About this manual

The TELEVAC MP4AR Remote Convection Gauge provides a compact, stand-alone measurement solution for vacuum pressures ranging from 1 x 10^-3 Torr to 1 x 10^3 Torr. It utilizes the reliable TELEVAC 4A Sensor and can be mounted vertically to measure absolute pressure by determining heat loss from a thermocouple. The instrument offers local readout or can be interfaced directly with PLCs, chart recorders, or data acquisition systems.

Frequently asked questions

How do I power the MP4AR gauge?

Apply 24 DC volt power between pin # 3 (+) and pin # 4 (-) of the connector cable.

What should I do if the display shows 'HI'?

Check if the atmosphere adjustment is incorrect or if there is a broken filament in the sensor.

Does the MP4AR require regular maintenance?

No maintenance is required beyond the periodic replacement of a contaminated sensor.

Can the gauge be used for calibration at the customer's facility?

Yes, but it requires a knowledgeable electronics technician trained in vacuum calibration and equipment of certifiable accuracy.
