## Function

Multi-sensor vacuum transducer combining cold cathode ionization gauge, MEMS thermal conductivity sensor, and MEMS piezo differential sensor for wide-range pressure measurement from 1×10?8 to 1500 Torr absolute and ±760 Torr differential. Provides simultaneous vacuum and differential pressure monitoring with three programmable relay setpoints, analog voltage output proportional to pressure logarithm, and digital communication via RS232/RS485 protocols. Interfaces through SubD 15-pin HD connector for relay control and separate connectors for analog and digital signals. Mounts via NW25 KF flange for direct vacuum chamber integration in semiconductor processing, coating systems, and research applications requiring comprehensive pressure monitoring.
