The versatile new vacuum gauge, VACUUBRAND DCP 3000, allows up to four external gauge heads to be connected simultaneously to the vacuum gauge, and for undistorted results, vacuum is measured directly on the spot.

Communication between the DCP 3000 and the external components is provided by the specially developed bus control VACUU∙BUS. Its standardized plug connectors prevent cable clutter and allow extensions up to 30 m. The large illuminated display, controlled by a simple turn of a knob, will show the readings from each gauge head. The capacitive pressure transducer provides gas-type independent measurement in the range from 1080 to 0.1 mbar. Its unique design combines corrosion resistance, excellent measuring accuracy and long-term stability.

Another new feature is the option to vent the vacuum system at the touch of a button. A matching electromagnetic air admittance valve with VACUU∙BUS control is available as an accessory. The DCP 3000 comes with an RS 232C serial interface for bi-directional communication. This allows remote monitoring, e.g. by means of the PC software package VACUU∙CONTROL. The simple calibration procedure completes the overall user-friendly concept.
