I ½1 inch taut band ruggedized meters. Recorder outputs are also provided for each of the thermocouple circuit s. The thermocouple circuitry is designed to operate with Granville-Phillips 70006 or comparable transducers. Thermocouple process controls, when included, provide an individual SPOT relay contact set point for each thermocouple gauge.

This procedure uses a conventional Volt-Ohm Meter (VOM) and Resistor (10 ohm, 10 watt) With the gauge controller turned off, test for both DC and AC voltages between the metal parts of the vacuum chamber and the gauge controller chassis. If no voltages exist, measure resistance.

Figure 3-2 shows the configuration the tube elements must have if the tube is to mate directly to a standard cable assembly. Granville-Phillips catalog numbers 270007, 270008 and 270040 are standard cable assemblies with tube connection as shown in Fig.

Units of Measure Selection, Ion Gauge The ion gauge is capable of providing direct readout in Torr, mbar and Pascal units. To switch units, refer to Fig. 3-5 for proper location of the jumper plug. The jumper plug is located on the main printed circuit board directly behind the ion gauge panel meter (see Fig. 6-1 ).

SECTION IV OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS It is desirable to read these instructions if full use is to be made of the many NOTE: features designed into this controller. Purpose of Controls (Left to right) (Refer to Fig. 4-1) ·· Power Switch - Supplies power to the entire unit when switch is placed in the on position.

Complete the previous section on thermocouple zero. Rotate the TC t/2 set pot full CCW. Place the filament switch in the prese t position if auto filament control is to be u sed. Set the system pressure for the desired trip point� Slowly rotate the TC 112 set pot CW until the filament light turns on and/or the t/2 process relay energizes.
Page 14
IG Set Point Adjust (power on) Rotate the set point pot fully CCW. Allow pressure in the system to stabilize at the desired control point. Slowly rotate the pot CW until the process relay energizes. The process control relays on the ionization gauge are interlocked in the following manner: Operation i s only possible when the autorange switch i s i n the on position.

For example, if your tube has a sensitivity of 25/Torr, then the meter reading during calibration to make the controller direct reading is: 10/Torr Meter reading ::: x 10 25/Torr To set the emission current, proceed as follows. Establish the necessary meter reading as described in the previous section.

The controller is capable of supplying rated filament power to a tube with up to a 40 foot gauge cable. A longer cable can be used if the filament and grid wire size is increased to maintain a line resistance of less than .06 ohms per lead. Consult Granville-Phillips for long cables.

SECTION V THEORY OF OPERATION General Theory of Operation of Ion Gauge Tube and Controller FILAMENT GRID FIG. 5-1 SCHEMA TIC OF COMMON IG TUBE The pressure indication of a Bayard-Alpert gauge is based on the ionization of gas molecules by a constant flow of electrons. The functional parts of the gauge, shown schematically in Fig.
Fi lament On-Off (Refer to Fig. 5-4) Transistor Ql4 and filament relay K3 control the power to the filament. During manual operation the base of Ql4 is turned on by the +I0V signal applied from C7 when the filament switch is momentarily toggled to the on/off position. This energizes K3 establishing a holding path through R2 6 and R24.
IC6-A and IC6-B are voltage comparators having as their inputs a voltage corresponding to the desired set point and the output of the pressure amplifier. When the pressure is lower than the set points selected the amplifier switches from positive saturation to negative saturation turning on the relay driver transistor and energizing the relay.
