Connecting
1
Channel 1: Connect the sensor with to the CH1-A 
or CH1-B connection. Use a shielded 1:1 cable.
2
Channel 2: Connect the sensor with to the CH2-A 
or CH2-B connection. Use a shielded 1:1 cable.
3
Channel 3: Connect the sensor with to the CH3-A 
or CH3-B connection. Use a shielded 1:1 cable.
3.3.5
RELAY
The switching functions and the error monitoring system 
influence the state of several relays inside of the Vacuum 
Gauge Controller. The RELAY connection (Fig. 3-4, 
11, Pos. J) allows to utilize the relay contacts for
switching purposes. The relay contacts are potential-free 
(floating).

NOTE:
Pin 25 is used for supplying relays with a higher 
breaking capacity. The supply contact is protected at 
200 mA with a PTC element. The element is self-reset-
ting when switching the unit off or unplugging the 
RELAY connector.
1
Connect the peripheral components with the 
RELAY connection. Use a shielded connection 
cable.
CAUTION
Improper sensor.
Sensors which are not designed for use with 
the Vacuum Gauge Controller may damage 
the unit.
Operate the Vacuum Gauge Controller with 
proper sensors only. See Chapter 2.3.1 Sen-
sor connections,  8.
CAUTION
Multiple connection.
Only one sensor may be connected to each of 
the channels. Otherwise the connected sen-
sors will be damaged.
Never connect more than one sensor per 
channel.

25 +24 VDC, 200 mA. Meets 
the requirements of a ground 
protective extra low voltage 
(SELV)
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Voltages above 60 VDC or 30 VAC pose a 
shock hazard.
The RELAY connection may be used for 
switching voltages of max. 60 VDC or 30 VAC 
only. These voltages must meet the require-
ments of a ground protective extra low volt-
age (SELV).
