Alternate gauge displays pressure from an alternate gauge such
as a Capacitance Diaphragm Gauge - CDG or
other INFICON gauges using the analog input
(external power source for these alternate
auxiliary devices will be required)
IG sensor on/off can all be controlled via front panel soft-keys, remote input signals
(digital I/O) or serial communications. IG sensor can also be automatically turned
on/off using measurements from one of the user selectable convection or alternate
gauges.
IG sensor on/off can also be set by applying momentary continuity to ground. Also
the 9-pin D-sub remote input DIGITAL I/O connector provides pin-pin compatible
signals with the GP 358 controller as well as compatible signals with the GP 307.

4 Installation
The unit is intended for indoor use only. The unit is offered as a space saving half
rack design. It may also be used as a bench top device or easily installed in an
instrument panel. Optional EIA-standard rack mount panels are available for either
full rack or dual, side-by-side rack mount installation.
Make a cutout in your rack panel or instrument control panel as shown in
the drawing below. Be sure to allow clearance behind the panel for the in-
strument as well as connectors and cables at the back of the instrument.
Optional EIA-standard, 19-inch, 2U height rack mount panels are available
from INFICON. The optional rack mount panels are provided with panel cut-
outs and mounting holes to allow efficient mounting of your VGC083C unit.
Drill four guide holes on each side of the panel cut out (two on each side)
with dimensions as shown in the panel cut-out drawing above.
Slide the unit into the panel hole cut-out. Guide the four studs on the back of
the unit front panel face plate thru the four holes next to the panel cut-out.
Use four # 10-32 Hex Nut (provided with instrument) to tighten the unit to
the panel.
Optional EIA-standard 19-inch wide, 2U height rack mount panels available from

The VGC083C requires an input power of 20 … 28 V (dc), 12 W to operate. One
each 2-contact pluggable terminal strip mating connector is provided for connection
to the power contactors. Optional power supplies are also available from INFICON
(PN →70).

When using a capacitance manometer / diaphragm gauge or INFICON modules
such as the PGE300, PGE500, BAG302 as an ALTERNATE GAUGE, the gauge
must be connected to the VGC083C as shown below. The alternate gauge must be
provided power from an auxiliary power supply capable of providing the power re-
quired by the alternate gauge connected to the VGC083C. The D contact is used in
this configuration to protect the IG from being turned on at high pressure in case
power to the alternate gauge is lost.
The IG can be controlled manually using the front panel soft-keys, via remote input
signals using the digital I/O connector or RS232/RS485 commands. The VCG083C
can also be configured so that the IG sensor on/off is controlled by using the
pressure measurements from CG1 , CG2 or the alternate gauge. If the user
prefers digital I/O as the means of controlling the IG , various control input and
status output signals are available from the 9-pin D-sub male DIGITAL I/O con-
nector. The DIGITAL I/O Connector also provides pin-pin compatible signals with
the GP 358 vacuum gauge controller as well as compatible signals with the
GP 307.
The DIGITAL I/O Connector provides three different types of signals as listed
below:
The IG sensor on/off can be set by applying momentary continuity to ground.
This requires a momentary ground of less than 0.4 V (dc) at 10 µA for 25 msec
(minimum) be applied. After this, the input must be allowed to float higher than
3.5 V (dc) for 105 msec (minimum) before another low can be applied.
Input signal: Apply momentary continuity to ground to turn IG sensor on or off
The IG on/off status relay is also available as both normally open and normally
closed to indicate IG is on or off. This is an output signal to other external instru-
ments to confirm IG filament is on or off. The IG on / off status relay is a single
pole, double-throw (SPDT) relay rated at 1.0 A, 30 V (dc) resistive or 1.0 A,
30 V (ac) non-inductive.
This can be used as an output signal to other external instruments to confirm
whether any error conditions exist.
Signal: Open collector transistor (ground emitter) rated at 40 V max. VCE,
50 mA IC max.
Transistor on = error condition exists,
Transistor off = no error condition exists
