4.8.8

Active Ion Gauge (AIGX-S) control

Note:

TIC does not support the AIGX-D variant of the AIGX range.

Note:

For a detailed specification and instructions regarding the use of the AIGX, refer to the Instruction Manual 
(D048-50-880).

The Active Ion Gauge (AIGX-S) is a fully integrated active instrument, with a measuring range of 6.6 x 10

-2

 to 6.6 x 

10

-10

 mbar (5 x 10

-2

 to 5 x 10

-10

 Torr). The gauge has a 1 volt/decade linear output in the range 0 to 10 V d.c. The 

AIGX-S is supplied with two filaments, which may be manually selected at the gauge head. For maximum filament 
life, the gauge includes automatic emission current switching and high-pressure shutdown. The only user selectable 
features are a setpoint and degas facility.

The gauge also includes a comprehensive range of diagnostic outputs, which are displayed on TIC.

AIGX has menu options in addition to those shown. (Refer to Default setup options (all gauges) 

Section 4.8.1

. (Refer 

to 

Table 21

 and 

Figure 21

).

Description

Degas

Allows the user to degas the gauge.
'Scroll' to 'Degas' and press 'Select'.
'Command Sent' appears for 1 s to confirm degas sequence initiated.

Note:

Whilst the gauge is degassing, the pressure output may read slightly higher 
than normal.

The maximum duration of the degas cycle is 3 minutes, during which the pressure 
shown on the 'View' screen will be suffixed with a 'DG' e.g. 1.67

DG

 - 09. At the end of 

the cycle, the gauge will automatically return to its normal operating mode.

If the pressure rises above 1.3 x 10

-4

 mbar (1 x 10

-4

 Torr) during the cycle, degas will 

automatically stop until the pressure falls below 4 x 10

-5

 mbar (3 x 10

-5

 Torr), at which 

point degas resumes for the remainder of the cycle.

Note:

There is no facility enabling degas to be manually switched off mid-cycle.
