October 27, 2011 - ULVAC introduces the SM2 transducer type multi ionization gauge which can connect gauge heads with different measurement ranges. The G-TRAN Series Multi Ionization Gauge SH2 is a separation type wide range vacuum gauge that can connect three different types of vacuum gauges by incorporating signals from a Pirani gauge SPU"and an Atmospheric sensor SAU.
In addition to being able to select the gauge head to meet the desired vacuum range by the user, the vacuum gauge also has following advantages. (1) Possible to measure a wide range (atmospheric pressure to high vacuum range; 5x10-8Pa) (2) Possible to replace only failed gauge heads (3) Possible to reduce running costs (low environmental burden type) With the SH2 it is possible to select the gauge head for the range that needs to be measured. A wide range of measurements can be performed by using the Pirani gauge (SPU) if a low vacuum range measurement is required, or connect the Atmospheric sensor (SAU) to precisely measure atmospheric pressure.
A warning function lets the user know when the filament life is low and a highly visible LED lets the user know from afar when a malfunction has occurred.
