Design FeaturesDV-Series Thermocouple Instrumentation

MDC’s DV-Series Thermocouple Instrumentation provides power to,and accurate readings from our line of TGT vacuum gauge tubes.These instruments feature a precision analog-to-digital converter cir-cuitry. This circuitry combined with the unit’s microchip, measuresthe output from the vacuum gauge tube and displays it as a digitalreading on the front of the unit.

The Digital Vacuum Meter (DVM) instrument includes two convenientfront panel controls. The first is an adjustment pot which can be usedto set the zero of the instrument. The second is a simple push buttonwhich is used at atmospheric pressure to set span. However, theinstrument comes calibrated from the factory and adjustments onnew units are rarely necessary.

The Digital Vacuum Controller (DVC) Instrument features the sameconvenient front panel controls as the DVM. Additionally, the DVC hasset point adjustments with LED indicators for each and an overridebutton that allows for set point pressure to be displayed.

Both the DVM & DVC models are offered as either the 4000 Series(0-20 Torr) or the 6000 Series (0-1000 mTorr) models. Both aredesigned to provide years of trouble-free service and minimal main-tenance.
