Description
The bright OLED digital vacuum gauge display makes it easy to read from a distance. Options on this Pirani gauge can be set from four touch controls on the top of the unit or through RS-485 communications (or EthernetIP if you add in an EthernetIP gateway). This vacuum gauge offers an extensive selection of fittings, simple use, ease of sensor replacement, and low cost, making it an excellent choice for a variety of vacuum applications.
