Dual-function vacuum gauge with digital display and 0-10V output for industrial process control and monitoring.
This variant of the DS200 series is used as a vacuum gauge with a 0-10V output, and is specifically designed for applications requiring both local visual monitoring and remote electronic data acquisition. This dual-functionality instrument provides a clear, easy-to-read LED display for on-site vacuum pressure readings, ranging from 0 to -30 inches of mercury (inHg). Simultaneously, it delivers a 0 to 10V analog output signal, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial control systems, data loggers, and recording devices. This makes it ideal for applications where vacuum pressure needs to be integrated into a larger automation or monitoring system.
The gauge is scaled and calibrated with a “negative gauge” pressure type, meaning its 0 inHg reading corresponds to atmospheric pressure. As vacuum increases, the negative pressure reading increases, providing an intuitive representation of vacuum levels. This is particularly useful in systems where vacuum levels fluctuate, as the gauge provides real-time feedback on these changes both visually and electronically.
The DS200 series is commonly employed in industries such as:
- Plastics processing: Monitoring vacuum levels in extruders, injection molding machines, and thermoforming equipment.
- Food packaging: Ensuring proper vacuum levels for sealing and preserving food products.
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing: Controlling vacuum in lyophilization (freeze-drying) processes.
- Laboratory and research: Monitoring vacuum in various experimental setups and analytical instruments.
- Semiconductor manufacturing: Maintaining precise vacuum levels in deposition and etching processes.
