COMMANDS FOR THE 3F HOT CATHODE MINI-BA MODULE
NOTE: When installing or removing a 3F HOT CATHODE MINI-BA MODULE from the MM200, these commands
must be entered to enable or disable the 3F module. Also, the SE command should follow in order to save the
entry. If one or two 3F modules are to be installed, enter the SA3 command. If no 3F modules are installed, enter
the CA3 command.
SA3 – Command to enable 3F modules.
CA3 – Command to disable 3F modules.

COMMUNICATIONS
RS232/RS485
The Televac Modular Vacuum Gage accepts various sensor modules and
relay modules, as well as a communications module. Upon power-up, the microprocessor determines the actual
configuration of the modular unit by way of electrical tests.
Aside from the front panel operation of the modular unit, there are over 100 commands that can be issued by way
of the RS232 or RS485 interface (communications interface) to control the operation of the modular unit.
Availability of the RS422 functions depends on having the proper communications board to handle RS422. The
standard board handles RS232 and RS485.
The description of these commands is given below, followed by a summary. The commands are separated into
groups, where in each group the commands relate to a common subject. For additional RS485 commands see
"RS485 Host Command Set".
Note that in the following discussion, where quotation marks are used, they are neither a part of command nor part
of the response. Also, the symbol "<cr>" refers to the sending of a carriage return (0DH), either in the command, or
in the response. All commands will produce a response (except RS485 "broadcast" commands) so that the host
will know that the command has been received.
If a command is not recognized as a legitimate command, the response will
be a question mark "?<cr>". Commands that do not require a response otherwise, will respond with "A<cr>" to in-
dicate that the command has been received (acknowledged) and the required action has or will be taken.
