The Active Wide Range Gauge (WRG) gauge offers the capability of single port pressure measurement in the range atmosphere to 10-9 mbar with a linear output. It is a compact solution, halving the space and connectivity hardware requirement, which can be all important in many applications. The WRG has many novel features, including a new striker, push-button calibration and set point controls and comprehensive diagnostics. The WRG is a cost-effective vacuum management solution when used either with an Edwards controller or directly integrated into the system controls. This gauge is particularly suited to monitoring the pressure on systems that are rapidly pumped down from atmosphere pressure to high vacuum levels.
