1 Crystal Ion Gauge M-332MX Outline
The A-NET Crystal Ion Gauge M-332MX is a transducer model
vacuum gauge that can measure pressures over a wide range from 4 x
10-8 Pa to atmospheric pressure. The vacuum gauge controller and the
gauge head are incorporated into a single body.
This vacuum gauge is a combination vacuum gauge that uses a
crystal type vacuum gauge (crystal gauge), which employs a crystal
oscillator, for measuring in the high-pressure region and a ionization
vacuum gauge (B-A gauge) for measuring in the low-pressure region.
By a combination of pressure measurements, it is possible to measure
pressures over a wide range from 4 x 10-8 Pa to atmospheric pressure
by a single vacuum gauge.

Item Specification
Gauge head Model name: MX1
Crystal type vacuum gauge (crystal gauge) and ionization vacuum gauge (B-A gauge)
combination gauge
Pressure measurement range 4 x 10-8 Pa to atmospheric pressure
Crystal gauge measurement range: 1 Pa to atmospheric pressure
B-A gauge measurement range: 4 x 10-8 Pa to 13 Pa
* The lower limit pressure measurement range is indicated by the soft X-ray limit.
The lower limit pressure of the effective pressure measurement range varies depending on the
gauge head connecting flange together with the pumping system configuration and pumping system
operating conditions. (As a guideline, KF flange type: 10-6 Pa, ICF flange type: 10-7 Pa)
Input power supply DC 22 to 26 V (Maximum power consumption 12 W: when filament and degas are ON)
Note: Due to the inrush current when the power is switched ON, prepare a DC power supply that has
current capacity of 1.6 Amps or higher.
Degas method Grid power ON
Input control signal ①Filament ON/OFF
②Degas ON/OFF
③Crystal gauge zero reset input
④Crystal gauge ATM reset input
B-A filament ON/OFF Controlled by the filament ON/OFF signal.
①Manual control: zero is adjusted by the switch on the rear panel.
②Remote control: zero is adjusted by external input.
Crystal gauge zero adjustment
③Auto mode: when the B-A gauge switches ON, if the B-A measurement pressure remains below
the zero reset allowing pressure (1.33 x 10-2 Pa) the zero point is automatically adjusted every 5
minutes.
Crystal gauge ATM adjustment ①Manual control: ATM is adjusted by VR on the rear panel.
②Remote control: ATM is adjusted by external input (set to the value set by VR)
Pressure measurement
gas type N2gas conversion
Analog output The crystal gauge measurement pressure and the B-A gauge measurement pressure are output by
a single analog signal.
