## Function

Dual-sensor vacuum transducer combining cold cathode ionization gauge and MEMS-based thermal conductivity sensor for wide-range pressure measurement from ultra-high vacuum to atmosphere. Provides continuous pressure monitoring with three configurable relay setpoints for process control. Features RS232/RS485/EtherCAT digital interfaces and analog output for integration with vacuum controllers and PLCs. NW25 KF flange enables direct chamber mounting. Viton-sealed enclosure ensures compatibility with corrosive environments. Common applications include semiconductor processing, thin film deposition, analytical instrumentation, and research vacuum systems requiring precise pressure measurement across multiple decades.
