Description
The fully electronic vacuum gauge set DCP 3000 + VSK 3000 provides direct on‑site pressure measurement with a large illuminated display and an easy rotary selector for all connected sensors. Up to eight vacuum sensors can be connected to the DCP 3000 (combinations of VSK 3000 / VACUU·VIEW and VSP 3000 / VACUU·VIEW extended). The instrument supports relative pressure measurement using a reference sensor (VSK 3000), pressure-dependent switching points for external valves, and operation as a data logger with up to 32,000 measuring points. Data export is available via the RS‑232C interface. The VSK 3000 is a capacitive ceramic diaphragm sensor (alumina) covering atmosphere down to 0.1 mbar; it delivers gas-independent absolute pressure readings and high chemical resistance, suitable for direct process measurement with stable temperature and long-term behaviour. Refer to VACUU·VIEW as an alternative product option.
