The 971 UniMag™ vacuum transducer offers a wide measuring range from 1×10
-8
to 5×10
-3
Torr and is
based on measurement of cold cathode ionization current.
The 971 is designed for general purpose pressure
measurement and control as a standalone unit or with the
PDR900 display and controller unit.
The transducer uses RS232 or RS485 digital communication
interface for setup of transducer parameters and to provide
real time pressure measurement.
The 971 has up to three mechanical relays which can be used
for process control, for example interlocking valves or pumps. The analog voltage
output can be interfaced to external analog equipment for pressure readout or
control.
The cold cathode inverted magnetron utilizes a high voltage anode,
cathode and a permanent magnet. Electrons are accelerated towards the
anode and will ionize molecules by collision. The magnetic field deflects
the electrons, causing them to spiral as they move across the magnetic
field to the anode. This spiraling movement increases the opportunity for
them to encounter and ionize the molecules.
The ionization of the molecules creates an electric current as a function of
the pressure.
The 971 can be used in many different vacuum applications within the
semiconductor, analytical and coating industries:
General vacuum pressure measurement
Coating
Mass spectrometer control
System process control
Sense abnormal pressure and take appropriate security measures using set point relays
Control system base pressure
The 971 transducer is manufactured according to the RoHS directive.
For the benefit of the environment, at the end of life of the 971, it should not be
disposed in the normal unsorted waste stream. It should be deposited at an
appropriate collection point or facility to enable recovery or recycling.
