Frequently Asked Questions - IGC100 SRS
How do I calibrate the IGC100?
Calibration is performed using internal gas correction factors. Connect the gauge to a known reference pressure, then access the calibration menu via the front panel. For accurate results, use the autocalibration function with the correct gas type selected.
What filaments are compatible with the IGC100?
The IGC100 supports two filament types: yttria-coated iridium and thoria-coated iridium. The filament type should be set in the controller‘s firmware. Replacement filaments are available from SRS.
Can I use the IGC100 with a convection gauge?
No, the IGC100 is designed specifically for ion gauges. For combination with convection gauges, consider a multi-sensor controller like the SRS IGC100 Plus or use separate controllers.
How do I set up the alarm setpoints?
Navigate to the SP (Setpoint) menu using the front panel. Press the SET button, adjust the desired pressure threshold using the +/- keys, and assign to relay 1 or 2. Confirm with ENTER. The relay output will activate when the pressure crosses the setpoint.
What is the maximum pressure the IGC100 can measure?
The IGC100 measures from 1.0 x 10^-10 Torr to 5.0 x 10^-2 Torr (0.133 mPa to 6.67 Pa) with a typical ion gauge. For higher pressures, an additional convection gauge is needed.
How do I clean the ion gauge sensor?
Cleaning should only be performed if pressure readings are unstable. Use a non-abrasive solvent like isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth. Avoid touching the filament. After cleaning, bake out the gauge at 200°C for 2 hours.
Can I connect the IGC100 to a computer?
Yes, via the RS-232 port (9-pin D-sub). Use a standard serial cable. The IGC100 supports commands for reading pressure, setpoints, and status. Optional GPIB interface is also available.
What does the ‘Emission‘ error mean?
The ‘Emission‘ error indicates that the electron emission current is out of range. This often occurs if the filament is worn out or the gauge is contaminated. Check the filament integrity and replace if necessary.
How do I replace the filament?
Turn off the controller and disconnect power. Unscrew the gauge tube from the cable. Using a small screwdriver, remove the filament retainer, then carefully pull out the old filament and insert a new one. Reassemble and recalibrate.
What is the analog output voltage?
The analog output is 0-10 VDC, configurable for linear or logarithmic scaling. Use the menu to select the scaling type. The output corresponds to the measured pressure; for example, 0 V = minimum range, 10 V = maximum.
