Vacuum Measurement Transducers
Varian offers many transducer technologies to fit a wide variety of
vacuum applications. The selection of an appropiate vacuum gauge
for a particular application depends upon many factors. Some of
the factors that should be considered are:
- operating pressure ranges
- repeatability of measurement
- mounting orientation
- accuracy of measurement
- transducer ruggedness
- the presence of chemically-reactive gas species
- sensitivity to stray magnetic or electromagnetic fields.

Active gauges
Active gauges are self-contained pressure measurement devices,
needing no external gauge controls. Each gauge contains a transducer
plus the circuitry necessary to drive the transducer and interpret
its signals into pressure data.

Gauge Controllers
In order to supply power to, and get readings from, a vacuum gauge
transducer, you must have a gauge controller,
unless you are using Varian all-in-one Active Gauges.
Varian, Inc. offers a variety of gauge controllers, from the simple Model 801
Thermocouple Gauge Controller to the versatile and powerful Multi-Gauge.
