MKS HPS 943 Cold Cathode Vacuum Gauge Controller for MKS 423 I-Mag Cold Cathode Gauge

NOTE: The 943 Series has been discontinued by MKS. Once inventory runs out, this product will be discontinued by Ideal Vacuum Products and no longer available for purchase on this website. The recommended replacement is the 946 Series Controller (P1012840) with the Cold Cathode Sensor Card (P1012843).

The MKS HPS® Series 943 Cold Cathode vacuum gauge controller is compatible with the Series 423 I-Mag® sensor for OEM or industrial use and the 421 sensor for UHV use. The Series 943 Cold Cathode vacuum gauge controller is designed to be user-friendly and to provide fast, reliable pressure measurement from 10^-10 to 10^-2 Torr. The 943 Cold Cathode Vacuum Gauge is well-suited for industrial, process, and analytical applications including pressure measurement of high vacuum chambers and control of high vacuum systems. Areas of applications may include high energy physics, analytical instruments, laser production, ion implantation, mass spectrometry, or PVD. The 943 digital controller features two standard independent relay set points, which allows the user to confidently control the process. Adjust the set points from the front panel while viewing the display. Red LEDs indicate set point activation status.

The Series 943 displays pressure from 10^-10 to10^-2 Torr using a high visibility LED display. For remote pressure monitoring, two types of analog output are standard. An internal converter provides output that allows a simple log conversion from voltage to pressure over the entire operating range. A fast responding, buffered analog output is also provided through the 15-pin accessory connector on the rear panel. Front panel functions allow the user to disable the high voltage, as well as set a pressure at which the cold cathode will automatically turn off. This prevents the controller from displaying incorrect readings when the pressure rises above the operating range of the sensor. This unit is brand new and comes with power cord, an accessory connector kit, and an instruction manual. The 421 Sensor and 423 I-Mag® Sensor for this unit and signal cable are sold separetely on this website.
