VSM vacuum transducer

VSM vacuum transducer

VSM vacuum transducer

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and features of the VSM Smartline Vacuum Transducer, which utilizes a combination of Pirani and cold cathode sensors for vacuum measurement. It supports various communication interfaces including RS485, 0-10 V output, EtherCAT, and PROFINET, with optional Bluetooth connectivity.
Specifications:
  • Measurement Principle: Heat conduction using Pirani and cold cathode (inverse magnetron), dependent on gas type.
  • Measurement Range: 1000 to 5e-9 mbar (750 to 5e-9 Torr).
  • Max Overload: 10 bar absolute, optional 16 bar with CERT31P.
  • Accuracy: Varies by range, with up to 30% full range (f.r.) accuracy for higher pressures.
  • Materials: Stainless steel, tungsten, nickel, glass, molybdenum, Al₂O₃ ceramic.
  • Operating Temperature: +5 to +60°C, with specific limits for Profinet.
  • Voltage Supply: 20-30 VDC, with power consumption up to 3 W.
  • Output Signal: 0-10 VDC, scalable, with RS485 serial interface.
  • Protection Class: Up to IP54.
Features:
  • Exchangeable sensor heads with stored calibration data.
  • Large LCD display for models excluding EtherCAT and PROFINET.
  • Two independent relay switch points, except for EtherCAT and PROFINET models.
  • Metal sealed stainless steel sensor cell suitable for ultra-high vacuum (UHV).
  • Intelligent sensors for Industry 4.0 integration.
Models and Accessories:
  • Various models available with different vacuum connections (DN 25 ISO-KF, DN 40 ISO-KF, DN 40 CF-F) and interfaces (RS485, EtherCAT, PROFINET).
  • Accessories include overpressure stability certification, replacement sensor heads, protective cases, and software for data visualization and analysis.
Applications: Suitable for environments requiring precise vacuum measurement and control, with robust design for industrial applications.
