Product catalog summary
Operating Specifications
The MX7B Active Gauge operates within a range of 1x10-8 Torr to 1x10-3 Torr. It features an OLED display, RS-485 and USB digital communications, and a configurable analog output of 0 to 10 V DC. It includes two programmable set points, with set point 1 being an open collector and set point 2 a relay. The device requires a supply voltage of 22 V DC to 26 V DC and has a maximum power consumption of 8 W. It is calibrated using dry air or nitrogen and can withstand overpressure up to 150 PSI. The operating temperature range is 0 °C to 50 °C, with storage temperatures between -20 °C and 60 °C. The gauge has a response time of ≤ 150 ms and an accuracy of ±30% of reading from 1x10-7 to 1x10-3 Torr.
Ordering Information
The MX7B is available with different fittings, including NW25 (DN25 ISO-KF) Stainless Steel and ¾” NPT Brass. Replacement sensors and various lengths of D-Sub conductor cables are also available. A wall power supply supporting 100-240 V AC is offered.
