Description
The GT 340A is an electrically powered gauge for use in harsh environments. The rugged electronics are designed for longevity and occasional accidental misuse. Two analog scales allow the user to take vacuum measurements from atmosphere to 1×10-3 torr. A separate meter scale for the 1 to 100 millitorr range provides increased readability in this critical area. Meter scales are calibrated in dry air.
Features
- Measures from atm to 1×10-3 torr
- Rugged thermisitor sensor – excellent for high vapor applications
- Interchangeable pre-calibrated tubes
- Rugged circuitry for high reliability
- Two scales for accurate pressure reading
- External circuit control feature available
- Leak detect capability on STA.1
- Second station can be added on-site
- Analog meter indicates direction of pressure change
- 115/230V, 50/60 Hz operation
Principle of Operation
A single element is employed in a bridge-type detector driven from a constant regulated voltage source. The inverse resistive characteristics of the sensor unbalances the bridge as pressure changes occur, thereby causing a current change. A microammeter scaled in pressure units measures this current.
Leak Detection
Gauge has Leak Detect Mode. Front panel switch allows adjustment of the gauge sensitivity to aid vacuum leak detection.
Recorder Connection
Connections on the rear panel of the gauge cabinet provide a pressure-responsive output independent of the selector switch. A 10-, 50-, or 100-millivolt high-impedance recorder with suitable attenuating network can be connected here to cover the entire pressure range of the gauge at either sensing station.
Modular Construction
Two GT-340A two-station gauges can be mounted side-by-side for applications requiring four-station operation, with the added advantages of two read-out meters and redundant circuitry.
