1.3 Technical description
1.3.1 COMBIVAC CM 31
This combination instrument is equipped with three mea-
surement channels, two THERMOVAC channels and
one PENNINGVAC. Thus it is possible to measure and
control the vacuum in over 12 decades ranging between
1·10
-9
mbar and atmospheric pressure. Six switching
thresholds, three logarithmic chart recorder outputs and
the self-monitoring facility permit integration of the COM-
BIVAC CM 31 into complex vacuum control arrange-
ments. The two THERMOVAC channels are immediately
active as soon as the line voltage is applied. The PEN-
NINGVAC channel may be switched on and off through
the second THERMOVAC channel (TM 2), externally or
manually via HV-key; see also Section 2.3.6.
All operating modes of the triggers and the gauges
aredisplayed and also signalled to the corresponding
outputs.
1.3.2 THERMOVAC method of
measurement (Pirani)
This method of measurement for the pressure range of
5·10
-4
to 1000 mbar makes use of the thermal conduc-
tivity of the residual gas. In order to obtain response
times which are as short as possible, all THERMOVAC
instruments rely exclusively on the principle of the con-
trolled Pirani gauge.
The filament is part of a Wheatstone bridge. If the tem-
perature of the filament changes due to a change in the
pressure, the bridge then becomes unbalanced. A fast-
acting control circuit then adapts the heating power
applied to the filament, so that filament temperature
again reaches its nominal value and the bridge is reba-
lanced. The pressure readings obtained in this way
depend on the type of gas. Normally the readings of the
instruments are calibrated for nitrogen or air, with Argon
being selectable.
The mechanical design of the gauge heads is very rug-
ged and so, that dust cannot enter the electronics hou-
sing. Six types of sensors are available:
- TR 201 DN 10 KF / TR 211 DN 16 KF with tungsten fila-
ment for all standard applications
- TR 205 DN 16 CF which are bakeable and
- TR 206 DN 10 KF / TR 216 DN 16 KF with a nickel / pla-
tinum filament and of a corrosion protected design.
1.3.3 PENNINGVAC method of measure-
ment (cold cathode)
To measure the pressure a gas discharge is ignited wit-
hin the sensor by applying a high voltage. The resulting
ion current is outputed as a signal which is proportional
