hub for the flexible operation of a wide range of vacuum system configurations. Active Digital ControllerThe Edwards Active Digital Controller (ADC) is a compact single gauge controller and display. It features a bright LED display and simple push-button controls. The ADC automatically recognizes compatible Edwards gauges, loads the appropriate lookup table and displays the pressure in commonly used vacuum units.The ADC is available in standard and enhanced versions. The standard controller displays the pressure measured by a single active gauge. The enhanced controller supports two similar gauges - it has two variable hysteresis set-points which are linked to 48 V d.c. 1 A changeover relays and two 0-10 V d.c. analog outputs. To aid system integration, the enhanced controller is provided with an RS232 interface. When combined with a suitable gauge, such as the Edwards APGX-H Convection Pirani or Wide Range Gauge (WRG), the ADC represents a cost effective means of monitoring and controlling process vacuum in a broad range of applications. Other InstrumentsIn addition to the range of Active gauges, Edwards offers a variety of more traditional vacuum measurement and control products. Our simple dial gauges provide rugged, local indication of pressures from atmosphere to 1 mbar and are ideal for vacuum chambers in an industrial environment. Vacuum switches, with high current ratings, give a simple method of directly controlling loads without the need for additional relays or power supplies. Gauge Calibration ServiceAll Edwards gauges may either be supplied with a calibration certificate or re-calibrated by request.
