Product catalog summary
Series Overview
Alicat Scientific offers the P-Series digital pressure gauges and PC-Series pressure controllers for precise measurement and control of absolute or gauge pressure in gases and liquids. The PC3-Series includes a remote pressure sense port for distant process control. These instruments are available with corrosion-resistant materials and stainless steel flow bodies, suitable for corrosive environments. All devices come with NIST-traceable calibration and a lifetime warranty, supported by technical assistance and recalibration services.

Features
The P/PC-Series includes large displays and touchpads for setpoint control and PID valve tuning. They support both analog and RS-232 digital communications, with customizations for hazardous environments and portable use. The series offers a 200:1 turndown ratio, 0.125% accuracy, and <100 ms response times, with pressure ranges from 0-30 psia to 0-500 psia and 0-1 psig to 0-500 psig.

Technical Data
The PC and PC3 controllers manage absolute, gauge, or differential pressure, with options for vacuum or backpressure control. PCR controllers are suitable for flows over 20 lpm. The PC3 and PCR3 models include an external pressure port for remote sensing. Standard accuracy is ±0.25%, with a high accuracy option of ±0.125%. Repeatability is ±0.08% full scale, with a 0.02% full scale shift per degree Celsius. Operating conditions include compatibility with non-corrosive gases, a temperature range of -10 to +50°C, and IP40 ingress protection.

Communication and Power
Controllers feature monochrome or color displays with touchpads, supporting RS-232, RS-485, and PROFIBUS digital outputs, and various analog outputs. Electrical connections include Mini-DIN, D-sub, and locking options, with supply voltages from 12-30 Vdc.

Mechanical Specifications
PC and PC3 controllers measure 4.1”H x 3.6”W x 1.1”D with 1/8” NPT female connections, while PCR and PCR3 controllers are 5.5”H x 2.9”W x 5.5”D with 3/4” NPT female connections. Compatible with various fittings, they offer a range of pressure units and standard ranges, with custom options available.

PC-Series-1

Digital Absolute or Gauge Pressure Measurement and Control Series Overview Alicat Scientific P-Series digital pressure gauges accurately and rapidly measure the absolute or gauge pressure of process gases and liquids. PC-Series pressure controllers provide precise control of pressure via customized high-speed proportional control valves. For backpressure control, the PC Series is available with downstream valves and inverse valve control algorithms. Alicat’s PC3-Series pressure controllers incorporate a remote pressure sense port for control of flow into a process that is distant from the controller. Each instrument within the P/PC/PC3 Series is also available with corrosion-resistant wetted materials and stainless steel flow bodies. These devices belong to the PS/PCS/PCS3 line of pressure gauges and controllers for corrosives. All pressure instruments come with NIST-traceable calibration sheets. Alicat backs every P/PC-Series pressure instrument with generous customer support, including free technical phone support, prompt recalibration service and a lifetime warranty. Alicat P/PC-Series pressure gauges and controllers feature large integrated displays. PC-Series controller touchpads enable setpoint control access and PID valve tuning. The P/PC Series comes with both analog and RS-232 digital communications. Extensive customizations are available, including Class 1, Div 2 ATEX/ CSA ratings for use in hazardous environments and battery operation for portable gauges (PB Series). Applications Alicat Scientific P/PC-Series digital pressure gauges and controllers are used in a variety of industries, from gas analysis and filter characterization to vacuum coating and process control. A low 200:1 turndown ratio, available 0.125% accuracy, 0.2% full-scale repeatability and <100 ms control response times ensure optimal performance of pressure control processes. The P/PC Series is available in full-scale absolute pressure ranges from 0-30 psia to 0-500 psia, and in fullscale gauge pressure ranges from 0-1 psig to 0-500 psig.
