This passive sensor is based on an innovative concept of ioniza- tion vacuum gauge, whereby a hot cathode emits electrons travelling on a straight path into a Faraday cup. The IRG080 is operated by the Ion Reference gauge Controller IRC081.

A1:2019/AC:2019 are fulfilled. If different controller units are used, the user is responsible for a safe operation. The IRG080 is a hot cathode ionization gauge with electrode system configuration according to ISO/WD TS 6737 (see Fig. 5, 12). Electrons emitted from the cathode are accelerated and focused with the Wehnelt cylinder into the anode space.
