D U N I W A Y S T O C K R O O M C O R P . B. General Description The Terranova Model 960 CVT-CCG Vacuum Controller displays vacuum pressure as measured from both a Cold Cathode gauge (CCG) and a Convection Enhanced Pirani (CVT) gauge. The 960 is housed in a 1/8 DIN enclosure and is simple to operate.

• mounting clips • D-sub 15 accessory connector • this instruction manual If your controller does not have all of these items, call Duniway Stockroom. If anything appears to have been damaged in shipment, contact the shipper. B. Mount the Controller You can rest the controller unit on a bench, table top, or shelf, or you can mount it in a rack or cabinet.
F. Attach the CVT Sensor Cable: Part Number CVT-275 NOTE: Be sure that the Terranova 960 power is OFF before connecting/disconnecting sensors. The sensor cable has a 9-pin D-sub connector on one end, which plugs into the 960, see Figure 5, below.
G. Attach the CCG Sensor Cable: Part Number: 05-410-SHV NOTE: Be sure that the Terranova 960 power is OFF before connecting/disconnecting sensor ca- bles. The CCG Sensor Cable is a coaxial high voltage cable, with a type 05 BNC coaxial connector on the 525 sensor end a type SHV coaxial connector on the 960 end.
