Quantum SmartSENS DCP | Wide range vacuum sensor
Why is the Quantum Gauge Series a Quantum Leap for Vacuum Measurement?
The Quantum Gauge Series is a quantum leap in simplicity and range for vacuum gauging. Smart pairings of sensor technologies that deliver what people really need.
All-in-one, highly accurate wide range vacuum measurement at a cost-effective price point.
This DuoSENS capacitive piezo vacuum sensor represents a “quantum” leap in simplicity and usability for processing and distillation applications. Instead of using a rough sensor and a traditional narrow range capacitance manometer, the Quantum DCP DuoSENS allows you to do all that direct pressure measurement in a small environmentally-friendly, low-power package.
Other DigiVac Quantum Gauge Series Options: DPP SmartSENS, DPCP TriSENS

Frequently asked questions

What range and accuracy does the DCP Quantum cover?+

0.01 to 1000 Torr at plus/minus 3% - five decades of direct pressure measurement. Measurement is gas independent, which is the practical advantage over a thermal gauge, and the piezo sensor zeroes automatically.

What power and output signals does it need?+

Supply voltage 12-30 VDC, power consumption 350 mW maximum. Reverse-polarity and overvoltage protection are built in, with a 100 mA thermally recoverable internal fuse. Output is 0-10 V for direct connection to a PLC.

What are the relay specifications?+

A solid-state relay for process control, with a set-point range of 0.0075 Torr (7.5 x 10-3) to 1000 Torr and a contact rating of 250 mA at 50 VDC or VAC peak. The relay is UL Recognized under file E76270.

What materials are exposed to the vacuum?+

Media-wetted materials are 304 stainless steel, Kovar, glass, silicon, aluminium oxide, gold, Viton, solder, R04305 and vitreous silica. The enclosure is stainless steel 1.4307 / AISI 304L and aluminium. Protection rating is IP40 to EN 60529/A2:2013.

What temperatures can it operate at?+

Operating ambient temperature and media temperature are both -20 to +50 degrees C. Storage ambient is -20 to +80 degrees C, and non-operating bake-out temperature is +80 degrees C. Temperature compensation applies over +10 to +50 degrees C.

How does it mount, and how is pressure indicated locally?+

A KF16 vacuum interface with an integrated baffle that helps keep particulates off the sensor elements. Multi-colour LEDs indicate the current pressure range and a bright yellow LED warns of overpressure, which is useful when the transducer is running without a display controller. Typical applications given are distillation, freeze-drying, PVD coating, load-lock control and furnace heat treatment.
