Chapter 1: Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the XGS-600. This product represents a major advance
in the simplicity, functionality and performance of vacuum gauge controllers. It was
conceived after extensive interviews with end users in a variety of applications. Its design
incorporates the latest in electronics and is CE and CSA certified and RoHS compliant. It is
compact, taking only ½ rack and it is simply without peer in terms of its capacity, usability
and capability.
You can view up to 8 gauges on one screen and can employ as many as 5 ion gauges or
12 convection gauges in one unit. With its simple user interface (designed to be operated
without a manual) and its many standard features (8 set points, serial communication,
universal voltage and pressure units), vacuum measurement is simplified. And where speed
is necessary for certain critical applications it was designed to process a signal in less than
20 milliseconds. These are just some of the many features that make the XGS-600, a unique
and powerful device. Once you have used the XGS-600, we trust that you, too will find that
it is not only a convenient and economical tool in your vacuum system but an
indispensable one as well.
Read this manual carefully to discover all the capability of this device, but if you don't have
time, simply turn it on and navigate through the screens to get started.
Backwards Compatibility
The XGS-600 is designed to be backward compatible with the SenTorr and MultiGauge
instruments. Refer to page A-8 for a full description.
