1.0 General Information This manual contains technical and general information relating to the installation, operation, and calibration of vacuum gauges and gauge tubes manufactured by Teledyne Hastings Instruments (THI). For best performance, THI vacuum gauges should be operated with the appropriate THI gauge tube. Attempting to use a THI vacuum gauge with another manufacturer’s tubes may result in damage to both the gauge and tube. 1.1 Features The THI Digital AVC (DAVC), is a digital r

1.4.3 Calibration Reference Vacuum Gauge Tubes 1000 mTorr Range Tubes Stock # Model # Description THI Reference Tubes employ the same metal thermopiles used in all 55-38 DV-6M 1/8” NPT Standard (Yellow base) THI Vacuum Gauge Tubes. The thermopile is sealed in a glass 55-38R DV-6R 1/8” Ruggedized capsule that has been evacuated, 55-38RS DV-6 1/8” NPT Rohs Rugged baked, out-gassed, and then aged to 55-38S DV-6S 1/8” NPT Rugged/Vibration ensure long-term stability.

2.0 Installation 2.1 Power-I/O Cable The Power-I/O Cable is assembled at the factory as shown in Fig. 1. Its terminal end is finished with stripped wire ends each tinned with lead free solder. This configuration is consistent with the previous, analog version of the AVC and its color coded wire assignment remains the same, as much as possible, considering the additional features of the Digital version.

3.0 Vacuum Gauge Operation All THI gauge tubes are shipped with a protective cap or cover at the evacuation port to reduce contamination and prevent damage to the internal thermopile elements. Once the protective cap or cover is removed, a tube can be installed in any convenient position in the vacuum system without adversely affecting calibration or performance. The recommended orientation is with the tube vertical and its stem down. This will aide in preventing condensable materials fro

This signal is equal to an amplified tube millivolt signal. This signal will NOT be linearly proportional to the indicated pressure. 1 volt (1.2 for DAVC4-1.2V) will correspond to a system pressure that is at least 1 order of magnitude less than the minimum detectable pressure. Increasing pressure will be indicated by a decreasing voltage. The minimum detectable pressure is 0.2 millitorr for DAVC-5, 1 millitorr for DAVC-6 and 20 millitorr for DAVC-4. The voltage signal can be mapped to

3.3 Alarm Set point A single set point controls two open collector circuits. Though not the mechanical relays, the two circuits called Alarm 1 (P > SP) and Alarm 2 (P < SP) allow physical monitoring of the state of the vacuum with respect to the set point. Alarm 1 (P > SP), pin #1 (gray), is active when the red LED is ‘ON’ indicating that the pressure is above the set point. Alarm 2 (P < SP), Pin #2 (brown), is active when the green LED is ‘ON’ indicating that the pressure is below the se

3.6 Gauge Tube Operating Principle Operation of the Hastings gauge tube is based on a low voltage AC bridge that heats a noble metal thermopile. A change in pressure in the gauge tube changes the molecular collision rate and therefore the thermal conduction of the gas or gas mixture surrounding the thermopile. This results in a temperature shift in the AC heated thermocouples A and B (Fig. 6). The resultant temperature shift causes a change in the DC output from couples A and B inversely wi
