CHAPTER 1 TELEVAC

Description and Instrument Operation

The MP7ER/FR series Remote Module provides a compact stand-alone measurement solution for
applications that do not require traditional panel-mounted instrument readouts. These modules
can provide local readout and control or can be interfaced directly with a PLC, chart recorder, or
data acquisition system. The MP7ER/FR series of instruments use the time proven reliable and
rugged TELEVAC 7ER/FR Sensor, which can be changed in seconds. These instruments operate
from low voltage DC and are easily integrated into the largest process system with a minimal
effort. Likewise, the MP7ER/FR Remote Gauge can be used as a small stand-alone vacuum
measurement solution.

Features

» Wide range 10-2 to 10-11 Torr
» Fast restart at high vacuum

» No x-ray limit
» Reduced external magnetic field
» Compact design

» Rugged/durable

» No-filament burnout
» No degassing required
» Long life
» Cleanable sensor (7ER)
