Pressure controller VCpro 601

Overview
The VCpro 601 vacuum controller measures and displays vacuum pressure both graphically and digitally and regulates pressure in the range 1–1100 mbar (825–0.75 Torr). It includes a timed ramp function for controlled pressure ramps (e.g., distillation, vacuum drying) and a programmable mode for defining pressure profiles over time. The chemically resistant ceramic thick-film hybrid sensor is gas-independent and provides absolute pressure readings. Direct PC communication and data logging are available via RS232 or LAN. The controller operates an inline open/close solenoid valve and can be used with various vacuum sources, including diaphragm pumps commonly paired with small rotary evaporators.
