NGC3 Ion Gauge Controller with Active Gauge Input
The NGC3 is a high-accuracy Ion Gauge controller that offers integrated pressure measurement and process
control with a large, clear display, an intuitive user interface and serial communications. It offers integrated pressure measurement and control of Ionization and Active gauges. The NGC3 supports four modes of Ion gauge operation; Auto and Interlock use Active or Pirani gauge pressure to automatically start/stop the Ion gauge, or prevent it from starting based on Active or Pirani gauge pressure. External inhibit allows start/stop of Ion gauge from an externally supplied logic signal. Use manual mode to force Ion gauge on and off as required.
The NGC3 incorporates an industry standard RJ45 jack that allows connection of most low power Active gauges, enabling a continuous measurement range of 1200 mBar to 3 x 10-11 mBar when used with our AGP Active Pirani gauge head or equivalant.
