Open loop Installation & Wiring Diagram
Connecting an open loop PPS-20 in a vacuum chamber requires the use of a feed
through connector at the vacuum chamber wall. The vacuum compatible PPS-20
will be supplied with wiring for a straight through feed through not a cross over
gender changer. MICRONIX USA supplies test connectors that simulate the
vacuum feed through to allow functionality test prior to installation in a vacuum
chamber. For details regarding the pin-out and feed through specifications see
the Appendix A.3.
