  • Clean design, intuitive menu navigation, large data logger and precise measurement results – with its new VD800 series Thyracont Vacuum Instruments is on the road to the future, consistently concentrating on the users’ needs.

    The VD800 vacuum meters measure absolute pressure in a large range of 2000 to 5e-5 mbar and additionally relative pressure in the range of -1060 to +1200 mbar. Their big graphic display shows current measurement values and pressure graphs as well as minimum and maximum pressure. The 4+1 membrane keypad provides a comfortable, menu-driven operation. An integrated data logger saves multiple measurement series with their RTC data. With sampling rates from 20 ms to 60 s the instruments are not only of interest for fast vacuum processes but also for long-term monitoring. If required, an alarm function gives an optic or acoustic signal when reaching a defined threshold value.

    The USB-C interface – or optional Bluetooth® LE for wireless data transfer – allows a direct read-out of the measured data and the export of measurement series stored in the data logger. Using the Thyracont VacuGraph™ software, the user is able to comfortably save and analyze the data as well as to start an online measurement.

    Intelligent energy management provides for a long battery performance of the VD800. A standard power supply is sufficient to charge the VD800 via its USB-C interface. The new modular design allows an easy exchange of contaminated or defective sensor heads by authorized personnel on-site, reducing maintenance time and costs to a minimum.

    The models: The VD800 is to be used with an external Thyracont USB transducer. It is thus ideally suited for applications with reduced space or to read-out permanently installed sensors. The VD810 with a resistant ceramic sensor measures independent on gas type in the rough vacuum range. The Piezo/Pirani combination sensor of the VD850 covers a wide measuring range in rough and fine vacuum with highest precision and accuracy.

    The VD800 vacuum meters can be connected to vacuum pumps or plants, linked to external sensors or directly placed into vacuum chambers. Mobile use or permanent installation in vacuum plants – both are possible. The compact VD800 are perfect for service use, quality control and maintenance work or for leakage testing via rate of rise measurement.

    "Thyracont handheld vacuum meters set benchmarks for precision and functionality. Modernizing this product family, we successfully improved the products performance whilst simultaneously enhancing their intuitive handling. Graphical display, menu-driven operation and a simplified use of the data logger are just a few examples of the improvements made.” Frank P. Salzberger, CEO.

  • The new Thyracont vacuum transducers in ultra-compact design unite digital and analog. Reduced to the essentials, the models offer an optimal price-performance ratio.

    The Mini-Transducers, which will be available in four versions, are ideal for applications with limited space thanks to their miniaturized, industrial design. They are typically suited best for use in pumping devices, e.g., turbomolecular pumps, in analytical applications, and spectrometers.

    With their piezo/Pirani combination sensor, the PTL and PTR models measure in a wide range in rough and fine vacuum with high resolution and accuracy.  Both measure absolute pressure in a range from 2000 to 5e-5 mbar, model PTR also relative pressure in a range from max. -1060 to +1200 mbar. Two additional versions with Pirani sensors will soon be added to the portfolio. The mini transducer PCP will measure absolute pressure in a range from 1000 to 5e-4 mbar, model PTP in a range from 1000 to 1e-4 mbar.

    The measured values can be read out digitally via their serial RS485 or UART interface. A fast response time of 5 ms and the excellent resolution of the transducers enable stable, short-cycled, and thus efficient production processes. The optimized individual temperature compensation provides for excellent accuracy and steady measuring values. Additionally, the devices allow precise digital readjustment to atmospheric or zero pressure, programming of the gas type correction factor, and retrieval of various parameters for preventive maintenance.

    The Mini-Transducers are available for OEM customers with a minimum order quantity of 500 units.

  • Smartline Vacuum Transducers
    Digital. Durable. Intelligent. Measuring Range 1200 to 5e-10 mbar | 900 to 5e-10 Torr...

  • Digital interfaces

    The SmartlineTM transducers have a RS485 interface and either an additional 0-10 V output, EtherCat or PROFINET interface.

    Fit for industry 4.0

    All PROFINET transducers can communicate with OPC UA servers. They support MRP and a bidirectional, lossless data transfer between all components from individual I/O Signals to the ERP level and even to the cloud. That provides an efficient way to manage downstream processes or optimize maintenance cycles (preventive maintenance).

    Durable sensors

    The Pirani with increased measuring range in the Thyracont combination gauges controls the ionization sensors in such a way that they are only switched on at a very low pressure. This conserves the sensor technology and allows a long lifetime of the gauges. Alternatively, switch and transition ranges between the vacuum sensors are individually configurable. A voltage reduction of their cold cathodes optimizes the durability of the vacuum transducers VSM and VSI.
