Technical Data ELECTRICAL DATA Connector type Electrical supply Power consumption Earth stud OPERATING AND STORAGE DATA Ambient operating temperature range Ambient storage temperature range Maximum ambient operating humidity Maximum operating altitude I EC rated pollution degree MECHANICAL DATA The unit is self-protecting and has no user replaceable fuse. The unit will recover once any overload is removed. The figure illustrates the use of Active Pirani Gauge (APG100) and Active Inverted Magnetron Gauges (AIM), which may be replaced by asingleWide Range Gauge (WRG). The logic interface (M)...

External Interfaces And Configuration Options Logic interface Control inputs Status outputs Serial interface The logic interface connector may be used either to link to system relays, a higher-level control system, or an optional relay box. By utilizing the relay box pass-through connector, a combination of a higher-level control system and relay box may be used. Gauge enable: System interlock: Analog output: Open when high: 4 to 24 V DC SYSI closed when low: < 0.5 V DC Open when high: 4 to 24 V DC 1 for each gauge channel 0-10 V DC The TIC has two built-in communications protocols, RS232...

Compatible Gauges * The AIGX draws 8W in normal operation, 15W in degas mode. The total power available to drive the gauges is limited to 38 W. Additionally, for capacitance manometers, power Two relay boxes are available to allow the TIC set point outputs to operate either three 250V AC, 3A or six 250V AC, 5A (non-inductive) changeover relays. The relay box is equipped with a logic connector to allow interfacing with the TIC, and with a separate bypass connector for interfacing with other external control equipment. 1 250V ac 3A changeover relays (3 channel) 2 Logic interface (from TIC)
